Car
If you're traveling by car, start your journey in central Chiang Mai. Head south on Ratchapakhinai Road (Route 1141) and continue straight for about 1.5 kilometers.

Confirm with the driver that they will stop near Wat Duang Dee. The fare is typically around 20-30 THB per person. Once you arrive, the temple will be a short walk from the main road.
Public Transportation - Tuk-Tuk
You can also hire a tuk-tuk from any point in Chiang Mai. Negotiate the fare beforehand; it typically costs around 100-150 THB for a ride to Wat Duang Dee from the city center. The driver will take you directly to the temple, making it a convenient option if you're traveling with luggage or in a group.
