Wat Chedi Luang if you want scale — massive ruined chedi, city pillar shrine, monk chat nearby at Suan Dok another day. Wat Phra Singh if you want polished Lanna art — golden hall, smaller, central Old City. Chedi Luang 40 baht foreigners, Phra Singh 50 baht. Do Chedi Luang late afternoon light on ruins; Phra Singh morning fewer tour groups. Pair Chedi Luang with Sunday Walking Street same block.

Chedi Luang City Pillar shrine — quiet corner locals pray, tourists miss it.

Phra Singh dress stricter — they lend sarongs at gate.
