About Wat Lok Molee
A quieter find just outside the north moat, with a teak viharn and a weathered brick chedi that holds royal Lanna ashes. It doesn't get the crowds that the bigger Old City temples do, which is part of what makes it a nice stop if you've already hit the main sights.
Entry is free, and it's an easy walk or short ride from most of the Old City. Late afternoon light works especially well on the aged brick of the chedi.
Not a must-see on its own, but a solid addition if you're in the area and want something calmer.
