Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand

4.0 (224 reviews) Spent Ranking #14 in Chiang Rai Historic Sites • Bodies of Water

Visit

This is like a mini version of Ayutthaya or Sukhothai. This is worth the trip from Chiang Rai and does not have as many tourists. The itinerary should be the Chiang Saen National Museum, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Pasak and Wat Phra That Chom Kitti.

Absolutely needed....
For those who travel to the golden triangly or not... this visit is a must. There are the remains of and old capital, the walls, the temples, the moat and also a small, little, neglected museum that is worth a visit. Chances of amazing photos are undeniable

Vintage town
No time to walk around much but this town looked pretty neat with parts of the old wall surrounding it. Only managed to take the old Wat Chedi Luang, the oldest bell stupa in Chiang Saen. This stupa is about 9000 years old but after the earthquake in 2014, it now has a new top! Its body is still original.
