   Not suggesting you should walk up to the temple, take some transport. The temple was serene and quiet when we visited, so had a good look around and took some photo's and paid our respects. Views from the top are great. See more..
   
3. 4.0 Wat Phra That Mae Chedi (2 reviews)
   - Friendly and fascinating
   Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites
   
   
   Where to begin with this unique monastery? First it is 120 years old and run by a friendly, accessible and energetic young abbot. The most striking aspect of the monastery is the large sculptures of skeletons and grasping hands emerging from the ground. There is a splendidly disorganised collection of weapons donated by the faithful. These include a massive cannon, antique spears, swords and daggers as well as some dangerous looking maces. A number of more traditional items are there too, including some ancient Buddhas, safely kept in a steel cage. There is a lot of building going on too with an ordination hall with a royal barge on its roof, an enormous gong, and a handsome four faced Hindu god. A further oddity are large coloured stucco models of an ear, an eye, a nose and a tongue. The abbot will also establish a horoscope for you. See more..

7. 3.5 Thaweesin Hot Spring (30 reviews)
   - Natural Hot Spring
   Spent < 1 hour Thermal Spas
   
   
   It's nothing wow, but you can stop for some time and look around Natural Hot Spring. Take a Day trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, depending on traffic, it takes around an hour from Chiang Mai City. You can look over silver shops and some quick food. Don't be surprised if you see, local keeping eggs inside the spring in a basket to boil. Not sure about the ancient temple name. Note: Checking temperature in bare hand not recommended.
