Chiang Mai Small-Group 3-Temple Guided Tour by Red Truck

Explore three Chiang Mai temple hidden gems in a small-group guided tour by signature Chiang Mai red car (songthaew).

Getting started

Join your small group at the designated meeting point and meet your expert English-speaking guide. After a short introduction, board the signature Chiang Mai red car (songthaew) that will take you between the three temple stops. Your guide explains the plan for visiting the Mahabodhi-style pagoda, royal mausoleums with the Golden Stupa, and the Wat Umong tunnels.

What to expect

Mahabodhi-style pagoda

This 15th-century Mahabodhi-style pagoda is your introduction to Chiang Mai’s quieter temple side.

Features

• You see intricate angel stuccos decorating the pagoda, a detail your guide highlights to explain local craftsmanship and religious symbolism.
• An expert English-speaking guide is with you here, offering context and answering questions throughout the stop.
• Drinking water is provided so you can focus on exploring the Mahabodhi-style pagoda comfortably, backed by insurance included for the whole experience.

Royal mausoleums and Golden Stupa

The route continues by songthaew to a complex of gleaming white royal mausoleums and an iconic Golden Stupa.

Features

• From the royal mausoleums and Golden Stupa, you enjoy clear views of Doi Suthep while learning how this area connects to Chiang Mai’s royal history.

Wat Umong tunnels

The final stop is Wat Umong, a forest monastery famous for its 700-year-old underground tunnels.

Features

• You walk through the Wat Umong tunnels hidden beneath the trees, experiencing how monks once used these passageways for meditation and reflection.
