Thailand - Chiang Mai 1

Photo Gallery of Chiang Mai in Thailand..

Chiangmai is the largest city in Northern Thailand, about one hour from Bangkok, was the capital of the ancient kingdom in the north of Thailand, " Lanna Thai " (Kingdom of a million rice fields). (In 1296, the capital was moved from Lamphun to Chiangmai.) It still has old city walls and gates.

Temperatures are a little cooler than in Bangkok and I like the relaxing atmosphere. Chiang Mai is one my favorite cities in Thailand.

Tha Phae Gate

(The picture above: Tha Phae Gate)

The city is very large and they have a lot of building, shops and temples. If you have time, it's better to stay there for some days to see around but if you don't, go around the city using local transportation such as Sam Lor (a very convenient bicycle taxi) because even if it's a little cooler than in Bangkok, it's still very warm. :D )

They have a rich culture and you can enjoy visiting various places such as Doi Suthep, Doi Inthanon, Elephant camp, hill tribes, night market and other many historical places. I still have a lot of places to visit.
Chian Mai can be the center to explore the northern Thailand because other cities such as Chiang Rai, Mae Hong Son, Lampang and Lamphun are not so far.

I hear that a lot of Japanese go and live there after their retirement and I want to live and relax in Thailand after retirement, too. :D

[ChiangMai] The city and the city wall
Tha Phae Gate - Around New Years, the place is decorated like this. Let's see around the city of Chiangmai in the north of Thailand. Chiangmai was the capital of the ancient kingdom in the north of Thailand, " Lanna Thai " and the city still has city walls, gates, and moats along the walls. The picture left shows a view of New Years around the big gate called " Tha Phae Gate". (About the gate, see the picture of the top of this page.) The "Tha Phae Gate" is located at the east side of the city walls and its origin dates back to 1296 when King Mengrai of Lannathai put the capital in Chiangmai. The gate was called "Chiang Ruak Gate" after a village's name nearby but it was gradually called "Inner Tha Phae Gate" because the gate outside of the city was called "Outer Tha Phae Gate". After the outside gate was gone, the gate became just simply "Tha Phae Gate". The current gate was rebuilt around 1985 to 1986. By the way "Tha Phae" means "raft".

[ChiangMai] Wat Jed Yod
Called Wat Jet Yod from the seven-spired chedi. (Jet Yod = seven spires) The temple, Wat Jet Yod (or Wat Chet Yot), was built in 1455 by the 9th King of Lanna, King Tilokarat (1442-1487) to host the Eighth World Buddhist Council in 1477, which revised the Tripitaka (Buddhist canon and teachings). The temple was originally called Wat Botharam Mahavihara in honor of the venerated Bodhi tree the king planted and is called Wat Jet Yod from the seven-spired chedi. (Jet Yod = seven spires) They say that the square sided design of the Virhra with seven peaks was copied from Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya, India, Three chedis stand in the spacious grounds. The largest contains the ashes of King Tilokarat.

[ChiangMai] Wat Chedi Luang
Wat Chedi Luang was built about six hundred years ago. It was the tallest chedi in the era of Lanna Thai. Wat Chedi Luang was built about six hundred years ago. It was the tallest chedi in the era of Lanna Thai. In 1391, King Saen Muang Ma (1386-1401) built this temple for his father, King Kuna. In 1479-1481, the pagoda was reconstructed and enlarged to 80 meters in height and 56 meters on each side at its base. It was a mixture of Lans, Sri lankan, and Pagan architectural forms. The most sacred Buddha image in Thailand, the Emerald Buddha, was enshrined here once for about 80 years. In 1545, during the reign of Queen Chiraprabha, the 15th monarch of Mangrai dynasty (1545-1546), a heavy rainstorm and an earthquake toppled part of the great spire like what we can see these days. A driver of a bicycle taxi called Sam Lor took us to this temple. It was a very impressive moment when the view of the chedi, the quite different shape from other temples, came into my eyes.

[Lamphun] Wat Pra Singh (Wat Lee Chiang)
The view of Wat Phra Singh. This temple was called Wat Lee Chiang. Wat Pra Singh, also called Wat Lee Chiang, was built during King Mengrai dynasty, and a very important temple in Chiang Mai, the capital city of the Lanna Thai Kingdom, for seven hundred years. It's said that while King Saen Muang Ma was ruling Lanna Thai Kingdom, a famous Buddha image was taken from Kamphaeng Phet for a Chiang Mai King, however, it was dropped right here and in the end, it was housed in this temple. Because of this story, this temple, "Wat Lee Chiang" got to be called "Wat Lee Chiang Pra", then later, called "Wat Pra Singh". This temple has another famous Buddha image called "Pra Thongtip" in a Chiang Saen style and became the first class royal temple in 1940.

[ChiangMai] Thai Dance
The pictures here are Thai Dance taken in a restaurant when we went to have dinner, khantoke dinner (special northern Thai food), where there was a stage around the center and they were dancing elegantly. It looks like Thai dances in Northern areas feature slower pace motions.

[ChiangMai] Doi Suthep
This temple is " Wat Prathat Doi Suthep " at the 1,080-meter summit of Doi Suthep mountain.("Wat" means "temple", "Doi" is "mountain") It looks like this is the most famous tourist place in Chiang Mai. The wat was built in 1383 during the reign of King Kuena, the 8th ruler of Chiang Mai. This temple is " Wat Prathat Doi Suthep " at the 1,080-meter summit of Doi Suthep mountain.("Wat" means "temple", "Doi" is "mountain") It looks like this is the most famous tourist place in Chiang Mai. The wat was built in 1383 during the reign of King Kuena, the 8th ruler of Chiang Mai. There is a legend like below: King Kuena was given a holy bone relic of the Buddha. He put it on the back of a white elephant and let it roam free. After several days, the elephant reached the top of Doi Suthep and passed away overlooking the town. That is the place where the temple was built. This place has a beautiful golden chedi (stupa) and decorated umbrella as symbols of this temple like the picture above and is visited by many people, not only tourists from overseas but Thai local people as well. You need to go up the long flight of stairs, 306 steps, to reach the temple but try it while enjoying the nature around. :) By the way, foreigners have to pay 30 Baht (about 0.85 U.S. Dollars). (as of Jan. 2007) (While I was looking around at the top of the stairs, someone patted my shoulder and told me, "You have to buy the ticket" in English. I don't think I was asked to pay last time, though... :D)
