Inform the driver you want to go to 'Wat Hua Khuang' or show them the address (175 Prapokkloa Rd). The fare is typically around 20-30 THB per person. Once you arrive in the Old City, walk a few minutes to the temple, which will be on Prapokkloa Road.

  Taxis are widely available in Chiang Mai. You can either hail one on the street or use a ride-hailing app like Grab. Provide the address '175 Prapokkloa Rd, Tambon Si Phum' to the driver. The fare will depend on your starting location but expect it to be around 100-150 THB from the city center. Taxis will drop you off right at the temple entrance.
