The Northern Stupa of Wat Chedi Luang is said to be very old, although the exact date of its construction is unknown. It is a square-shape stupa with a three-dentate body and two-dentate lotus-shape base.

The middle part of the Northern Stupa is covered with gilded metal plates while its pinnacle and parasol are made of brass and also gilded. The northern stupa of Wat Chedi Luang is 13.43 meters tall and measures 6.55 meters wide at the base. It was restored in 1993. Northern Stupa of Chiang Mai (24 October 2006)

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
