Stairway to heaven

Doi Suthep is without doubt the most spectacular temple in Chiang Mai. An exhilarating 45 minute Scooter ride from the old city, it is worth it for the ride alone with its many twists and turns whilst climbing the mountain on your way up to the temple. Next you will be faced with the choice of an elevator ride or a 309 step climb up the never ending staircase to the summit of the mountain and the location of the temple itself. You will not be disappointed which ever way you get up there. With its golden chedi, jade Buddah statue and the chanting monks the is plenty to experience and did I mention the views over the city? We visited here for sunset which gives another dimension to what is already an amazing experience. You won't be disappointed!!
