[2025 Chiang Dao Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Tham Chiang Dao (Updated May)

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

#LongHolidayTravelPlan A trip to Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province is another impressive trip. It's unbelievable that a simple place can make people happy. I want to go every year. So I'm sharing this trip as a good memory. 🌼 Before going up to Chiang Dao, we went to Doi Inthanon and then continued to Chiang Dao District. So I'll start at Chiang Dao. 📍TATA CAFE, a cafe in a teak forest, is located before going up to Ban Na Lao Mai. When you enter, it's like you'll forget to breathe. The view is very beautiful. You can see Doi Luang Chiang Dao and the clear sky. But you can only enjoy it for a moment. Otherwise, you'll reach the mountain too late. 📍Ban Na Lao Mai, a village where you can see Doi Luang Chiang Dao within reach. The village is located high up, so it's like you're at the same level as Doi Luang Chiang Dao. No matter where you walk, the view is very beautiful. 📍Lisu Cafe, a popular cafe in Ban Na Lao Mai. The view is amazing. Sit and watch the afternoon light. Take beautiful pictures. 📍Ban Doi Kiang Dao, the accommodation for tonight. Sleep and watch the view in front of the tent. Don't want to go anywhere 📍Wat Tham Chiang Dao Come down from the mountain and stop by Wat Tham Chiang Dao. Walk around the temple and see the beautiful caves. The atmosphere inside the temple is very good. The air is cool and comfortable. 📍Khao Sen Restaurant Come out of the cave and walk to the front of the temple. There is a cute restaurant. Eat Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao to gain energy before going on. 📍25-spire pagoda After eating, walk to see the 25-spire pagoda. See the ancient pagoda, beautiful art. 🙏Wat Uttaram-Wang Chom On the way back, stop by to see the temple in Chiang Dao District. Beautiful in the Lanna style. 👌👌End the trip with great impressions.👌👌

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

#Chiang Mai Travel The 25-spire pagoda is located in front of Wat Tham Chiang Dao, Tambon Chieng Dao, Amphoe Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai Province. It is one of the ancient sites in Chiang Dao District that is very old. According to history, the pagoda was built in 1913 by the Shan people from Lai Kha, Shan State, northern Burma. It is a pagoda on a square base with a large pagoda in the center and smaller pagodas surrounding it at a gradual level. The tops of each pagoda are decorated with gold and the shape of the pagoda looks very beautiful. I recommend you to come and see it.

A free hot spring at the foot of Chiang Dao, the third highest mountain in Thailand. It's not clean. The hot water is hot, and farangs were warming their bodies after playing in the river. There are no showers or places to change clothes, so be prepared before you go. There is also a temple (Wat Tham Chiang Dao) nearby that enshrines the cave, but you can only enter the cave until 5pm. I chartered a car in the afternoon and it took about an hour and a half from the city. I recommend going in the morning.

Chiang Dao Cave Noodle Restaurant is a must-visit when you come to Chiang Dao. The Khao Soi here is made with fresh coconut milk, giving it a fragrant and rich flavor that is absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers both Northern Thai cuisine and dishes like papaya salad with grilled chicken. If you're coming with family, they also have set meals available. Prices start at 50 baht. They offer both food and fresh coffee, making it a one-stop shop for all your needs. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎄🎄🎄🍁🍁📍Address: Chiang Dao Cave Noodle Restaurant

#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
