Top 5 Historical Sites

Picture
There are three main sites worth visiting:
Picture

Wiag Kum Kam

Wiang Kum Kam is an historic settlement and archaeological site along the Ping River, which was built by King Mangrai the Great as his capital before he moved it to Chiang Mai. It was flooded and abandoned more than 700 years ago; that move became more understandable in 2005, when the ancient city was flooded three separate times as the river overflowed its banks in that area of Chiang Mai.

City Walls and Moat

In 1296AD, King Mengrai, the first Thai King, dug the moat around 4 sides of the city. He also made the hill along the moat. In the 14th century the fortifications were completed. Much of the wall is still visible and fountains are placed in the moat making a lovely waterside promenade.
