“A must see in Chiang Mai”
5 of 5 starsReviewed December 1, 2012
Serene with panoramic views on a clear day, the best temple in Chiang Mai.

Best way to visit is by private Taxi, which should cost around 1200 Bhat, and should take you there and back, and wait in air conditioned comfort. For those on a budget there is the red bus option at around 500 Bhat (see xe.com for local currency). Also at the temple is the Jade factory which is also worth looking at,

There is now a cable car to take you to the top, but still interesting to climb the steps at least once.

True Thai hospitality

My wife and I visited Chiangmai in October for the third time. The city has grew so much but one of the things that does not seem to change is the charm of its culture and hospitality of its people. One of my fond experiences was my visit to Orchid Jade. After been taken to so many tourist stores where I was forced to buy something I don't want, this family-run business store simply showed me around their jade factory, which was quite an experience. I ended up buying five jade elephants for my children. I just thought that if you're planning on a trip to Chiangmai you should definitely include a trip to Orchid Jade in your itinerary.
