Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

I love🤩😍😍🥲🤩❣️💖💝💓💓💕💗 so much. Doi Suthep is a mountain in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the name of the sacred Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Buddhist temple located on its summit. Founded in 1383, the temple is one of northern Thailand's most important and revered religious sites, known for its golden chedi, impressive views of Chiang Mai city, and a 306-step staircase leading to its entrance. Visitors can either climb the steps or take a cable car, and the temple is open to visitors who dress respectfully, covering their shoulders and knees. As a buddist, must offer a prayer in the holy temple. There is a script readable been offered. There is NO charges using these script. A generous donation is welcome. You may offer flowers too. Slowly explore the entire temple and i found many view point which is fantastic. I took a lot picture. If the timing is correct, you can see flight departure from airport. Is a MUST visited places in chiang mai. The view is spectacular from mountains top to see the city.

Recently, I had the chance to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, and it was truly a memorable experience. The temple is incredibly beautiful, with stunning architecture, peaceful surroundings, and a breathtaking view of Chiang Mai from the top. The atmosphere is calm and spiritual, making it a perfect place for reflection and relaxation. The climb up the stairs is worth every step once you reach the golden stupa glowing in the sunlight. The entire area is well-maintained, and the cultural significance of the temple makes the visit even more special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Chiang Mai — a must-see landmark that captures the beauty and spirit of Thailand.

What a wonderful temple! Going up the steps is a nice little workout. Foreigners pay 30 THB for entrance. Dress conservatively. Skirt rental available. There is an opportunity to circle the stupa three times and make flower and candle offerings. Chanting optional. Lots of shops and restaurants at the base. If you’re going to eat I’d plan on 2 hours. We took a red truck taxis up and back. There were lots of people hiking the mountain although you need to be careful of traffic as there is no dedicated hiking path.

Went to see the temple an the city view during sunset and it was a good choice. Weather was cold and nice during this month (November). Suggest get a bike. We took a 110cc bike and it was sufficient for 2. The view of the temple was beautiful. Wear modesty (unfortunately some tourists of certain region dont understand this and want to “show” their assets at a wrong place🤷🏻‍♂️. The sunset view can be blocked by a mountain if you are there late. Try going down a little where you can see the whole city view beautifully. The temple entrance is 30THB and worth it all. Get ready for a nice and easy hike for the steps and good view.

Beautiful temple complex. You’ll need to climb up some steps but it isn’t too arduous of a journey up. Be prepared with an umbrella and good shoes that add the ground can be slippery if it’s been raining. The weather is cool up top so have a light rain jacket. You will have to take off your shoes to go inside the inner temple area but there is a place to store your shoes, I would just recommend bringing a small towel to wipe off your feet once you’re done. The view from the top is amazing as you can see the city. When we got there, the clouds were low and visibility was poor but it cleared up within 20-30 minutes while we explored the complex. So many aspects of this place are highly detailed with rich history. Would definitely recommend checking out! Note: if you have a tendency for carsicknesses, would recommend having something to take just in case on the way up and down as the roads are very winding but the drive isn’t too long.

Wat Suthep is a stunning temple in Chiang Mai with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful golden stupa. The climb up the staircase with the Naga railing is memorable, and the views of the city from the top are breathtaking. A must-visit place.

You can take Red Songthaew from Old City with THB 360 (Grab price) which will be cheap for a group. This is a must must must-visit place in Chiang Mai because it has an amazing view over the city from the mountain. In the morning you can enjoy the silent/fresh atmosphere with clouds handing below your eyes (there are multiple spots for enjoying the cloud). There is even a coffee shop inside the temple area from which you can enjoy hot coffee in morning forest fog (sometimes raining). There are also a big golden Chedi in the middle. Too many things to see and feel. Cannot miss this place. Please visit this temple in the early morning (beautifully at 6:00am).

We rented a motorbike and had a ball on the ride up. Climbing the stairs is challenging but take your time. Coming down be careful. Make sure as a visitor you pay to enter. We got a blessing from the monk. Beautiful views, amazing temple, well worth the stairs.
