Wat I did today!!!!
Amazing temple complex. Meditate in the forest monks temple and appreciate all of the relics but don’t fall asleep like I did because a man on loudspeaker say“ you can meditate but do not sleep!!!!” You can converse with monks once a day and listen to the daily chants. Across the street is a 7-Eleven where you can buy cheaper incense and offerings for the temple. I spent many days here and even found their gated cemetery which was quite magical. A very old temple not flashy like the other ones but it has a lot of history and soul.

Very elegant ancient pagoda in downtown Chiang Mai
This is a very elegant ancient pagoda in downtown Chiang Mai. It is partly ruined due to the ages but you can still see the beauty. Suggest to walk around the pagoda. Each side looks slightly different. You can also visit many other temples nearby and can easily stop over at a nice cafe or restaurant when you feel tired and want to have a rest.
