If you're looking for the biggest chedi (stupa) in Chiang Mai, head over to the centrally located Wat Chedi Luang.
What you see today is only about half the size of what was once originally constructed in the 15th century. An earthquake in 1545 heavily damaged the chedi and it's only been partially restored. At about 30 meters tall, it's still a commanding presence.
Behold the big chedi!
Multiple Buddhas are hanging out at the stupa. Elsewhere at the complex, a wax monk.
More monks, a whole bronze army to infinity.
A shy little grey elephant. Gold leaf Buddha head.
One more Buddha, enjoying the lovely, intricate cover up.
