If you are traveling by car, start your journey from the center of Chiang Mai. Head southeast on Thapae Road until you reach the intersection with Kaeonawarat Road. Turn left onto Kaeonawarat Road and continue driving for about 1.5 kilometers. Wat Ku Kham will be on your right at 220 Kaeonawarat Rd, Wat Ket. There is parking available nearby, but be mindful of any parking fees that may apply.
Public Transportation (Songthaew)
To reach Wat Ku Kham using public transportation, take a songthaew (red truck) from the center of Chiang Mai. Head to the main songthaew station and catch a songthaew heading towards Wat Ket. The fare is typically around 20-30 THB per person. Inform the driver that you want to go to Wat Ku Kham, and they will drop you off at the nearest stop. From there, it's a short walk to the temple.
Public Transportation (Tuk-Tuk)
For a more direct route, you can hire a tuk-tuk from any location in Chiang Mai. Negotiate the fare before starting the journey; it should cost around 100-150 THB from the city center to Wat Ku Kham. The tuk-tuk will take you directly to the temple at 220 Kaeonawarat Rd, Wat Ket.
