About

Wat Jed Yod is an independent travel guide to Wat Jed Yod (Wat Chet Yot, officially Wat Photharam Maha Wihan), the 15th-century Lanna temple in north-west Chiang Mai, and to the temples and day trips that visitors combine with it: the Old City temples, Doi Suthep and the big temples of Chiang Rai.

How we research

We check facts that change – opening hours, entry fees, festival dates – against current sources before we publish and date them in the text. For this site we used the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT News) for Loy Krathong and Yi Peng 2026, Chiang Mai CityLife for local news such as the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park fees introduced in October 2025, Khaosod English for the White Temple fee change, IQAir for smoke-season air quality, and published histories of Wat Chet Yot, including the Jinakalamali chronicle as summarised in reference works. Temple pages from Thai Holiday Guide, Renown Travel and My Chiang Mai Tour helped us cross-check hours and fees. Tour details and prices come from GetYourGuide listings (snapshot November 2026).

The photos on this site come from GetYourGuide tour listings. Each caption names the place shown; none of them claims to show Wat Jed Yod itself unless it says so.

How the site is funded

When you book a tour through our GetYourGuide links we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. This never decides what we recommend – we tell you when going on your own is the better choice, as it is for Wat Jed Yod. Read our affiliate disclosure.
