About this place
Wat Chedi Luang is an active Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai’s Old City, centred on its large historic brick chedi.
A useful first Old City stop, the temple can be visited at a slower pace before continuing to another central site. Spend time looking at the chedi and the religious setting instead of trying to complete every temple in one morning. Check current visitor access, admission and any restricted areas on arrival.
The temple is on Phra Pokklao Road within Chiang Mai’s walled Old City. Courtyards, thresholds and steps need care. Wear respectful clothing, leave worshippers space and ask the temple directly about an accessible route if needed.
