What you'll see and do
Wat Phra Singh
Wat Phra Singh is one of the most famous and most attractive temples within the walled old city of Chiang Mai. The temple, which is also known as “The Monastery of the Lion Buddha” is an active temple, with many monks and novices living there. Wat Phra Singh dates back to the 14th century when Chiang Mai was the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, and is one of the finest examples of classic Lanna style temple architecture.

Wat Phan Tao
Wat Phan Tao is one of the oldest temples in Chiang Mai. The temple's first structures were built probably in the late 14th century. Located within the old walled city, just next to Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phan Tao is well known for its exquisite Lanna-style 'viharn', the ordination hall, entirely made of teakwood on a stone base.

Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara
Wat Chedi Luang, also known as “The temple of the Great Stupa”, is an impressive temple ruin. The construction of the temple lasted from 1391 to 1475. Although the temple collapsed in 1545 due to an earthquake, it was for centuries the tallest building in Chiang Mai. The massive and very impressive chedi (pagoda) dominating the area is its most prominent feature. Wat Chedi Luang is also famous for once housing the Emerald Buddha, one of the most important religious relics in Thailand, which can now be found in the Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.

Wat Lok Molee
Just outside the old walled city center of Chiang Mai, Wat Lok Molee is one of the city’s older temples. The temple that is also known as the Wat Lok Molee houses one of the largest and most impressive chedis in Chiang Mai. The massive chedi was built in 1527 when it must have dominated the area. The chedi contains the ashes of several Kings of the Mengrai dynasty, who ruled the Lanna Kingdom from the end of the 13th century until 1558 when the Burmese invaded the Kingdom.

Night Bazaar
Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is the most famous market in Chiang Mai, and one of the top tourist attractions in the city. This night bazaar consists of street-side stalls selling mostly clothing and handicrafts. You will also find a wide range of (street)food and snacks at the market. It is here where we will enjoy a simple meal and a dessert. After that, it's time to say goodbye to your guide. You can take a tuk-tuk back to your hotel (not included) or further explore the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar on your own.

Good on temples, should just drop the market part
Guide was great - we really learned quite a bit about the temples, and the active rituals and practices around them, which was helpful for the whole rest of our trip. Tuktuk drivers were good. Unfortunately, the market was a big let down - the guide just ordered some very unspicy pad thai and fried rice for the group (from stalls that had everything translated in English anyways) with no explanations or information about any ingredients, more interesting dishes, etc. So this very much isn't a food tour and we wished we had skipped that last half hour and saved our stomachs for something more adventurous. If you are truly new to Thai food it would probably be fine.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed the temple portion of the tour and found the explanations about the rituals and local practices helpful for the rest of your trip. We’re also happy that you had a good experience with the tuk-tuk drivers. We’re sorry that the market and food portion did not meet your expectations. We understand that you were hoping for a more in-depth food experience, with more variety and explanation about the dishes and ingredients. Your comments are very helpful, and we’ll share them with our team as we look at how we can improve this part of the experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback and for choosing WanderSiam.

Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 244 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour?
+
Around 85 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, Bamboo Rafting and Waterfall Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour?
+
Included: English speaking guide; One bottle of drinking water per person; Dessert; Entrance fees; and Tuk-tuk with driver. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour?
+
The meeting point is in front of the Burger King at Thapae Gate (the eastern gate of the Old City). On Sundays, the Sunday Walking Street takes place in the Old City. It will be busy and some roads are closed. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk-Tuk Evening Night Tour?
