The official name of this temple is Wat Prathat Doi Suthep. This is the most sacred and beautiful temple in Northern Thailand. On clear days there are spectacular views of Chiang Mai city and beyond.
If you only have time to visit one attraction in Chiang Mai, this is it!
If you have the time and energy, walking up the temple steps is a great cardio workout. A more popular option is to take the cable-car to the top and walk back down.
You may like to time your visit to coincide with the monks chanting at sunset.
It is required to cover knees and shoulders at this temple by custom and law – sarongs are available for rent at the temple.
