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.

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.

Absolutely recommend!!
We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour!! The temples at night were beautiful and felt like a far more intimate experience, the tuk tuk ride was fun, and our guide Tu was exceptional!! So smart and with his history of 11 years as a monk, he truly invited us into the history of chiang mai and buddhism in northern thailand. We enjoyed the night market as well (one small hiccup was Tu initially accidentally walked away prior to paying the khao soi stand, but he came back quickly and it was not a problem!) I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting chiang mai.

Not a good tour- this is a night time temple tour
1) the pick up location was at the gate across from Burger King that was sent via email was incorrect; it was at Burger King across from the gate 2) not a food tour- it is a night temple tour via TikTok 3) the tour guide kept saying she had a budget for food ( very hungry at 830 after visiting 3 temples.) she should have told us what the budget was and offered a desert other than mango and sticky rice ( like ice cream.) 3 of the 5 participants did not want mango and sticky rice and no alternative was offered ( I guess that increased her budget for the next group.) 3) after getting our dinner, she left. She should have stayed and offered cultural information and talk over dinner 4) no introduction of the participants at the start of the tour 5) information at each temple was adequate
Response from the operator: Dear alexandra , Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your tour did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the meeting point, the pacing of the evening, and the dining experience. We completely understand how frustrating it is to deal with an unclear meeting point and a hungry start after visiting the temples, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of variety and communication around the meal arrangements. Please rest assured that our guide always tries her absolute best to take care of everyone, but we clearly fell short in providing the smooth, attentive service and cultural engagement you deserved during dinner. Your points regarding group introductions, staying through dinner, and offering alternative food options are extremely valuable to us. We are already reviewing our communication details—including the exact meeting point instructions—and working closely with our guide team to ensure these issues are addressed moving forward. While we are glad to hear that you found the information at the temples adequate, we are sorry that the overall experience left you disappointed. We truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention as they help us improve significantly. Wishing you safe and happy travels ahead. Warm regards, The ExploreSiam team

Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk Tuk 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 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 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 Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 141 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk Tuk 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 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 Night Tour?
+
Around 49 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 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 Night Tour?
+

Where is the meeting point for Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk Tuk Night Tour?

What languages is Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk Tuk 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.
