Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Doi Suthep 50200 Thailand

One of the highlights is a visit to the 600 year-old temple of Wat Pra That Doi Suthep, near the summit of Doi Suthep Mountain. After a drive up the mountain’s winding road, the final climb to the site is via a magnificent Naga (dragon-headed serpent) staircase of 306 steps. Inside is an intriguing copper-plated Chedi topped by a five-tier gold umbrella which contains partial relics of Lord Buddha. On a clear day, there are incomparable views over the city of Chiang Mai.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Wat Phra That Chedi Luang, Phaholyothin Road next to the Chiang Saen Museum, Chiang Saen Thailand

The Wat Chedi Luang is one of these you cannot skip; once the home of the famous Emerald Buddha it has become of the more revered temples in Chiang Mai. This temple once had the tallest Chedi (temple spire) until an earthquake in the 15th century toppled the upper section. Today, it towers 60 meter high.

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

Stop At: Wat Phra Singh, Singharat Road Phra Sing Subdistrict, Chiang Mai Thailand

Finally, we end our half day tour at the Wat Phra Singh, housing a very sacred 1,500 year old Buddha image. Wat Pra Singh or Monastery of the Lion Lord, founded in the 14th century to house the ashes of King Kham Fu and serve as the principal religious center of the Lanna Kingdom. The complex is composed of several buildings of varying architectural and artistic merit that form the most famous temple in Chiang Mai. Return back to your downtown Chiang Mai hotel.

We were the only 2 on this tour which made for a very personal service. The guide was very careful to take us round at our own pace and we were never rushed. He had an amazing knowledge of local history and that of Buddhist culture. His English was very good and easy to understand.
