the wall around the city

Posted on Sunday, September 20th, 2009

there’s an ancient wall and defensive mote that encloses old chiang mai in a square. the wall was built (i think) by 1800. there’s one gate each for all the sides except the south, which has two gates. each side of the wall is about 1.5 km (just under a mile) long. our apartment is in the north-eastern corner.

here’s the wall shrine located at the north-western corner:
