Wat Chedi Luang means the Temple of the Great Chedi. Construction of the great chedi began in 1391 and was completed in the 1470s. The height of the original chedi is variously estimated to have been 82 to 85 metres. For a period from 1468 to 1551 the famous Emerald Buddha (now located in Bangkok in the grounds of the Grand Palace) was installed in one of the four upper niches of the chedi. Unfortunately, a large part of the chedi fell down after an earthquake in 1545 and the structure has only been partially restored."}, {"text_idx": "#000120", "text": "Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai"}, {"text_idx": "#000121", "text": "As well as the chedi, there are lots of other points of interest at the temple. Chiang Mai\u2019s city pillar shrine is located near the front entrance to the temple. Behind the city pillar shrine is a very large and ornately decorated assembly hall containing the Phra Chao Attarot, which is a beautiful statue of the Lord Buddha cast in the 14th Century. Wat Chedi Luang is an amalgamation of three temples and occupies a large area. There are lots of other temple buildings and shrines to explore at the same time. Wat Chedi Luang also offers free \u2018monk chats\u2019 during which you can go to talk to a monk in English about any subject of your choice, although it makes sense to discuss the temple, Buddhism or Thailand."}]
