The rainy season atmosphere is perfect for those who enjoy making merit. We recommend visiting Wat Tham Chiang Dao, located in Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province. This temple is beautiful and offers a peaceful and natural environment. It is an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature. Wat Tham Chiang Dao is about 70 kilometers from Chiang Mai city and can be reached by private car or public minivan services from the city. The temple is surrounded by lush greenery and mountains, featuring a blend of Thai and Lanna architecture and pagodas. For those with more time, we recommend exploring Chiang Dao Cave. Inside the cave, you will find stunning stalactites and stalagmites, as well as Buddha statues and pagodas. The cave's cool and serene atmosphere provides a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. It's a must-visit destination if you have the chance to travel to Chiang Mai.

📍Wat Tham Chiang Dao Wat Tham Chiang Dao is located in Chiang Dao District, on the same route as the way up to Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, which is another place that if anyone visits Chiang Dao, they must stop by to see the beauty of the cave and pay homage to the sacred objects at Doi Luang Chiang Dao. Before entering the cave, there is an entrance fee of 20 baht per person. When entering the cave, an officer will ask if we want to visit the various chambers inside the cave. If we want to enter, there will be a volunteer team to walk around with a hurricane lantern. And must pay a guide fee to the temple of about 300 baht per group. We recommend going in because from asking the volunteer aunties who took us in, some days they only took the group in once. And it is quite dark inside. Tourists are not allowed to go in by themselves. There is a chance of getting lost or falling into the ravine. Anyone who visits Chiang Dao, don't forget to stop by Chiang Dao Cave. 📌 273 Moo 5, Chiang Dao Subdistrict, Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai 50170 #VisitChiangMai #WhereToGoInChiangMai #WatThamChiangDao #ChiangDao #DoiLuangChiangDao #Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary

Chiang Dao Cave is located on the shoulder of Doi Luang or Doi Ang Slung mountain in Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province. It is the largest and deepest cave in Thailand. It is said that inside the cave there are many passages that connect to each other, leading to the Shan State of Burma. Currently, the path to the end of the cave has not been explored. According to the legend of Doi Luang or Doi Ang Slung, it is said that during the time of the Buddha, the Lord Buddha once came to reside at Doi Luang and bathed in the basin at the foot of the mountain. This is the origin of the name "Doi Ang Slung". The name has now been changed to "Doi Luang Chiang Dao". #WinterTravelNorth #WinterSeasideTravel #WinterNearBangkok #NewYear #EventCelebration

Chiang Dao Cave, Chiang Mai - Thailand: With 1.30 hours drive from ChiangMai, you can explore this cave with colorful lighting inside. This cave is also a part of Chiang Dao temple and the mountain there has been claimed as the third highest mountain in Thailand.

Chiang Dao Cave can be visited from 7 am to 5 pm. We started to feel the increasing coldness when we walked up to the entrance of the cave. When we walked into the inside of the cave, there will be a guide to give advice. The cave is divided into 3 zones: - The first route is Tham Phra Non, this route is 360 m long. - The second route is Tham Kaew, Tham Nam, 734 m long. - The third route is Tham Mued, Tham Ma, 735 m long. The zone that you can walk to see by yourself is Route 1. When walking the first route into the deepest part of the cave, there will be an ancient reclining Buddha named Phra Kassapa, built by Mong At, approximately 2 meters long, lying on his back on a platform close to the top of the stairs in the hall. There will be electricity all the way. The other 2 zones are the deep inner cave zones, where we will need a guide and pay a 200 baht fee for a lantern. As for asking for a guide, it is up to us to support it. : Of course, we chose the second option, which is to use the guide service with a lantern. The path in the cave was pitch black with only the light of a small lamp and the sound of breathing. The cold air gradually warmed up a little. We walked along the path that was not too difficult to walk but we still had to be careful because the cave was quite humid. But surprisingly, normally when we go into caves, we often smell bat guano, but this cave did not. : The path went deeper and deeper, but we could breathe normally. Inside the cave, there were many sparkling stalactites and stalagmites. This cave was also where Luang Pu Man Phurithatto traveled to do his asceticism at Chiang Dao Cave. We spent quite a while walking in the cave because we stopped to take pictures and admire the beauty of this cave. The guide took us to various points. The path was not too difficult but we had to be careful. After we walked out of the cave, we walked around the temple for a while before continuing our journey to our accommodation. : For us, this was another place that we liked, whether it was the peace, the shade, or the beauty of the cave. If anyone has the chance to travel to Chiang Dao, we would not want to miss it. : 📌“Pay the electricity maintenance fee of 20 baht per person” (foreigners 40 baht per person) #Guชอบเที่ยว #guliketravel #Tham Luang Chiang Dao #Chiang Mai #Chiang Dao

#Get a discount without relying on luck ❤️Chiang Dao Cave, Chiang Mai❤️If this is in the reservation zone of Wat Chiang Dao, there will be a Buddha statue for worship and a guide to take you inside the cave. In the cave, there are rocks that have formed into various shapes at each point. It takes about 30-45 minutes to see. You must have a local guide to lead the way because the cave is very dark and there are dangerous points if you don't know the way. In addition, there are bats in the cave, bad smell, the path in the cave is quite slippery and crawling is difficult, but not much. But the way down when leaving the cave is steep and there are caution points. Personally, hold on to the railing and walk slowly. 💰Entrance ticket to the Reclining Buddha Cave is 20 baht (not going into other parts of the cave). There are lights along the way. Free to see, walk to the entrance of the cave and pass the guide. 💰Visit other parts of the cave by people in the community who volunteer. There will be a service fee of 200 baht for a lantern, which is oil with a strong smell because there is no light in the cave and a tip for the guide. 📍Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai #Chiang Dao #Chiang Mai

Another winter festival that many tourists want to experience is "Doi Luang" in Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province. In addition to its beauty, this place also has many fascinating stories. Before going up to Doi Luang Chiang Dao, the first thing to do when arriving in Chiang Dao is to pay homage to the Buddha at Wat Tham Chiang Dao before going up to Doi Luang. Because the locals here consider Wat Tham Chiang Dao to be a sacred place and protect this Doi Luang. "Wat Tham Chiang Dao" is a temple with a large cave located at the foot of Doi Luang. The peak is approximately 2,180 meters high. Doi Chiang Dao was formed from limestone formations. In front of the cave, water flows from inside the cave to the front of the cave. The water that comes out is emerald green, so clear that you can see the fish. Just reaching the entrance to the cave, you can feel the wonder. There are several cave trails as follows: The first trail is Tham Phra Non, which is 360 m long. The second trail is Tham Kaew, Tham Nam, which is 734 m long. The third trail is Tham Mued, Tham Ma, which is 735 m long.

This is a very beautiful temple and it wasn't on the itinerary, but I was very impressed by the beauty of nature. There is a pond and a stream flowing from the mountain next to the temple. The atmosphere is shady and cool. Even when I went during the rainy season, the water was still clear blue and I could see the koi fish. It was so beautiful. Anyone who has the opportunity to visit Doi Luang Chiang Dao should stop by to pay homage to the sacred object and see this nature. The maintenance fee is 20 baht. The temple is on the way to Ban Rabiang Dao, not far from the point where tourists like to take pictures on the road. #ChiangMaiTravel #TripFreeAccommodation #ChiangDaoTravel #DoiLuangChiangDao #WatThamChiangDao
