Wat Ku Tao

Wat Ku Tao is a temple north of Chiang Mai’s old city. Its distinctive stupa gives the site a clear architectural focus for a short north-city detour.

Why go

The unusual form of Wat Ku Tao’s stupa is the main reason to visit. It offers a different silhouette from many of the better-known temples within the old-city moat. Follow the shape of its tiers as you walk around the compound, then continue through the north-city area rather than retracing a central temple route.

What to look for

  • Tiered form of the temple stupa

Useful to know

  • Pair this north-city stop with Wat Chiang Yuen if exploring beyond the moat.
