119 Chiang Mai (A1-A2) — Thapae Road: A Walking Tour of Old Temples

📍 Chiang Mai.

Before Thapae Road became a night market, it was a teak-trading river port on the Ping. Walk past 500-year-old Wat Muen Larn, a Burmese-style pagoda from 1876, and temple murals showing old-time bicycles and electric lights, all tied to Maung Pan Yo, the teak merchant whose descendants still live in the city.
