- Wat Chedi Luang Worawihan is a royal temple in Chiang Mai Province. It has been known by various names, including Ratchakutakhan and Wat Chotikaram. It was built during the reign of King Saen Mueang Ma, Rama VII of the Mangrai Dynasty. The exact date of construction is unknown, but it is assumed to have been built between 1928 and 1945 CE. It has undergone numerous renovations and was once home to the Emerald Buddha during the reign of King Kaew.
- Phra That Chedi Luang, measuring 60 meters on each side, is another significant chedi in Chiang Mai Province. Today, only half of the chedi remains. Due to the major earthquake during the reign of Queen Chiraprabha Devi, Rama XV of the Mangrai Dynasty, it is estimated that the chedi could have reached a height of 80 meters, making it the tallest chedi in northern Thailand at that time.
