About Old City
The Old City is the historic core of Chiang Mai, defined by its nearly square moat and remnants of ancient brick walls. Founded in 1296 by King Mangrai, this area contains over 30 temples—including the revered Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh. The compact grid of narrow lanes holds guesthouses, cafes, and artisan shops.
Street life centers around Tha Pae Gate on the east side, a primary entry point and transport hub. The Sunday Walking Street Market fills Ratchadamnoen Road from Tha Pae Gate to Wat Phra Singh. The district is approximately 1.6 square kilometers, making it easily walkable.
