An old structure on the corner of our street in Chiang Mai. A chedi could be a number of different things. Usually they are built around a relic of, either Buddha himself (as legends say), or another, very holy and significant person. Typically housed inside a monastic complex, it is common to find very old Chedis scattered amongst modern buildings and neighborhoods in many towns in Thailand.
