Wat Chedi Luang
Phrapokklao Road within the old city, Intersection of Rajmankha Road, Chiang Mai, ThailandTel: +66 53 248 604 (Tourist Authority of Thailand)
This is a beautiful temple with an interesting history. In the 16th century, an earthquake partially destroyed the chedi (spire) at the top. It was partially reconstructed in 1992, but ever since only the 60-meter-high foundation remains. For 84 years, it housed the famous Emerald Buddha that now stands in Wat Prakaew in Bangkok. Rumors say it was here that King Mengrai, a former ruler of the north, was struck by lightning. Although the wat was recently cleaned and preserving agents were added to maintain its appearance, some parts are still in ruins.
