I grew up inside the moat. Every month someone messages me the same things β when to come, where to stay, whether March air is really that bad, and if Nimman is worth the hype. This is what I actually tell friends before they land.
Wat Chedi Luang at 8am β before tour groups. The big chedi ruins are impressive and the city pillar shrine is quiet early. Old City has 300+ temples but this one + Wat Chiang Man (oldest) is enough for a morning walk inside the moat.
