Lanna Temple Dawn Walk

Chiang Mai Old City

The silver-clad ubosot of Wat Sri Suphan on Wualai Road, Chiang Mai

Best Time to Do This

Sunrise, in the cool season (November to February), when the Old City's temple-dense streets are near-empty and the morning air is at its coolest for walking between several temples on foot.

What to Expect

A walking route linking several of the Old City's Lanna-era temples, timed to catch monks' morning almsgiving and the first light on centuries-old brick and gilding before tour groups arrive.

How to Prepare

Comfortable walking shoes for a multi-temple route on foot, plus the standard shoulders-and-knees temple dress carried the whole way, since shoes and cover-ups come on and off at every entrance.
