18 Minutes at Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong | Hilltop Temple Walk, Chiang Rai, Thailand

A slow late-afternoon visit to Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong, a temple on a small hill in Chiang Rai town. A short ride up through quiet lanes, the golden chedi, the main hall, a small viewpoint with a row of bells, shrines under big trees, the Navel City Pillar of Chiang Rai, and a ride back down. Where this is: Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong, Mueang Chiang Rai, Chiang Rai, Thailand https://maps.app.goo.gl/MffdagQs86eCA... The round terraces with rings of posts are the Navel City Pillar (Sadue Mueang) of Chiang Rai. It stands on the temple grounds. I came here right after Day 1 of Saneh Thai @ Chiang Rai, the same afternoon.
