Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Doi Suthep

Very cool but also very crowded. Everyone is taking bowing pics which I thought was a little macabre but whatever. If you want to do the hike its about 2 hours and pretty difficult and steep so prepare accordingly. Bring water and bug spray and proper shoes! I don't really recommend it it's kind of a boring hike without many if any view points. I would recommend taking a taxi or driver to the top doing a little shopping and taxing back. Try to smoothies they are amazing! I got a strawberry, banana, avocado - they will let you mix and match. When you go into the Temple you need to wear clothes that cover your knees and shoulders. If you want to you can buy the cool elephant pants and shirts at one of the shops right outside. Enjoy!

This was a wonderful visit. The temple is beautiful and I spoke to a few of the Monk's and they were very friendly and we're very happy to talk. We received a wonderful blessing work water and prayer. It was very nice.

This is my third time visit in 10 years however now the visitors have now tripled or more than each time my visit. Really wonderful yo be on the top of mountain and lovely weather. Highly recommended if you are in Chiang Mai. Foreigners entry is 30 baht per person and elevator is 20 per pax. We make sure to pay even we speak Thai and are Asian. Will come again.

Proper temple. Short uphill drive from city. Car park is down on the left side near to the temple gate. Walked up a few flights of stairs with array of vendors selling clothes and foods to get to the temple gate from carparks. Tickets for cable car and temple entry can be bought at the ticket station after the gate. Short cable car ride and reached to one magnificent temple and its surrounding. It's accessible by wheelchair. Recommend to visit the viewpoint when almost reaching to the temple, it has great food stalls (grills, avocado milk and strawberries). And the view point towering the whole city. Most group just rushed to the temple or back to city but we had a good meal there.

Take a red pickup to the top. It's worth a visit. You have to walk up a ton of steps you get to the temple, but there's an amazing view of Chiang Mai inside. The temple is beautiful. Tons of shops around. Give yourself about 45 minutes to take a few pics and check everything out. If you're looking for the perfect picture, give yourself more time. There are tons of little shops outside as well. You can grab a coffee or shake, or peruse the shops after.
