Tour description
Explore the laid-back capital of northern Thailand on a free walking tour around Chiang Mai’s ancient walled Old City. With a local guide, you’ll start at the historic Tha Phae Gate, walk along the old moat and crumbling walls, then visit sacred temples, including the imposing Wat Chedi Luang and gold-plated Wat Phra Singh. Learn about the 700-year-old Lanna Kingdom at the Three Kings Monument, stroll through quiet lanes dotted with cafés and craft shops, and hear stories about monks, festivals, and the cultures of the hill tribes. Get useful local tips on khao soi, night markets, and the most appropriate etiquette when entering temples. Join for free — at the end of the tour, simply tip the guide according to what you feel it was worth.
