Breakfast at the hotel. Meet your English speaking guide at the hotel. Take local truck to explore the old city of Chiang Mai where the old walls are still mostly intact. Continue by walk to visit the Chiang Mai City Center, charming temples, Wat Phra Sing is perhaps the largest and most interesting, although it may not seem so at first glance. Across the lot is a large prayer hall with an intricately carved front. Wat Chedi Luang must have been the most impressive temple in Chiang Mai, built about 600 years ago, the huge chedi which gave the temple its name. Proceed by Tuk Tuk to visit the largest central market, Worarot Market, alive with its daily hustle and bustle. Exotic fresh fruits, preserved food, local delicacies, clothes galore, flowers and other knickknacks, all at reasonable prices. Afternoon continue to visit Wat Prathat Doi Suthep which is a highly revered temple, containing a holy relic of the Lord Buddha.
