Etiquette When Visiting a Temple
Thais prefer visitors to temples to cover their bodies as a sign of respect for their religion. Religious objects like Buddha images and chedi should not be climbed upon or touched. When Thais sit on floors, they do not point their feet in a direction worthy of respect, such as a Buddha image, monk, or a teacher. They consider the head as "high" and the feet as "low"
Temples of Chiang Mai

The temples of Chiang Mai are perhaps the most interesting of its many attractions. Unlike Bangkok, where few temples are more than 200 years old, some temples in Chiang Mai are as old as the city, which celebrated it's 700th anniversary in 1996.

The one temple every first-time visitor absolutely, positively must see is the mountain-top Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. The temple is a "must see" not only for its importance as a pilgrimage temple, but also for the outstanding views it has of the city and its surrounding plain, "when the weather cooperates". A trip to the temple is usually combined with a stop at the Royal Phu Phing Palace and the Doi Pui Mao village. There are, however, many other temples in Chiang Mai worth a visit. Some of these are a bit off the tourist trail.

Wat Pan Tao Wat Pa Pao
simply-thai.com - thai market - destination guides - Chiangmai Temples - Wat Pan Tao Next to Wat Chedi Luang is a small interesting temple called Wat Pan Tao, which means 'to increase 1,000 times.'

It was one of four monastic temples serving the royal temple simply-thai.com - thai market - destination guides - Chiangmai Temples - Wat Pa Pao Is completely overlooked by all the guidebooks, but Wat Pa Pao is a quite unique temple in Chiang Mai.
 
Wat Pra Sing Wat Suan Dok
simply-thai.com - thai market - destination guides - Chiangmai Temples - Wat Pra Sing Within the walls of the Old City, Wat Pra Sing was started in the mid-14th century.
