About this activity
Visit the most sacred temple in the north of Thailand, the Wat Prathat Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai. Tucked away in the mountains at an elevation of 3520 feet (1,056 meters) the wat itself is reached via a strenuous, 306-step staircase flanked by mosaic 7 headed naga (serpents)
To make the journey is intended to display devotion and worthiness to Buddha.
A spectacular example of northern Thai architecture and the exhilarating view of Chiang Mai and surrounding countryside, makes the climb well worth the effort.
Your next stop will take you back down to the city's center to visit some of the other impressive temples. Wat Suan Dok, dating back to the 14th century, once served as the pleasure gardens to the Thai monarchy. Nowadays it houses several white Chedi’s, containing the ashes of Chiang Mai’s former Royal family.
This temple also houses one of the most famous Monk Schools in the whole of Chiang Mai and the Wat Jedyod, also known as The Temple of Seven Spires.

Was an awesome tour. The Doi Suthep is an amazing temple in the mountain and a must see. You cant really say you have been to Chiang Mai unless you visit Doi Suthap. Highly recommend. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Private tour was great. Guide was knowledgeable and very accomodating.
Excellent tour and tour guide. Very insightful and gave a great understanding of the temples and the religion behind them.
