Half-day Excursion
Half-day trip to the nearby Phra That Doi Suthep temple followed by a visit to the Chiang Mai City Arts and Cultural Center museum. The excursion is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
Excerpts from TourismThailand.org
"Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is the most important temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Built in the early 19th Buddhist century, the beauty of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is marked by seven-headed serpent statues that line the stairs to the temple where a Chiang Saen style golden pagoda and all its exquisite Lanna architecture is situated. The view of Chiang Mai from here is just phenomenal as well.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is located in Tambon Suthep, Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Mai Province. Doi Suthep Hill is 14 kilometers away from the center of Chiang Mai."
- Chiang Mai City Arts and Cultural Center museum
"Located on Prapoklao Road, Chiang Mai City Arts and Cultural Center stands on the location of the former royal hall. Built in 1924 with elegant architectural design, the building was first used as the central administrative offices of Monthon Phayap, later as the Provincial Hall of Chiang Mai until the municipality renovated it for the cultural center in 1997. The restoration of the center has earned the municipality the award from the Royal Society of Siamese Architects in 1999. The center is created to promote the understanding of Chiang Mai’s roots, a sense of pride in local identity, and to preserve the beauty of local culture"
Workshop Banquet
The banquet is scheduled right after the excursion. The place is still TBD.
Both events are provided free of charge. Please indicate whether you wish to join the social events during the registration.
