A walk inside the old city

เดินในเวียง

Four wats within a few hundred metres of each other in the walled city of Chiang Mai — a real walk, ordered by how far apart they actually are.

5 steps

  1. Wat Chiang Manสถานที่ · a place

    Begin at Wat Chiang Man, inside the moat. Heritage-registered, and the one wat here whose name the manuscript catalogue also knows.

  2. วัดล่ามช้างสถานที่ · a place

    143 metres: วัดล่ามช้าง. The distances on this trail are measured between recorded coordinates, not estimated.

  3. วัดเชียงยืนสถานที่ · a place

    289 metres from the start: วัดเชียงยืน.

  4. วัดแสนเมืองมาหลวงสถานที่ · a place

    320 metres: วัดแสนเมืองมาหลวง. Four temples, one walk, and every one of them a page here with its own photographs and sources.

  5. Wats of the Lanna northหน้า · a page

    When you want the rest of them: 1,466 mapped temples, of which a few hundred carry photographs.

That was a trail. Every step is a real record in the archive, and every link on it goes somewhere you can keep pulling.
