Wat Phra That Doi Kham

Short, beautiful hike with an impressive temple at the top! We are traveling in May so it was HOT and fair warning that the temple is extra hot. Not a ton of shade, and the sun bakes the white tiles which reflect back to you. Definitely be prepared with water, electrolytes, sunscreen, and a hat. A portable fan wouldn’t hurt either. If you want to hike to the top, you have to get dropped off at the parking lot/market across from Cup Fine Day. Keep in mind that it is more than just the dragon stair case you’ll have to climb. There’s about 300 steps through the forest and the staircase itself is about 180. There’s a sign that says it’s 1.5 kilometers, but that seemed like too much. It’s really quite short, but it’s steep. If you’re not up for the hike but still want to take the dragon stairs, you’ll have to get dropped off at the top of the temple and then walk down the stairs to walk up them. There’s not car drop-off zone at the bottom of the staircase. If you can, we definitely recommend the whole hike :) the forest is beautiful and you’ll see some cool animals. We saw a peacock!!

Very beautiful Wat. It was a very hot day so we drove up. They have some very impressive statues. There are side shops that sell some things. Bathrooms are traditional no paper down the toilet type and were fairly clean when I used them.

Might be the second most popular temple in CM after Wat Para that doi suthep. Poeple often called this temple ''the jasmine pagoda'', and you can see a street full of vendors selling jasmine flowers to offer to Buddha. People believe their prayers are mostly answered at this temple. Apart from religious view, the Viewpoint on the temple is stunning and there are many photo booths made for visitors.

We didn’t hike, we parked our car in the parking lot which I think was free, along with (most I’m guessing) of the temple. Nice viewpoint and nice temple, busy but very few tourists

Great temple to visit. There's also a nice view to see from higher mountain. Many people coming to send offerings.

It started raining after I came out from praying that day. I sat and waited for the rain to stop. The sound of wind chimes was very soothing.🙏

Scenic view but too hot at there .And not allowed to wear the short sleeve and short skirt/pants inside the temple but they put some sarong at the entrance.

Very special place with scenic view of Chiang Mai Hang Dong area. Parking on top, the road is steep. Note that hard to get taxi by app downstairs, you'll probably need to use the local red taxi for that. There are many shops and places to buy food on top. The walk up the stairs is 1.5km, wear long pants and good walking shoes, mosquito repellent is needed, there is parking, shops and toilets downstairs.
