Sak Yant Chiang Mai | Real Bamboo Tattoo
Tattoo shop

She spoke with me about the tattoos, the ritual, and the entire experience overall. And then we drove about 20 minutes away to the Ajarn's house, wai'd to the ajarn and we talk...

Wat Luang Khun Win
Buddhist temple
👍👍 The way up is so adventurous (around 1 hr in small, bumpy road up the hill). Small sedan/eco car can still make it though. Be cautious if you would like to go during rainy season. Roads up would definitely be muddy making it more difficult.
The temples up there are beautiful. Serene and peaceful en...

Wat Aranyawiwek
Buddhist temple
👍👍 Very extensive grounds but humbly appointed forest temple of the highly revered luangpu plian. It was the 50th day of his passing and there was a very large gathering of people here to pay their respect. You can feel the peace and purity of the grounds for meditative pursuits.

Wat Intharawat (Wat Ton Kwen)

👍👍 Located 30 mins from the city center, this exquisite classic Lanna style temple is hidden silently behind the main road.
This is not a large temple, but with its tiny, every elements sit perfectly on their own place. Also the surrounded palm trees bring back the picture of living in the past.

I've noticed many established "popular" wats charge entrance fees and are bustle with tourists buses rendering the wats into businesses rather cultural relics or se...
