Historical morning out to the old city - Mr Boy picked us up at the hotel lobby on time. A very good start of our trip. MHe was also very helpful in explaining the history of every temples we visited. The old city is beautiful spot to visit and some beautiful pics were taken. A very organised trip by this agent.

An amazing ancient city - If you appreciate history this is worth a trip from Chiang Mai to see Wiang Kum Kam. You can see very old temples and ruins from a former capital. Many of the temple ruins visible now were not excavated from the river bottom until the 1980s. I learned this from the I Asia Thailand guide who was in my opinion the best part of the tour!

Better things to see closer to home (hotel) in the old city in Chang Mai -   Our tour guide described Wiang Kum Kam as an underground city!  An underground city conjures up images of Atlantis, perhaps the cave dwelling Troglodytes of France and Turkey or Coober Pedy in South Australia, with its underground homes, churches and hotel. If this is the image you have, you are probably going to be disappointed as the only underground aspect of this Ancient city is the earth from which it was excavated. There are few old ruIns, walls and temple structures but not much to inspire the imagination. The more contemporary temples in the village are interesting but as there are temples everywhere in Thailand there is no need to spend 30 minutes travelling to this ancient city to see them. In retrospective, you can probably find more interesting things to do closer to your home (hotel) base.
