My last tour of Thailand and it was to visit 3 temples in Chiang Mai.
Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara
Wat Chedi Luang, this temple is the site of an enormous pagoda, originally 280 feet high, and was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1545. It also housed a large about of buddas and a museum. There was a celebration happening while we were there so it was very busy.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Temple in the mountains with a lovely river running through it. I posted a video on insta of me showing respect to the budda and then ringing the bell 3 times. Unfortunately, the guide that took the video did it in a weird so mo, so I quickened it up, but it has no audio, so you can’t hear the bell!
Wat Pha Lat
This temple is the ancient precursor (lower on the mountain) than Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. This one was my favourite with all the gold! We took a cable car up to the top and we walked down after. I did three rituals here:
1. Lit a candle and gave a lily to the budda
2. Had a monk say a prayer and wish my family and friends health and prosperity
3. I did the fortune game and got lucky this time it was a good one. The last one I did at the Chinese temple was truly horrible.
