A lot of people there but it’s worth for the great view about the whole city and area around Chiang Mai. Quite a few steps to climb up and a good car is recommended for the way up the mountain.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located on Doi Suthep, Wat Phra That is a famous Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai that was built in 1383. According to the legend, King Nu Naone of Lan Na placed a bone from the Buddha on a white elephant and released it into the jungle. The elephant is said to have climbed Doi Suthep, trumpeted 3 times, and then died, so the king ordered that a temple be built at the site. The 309 steps in front of the temple are guarded by two dragon sculptures, giving the temple its name. You can ascend the steps to the main hall, in whose center a golden stupa honoring the Shakyamuni Buddha is placed. After the tour, you can go to the observation deck behind the main hall to overlook the entire city of Chiang Mai.

The Most Important Temple In Chiang Mai🇹🇭📌Wat Phra That Doi Suthep📌 “Locals would say, You haven't really gone to Chiang Mai unless you've been to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.” - My Local Friend Well.. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is the most important temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Built in the early 19th century, the beauty of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is known for the statue of the seven-headed snake that lines the steps to the temple where the pagoda is (if you take the elevator, you will miss the stairs of this snake statue, unless you go by the elevator and return via the stairs). You need to pay 50 baht for the elevator, 50baht is for roundtrip elevator. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is located in Tambon Suthep, Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Mai Province. Doi Suthep Hill is 11 kilometers from downtown Chiang Mai. And because it is located on a mountain, the road to Doi Suthep is more or less the same as Bedugul Bali, with twists and sharp climbs. Don't forget to wear decent clothes when you come here! #thailand #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #summervacation #bangkoktrip #thailand #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #chiangmai Address - Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai District Ambiance/Facilities - Toilet, View Point, Prayer room Highlights - The Most Important Temple Rating - 4,7/5Mersizi15

Amazing Wat Phra That Doi SuthepWelcome to "Wat Phra That Doi Suthep" Chiang Mai Buddhist Temple! It's on top of a high mountain and the structures are plated in gold. When you are in Chiang Mai, you must go to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple for sunset. From the city, it takes about 40 minutes to the mountain to the temple. You can take the red public taxi that drives all over Chiang Mai to get to the temple cheaply. The temple costs 30 Baht per person and is very beautiful. The view in particular is a dream. In addition, there are many small stalls with food, towels, bags and souvenirs. Definitely worth a visit! Such an amazing attraction to enjoy. aa #bangkoktripVen9317
Wat Phra That Doi SuthepVisited Theravada Buddhist Temple Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai province Thailand. Doi Suthep is actually the mountain where it is located. Arranged a private transport to bring you to the foot of the mountain where you can climb 309 steps to reach the pagodas or take a tram. Decided to take the steps for this trip. This temple is considered one of the most sacred pilgrimage spot in Thailand as there is a relic and the influence from Chiang Mai being the centre of the Alanna Kingdom back in the 14th century. This temple is definitely a must visit if you are in Chiang Mai.YXZKSR12

Wat Phra That Doi sacred temple in Chiang MaiI visited Chiang Mai in September and had to visit this holy temple! Its history dates back to the fourteenth century and features many gold Buddha's. It is also known for its famous 306 step staircase up to the summit, so bring your trainers! At the top you will be rewarded with amazing views over the city of Chiang Mai. As with many Thai landmarks, be aware there is a separate ticket price for foreigners. #thailand #chiangmaiGeo (@geosheng)12

Wat Phra That Doi SuthepVisited Wat Phra That, a Buddhist Temple located in Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Make sure to bring water and stretch first because of the 300+ steps to reach the top of the temple. 😅 There is an option though to take the cable car so you don't have to use all your energy to climb upstairs. The entrance is 50 Baht for foreigners, of course I paid even if the guard thought I am Thai. 😉#thailand #temples #chianmai #asiaLeslie D.5

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep#fallingforfall The trip to Chiang Mai was the first overseas trip of many with my travel buddy. We went around end of the year which coincided the fall season in Chiang Mai Thailand. Thus, the weather was quite cooling as compared to what we imagined. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep was one of the places we visited. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. What was memorable about this place was that you had to climb many steps to reach the temple on top. It was very worthwhile to spend the efforts as the temple was magnificent.

Wat Phra That#passionpassport Love this place and spent over an hour here. Once up at the Temple a sign asks you to purchase an entry ticket, but there's no one staffing the ticket office. Great views over the valley and Chiang Mai, and a lovely Temple with many shrines. Fairly quiet when we were there around 9.30am and nice and cool. Before you get to the Temple there are many stalls selling local crafts and beverages. Lots of spaces available visible enough🤙🏻 Beautiful temple and cultural icon. There’s great QR codes everywhere where you can learn about the temples, history and statue meanings. It’s a bit of a hike up the stairs but it’s only a 5min walk so low to moderate fitness would be ok if you’re ok with stairs. If you have injuries or aren’t adept with a large flight of stairs, there is the chair lift but I didn’t try it so not sure what it’s like. There’s a bathroom located to the right near the chair lifts and again up at the top, both are free. Though take toilet paper, there’s none upon arrival. There are heaps of vendors around but please be respectful of the sacred place, no shoulders, knees or shoes are allowed in the temple and there are more cultural things to be mindful especially in the presence of monks. Plus, don’t ring the bells. All in all, it’s a calm serene place for worship and appreciation. The prices are reasonable, 30B to get in if you’re a foreigner and water is 10B. Anything else there’s plenty of vendors who could use the support post covid. It must’ve been a hard time for them but as always they’re all really sweet and lovely. I’ve been here twice now, the views alone are stunning, would absolutely recommend to come here.Kim-Possible26
Wat Phrathat is also known as Ssangyong Temple. This name references the two dragons are on either sides of its steps. This temple is located at the top of Doi Suthep. The peak is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the atmosphere here is cool and fresh. If you go to this temple, don't wear a low-cut top, and make sure that your bottoms end below your knees. On the way up, you will find the outer temple. The inner temple is also well worth a visit. Behind the main shrine is a viewing platform .Oneonexie.14
Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep was founded in 1383. This legendary temple, with its white elephant shrine, was constructed by the royal household. The stupa in the center is particularly eye-catching. You'll find golden canopies all around, and gilded Buddhist statues in the temple. The temple is said to have been built using 242kg of gold.NBtravel.5

A lot of people there but it’s worth for the great view about the whole city and area around Chiang Mai. Quite a few steps to climb up and a good car is recommended for the way up the mountain.
Amazing temple to visit. Have to climb the stars to reach the temple. For those that are unable to climb, there is a lift to bring you up the temple. Beautiful view from the temple courtyard, able to see Chiang Mai international airport from the temple. There is also a cafe selling hot coffee that’s reasonable priced
Beautiful temple in the mountain! We took a bike and enjoyed the ride up. The view of the city was amazing from the temple.. Had a great time! And on our way back, enjoyed some Pad kra pao at a local restaurant for lunch.
Shuanglong Temple is a famous Buddhist summer resort in Thailand. It is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is a temple built by the white elephant site and royal family. It is full of legendary temples. It is legendary that a Ceylon monk brought several Buddhas to Thailand, one of which was dedicated to the sixth king of Lanna for 13 years. In order to make his people can also serve Buddha, he asked four soldiers to follow his white elephant to find a holy place. The elephant went straight to the present Suthep Mountain, stopped at the tower that he saw now, and the white elephant died. The king built the tower here so that his people could also serve the Sheri of Sakyamuni. And because there were two golden dragons guarding the mountain road, so that it could be called "Shuanglong Temple"
Shuanglong Temple is particularly beautiful and very beautiful. Because of its excellent location, it is located about 15 kilometers southwest of Shijiazhuang City, the capital of Hebei Province. It is above Fenglong Mountain and Fenglong Mountain is 812 meters above sea level. It is majestic. There are many tourists who come here to play. The fresh air here is elegant and the scenery is particularly beautiful. The fun is a super cost-effective punching resort. It is also a good place worth visiting. It is loved and praised by tourists from all over the world!
