The Three Kings Monument and the old city centre

The Three Kings Statue is in front of the old provincialChiamgmai Three Kings Monument hall very close to the centre of the old city. At the south west corner of the square on Inthawororot Road is the site of the former temple and original location of the city pillar - Wat Sadoe Muang, which means "temple of the navel of the city". According to legend the site was a former grove where Mangrai saw two fearless white deer drive off a pack of hunting dogs. He took this as an auspicious omen for the sighting of the city. The only remains of the temple are two chedi. An inscription nearby dates the octagonal chedi back to the 14th century. The Buddha images under the shelter go back to the time of Kawila.
Behind the monument stands the old provincial hall. It was converted into an Art and Culture Hall. Across Phrapokklao Road to the east stands the Chiang Mai magistrate court.

On the north-cast corner of the Phrapokklao - Ratwithi road  intersection is Yupparat School, which was built on the grounds of the former palace of the kings of Chiang Mai. The wooden building that stands at the corner near the intersection is the former stable for white elephants - a symbol of power and nobility - belonging to former Chao.

The high school, which was founded in 1899, is one of Chiang Mai's oldest schools. It has been at this site since 1922 and now has nearly three thousand students. A small shrine to King Mangrai stands south on Phrapokklao Road, where it crosses Ratchadamnoen Road. The spot where King Mangrai was thought to have been struck by lightning is a few meters down a short lane just north of the intersection.

The Kampaeng DinChaingmai Kamparng Din
Kampaeng Din is the Thai name for an extensive earthen rampart that protected settlements beyond the city walls to the south and east. Phra Mekuti may have first constructed the wall and redirected local streams to form moats as an outer defense. Some remains may be seen on Kampaeng Din Road, but other remnants are largely hidden away behind houses. An interesting area to see them is in the lanes south of Wat Nantaram, which is famous for its herbal medicines. A walk northwest from the temple up Wualai Soi3 takes you to Wat Muen San and the silver making area along Wualai Road.
