And as you make your way down the south side of the Chedi to the East you come back round to the main Temple.

Wat Chedi Luang.

Wat Chedi Luang.

This impressive building was near derelict 12 months ago, but now restoration work is very near finished and it stands as a testament to retention of the skills of the Artisans in Thailand.

View from The Brick Road Cafe Guesthouse

Having been pretty full on with the Cafe/guesthouse for over a year now, it is now at the point where the need for me to be present all the time is much reduced. But if not the restaurant then what to keep me busy here in Chiang Mai.

Well, I tell everyone else to go see a Temple. So that’s just what I will be doing over the next few weeks.

Look out for The Brick Road Cafe Temple Tour pages, coming soon. In fact the first tour should be posted by the end of the day. Starting with Wat Chedi Luang, the ancient Temple, and Chedi, behind our guesthouse, I intend to visit every Temple within The Old City, Chiang Mai.

As and when I have visited a new Wat, I will post a photo tour of each one, so that those of you with limited time here may find it easier to find those that best suit your taste.
