Walk around the Chiang Mai City Pillar at Wat Chedi Luang.

The city pillar (Lak Mueang) was moved to this location in 1800 by King Chao Kawila, it was originally located in Wat Sadeu Muang.

Why Can't Women Enter Inthakhin Pillar Vihara
Chiang Mai's city pillar is located in Wat Chedi Luang and is now enshrined underground.
It is a sacred place and worshiped by Thai people, especially those from Chiang Mai. It is the pillar of the city.
Women are prohibited to enter because they menstruate. It is believed that it humiliates and ruins the sanctity of the city pillar. Besides, men who dress inappropriately are not allowed to walk in. It is believed that any disobeying of the rules will cause social instability.
