Attraction Details :
Perhaps the most
famous and important temple in Chiang Mai every visitor must pay a
visit. On top of Doi Suthep Hill, at 3,520 feet above sea level, finds
the revered golden Phra That (chedi) of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep rises
against the sunlight. The temple was built in 1383 to enshrine Buddha’s
relics. You can actually drive uphill to the higher platform but a lot
of devout Buddhists choose to pilgrim by walking 290 steps up to the
hilltop. After praying the Phra That for good lucks, don not forget to
proceed to the terrace to soak up panoramic views of Chiang Mai town and
surrounding countrysides.Opening hours: 6.00 am - 5.00 pm
