Program &
Itinerary :
Take a trip to visit the northern Thailand's
most popular landmark, Doi Suthep, where
the fresh air and local culture can be
enjoyed on a half-day outing. Wat Phrathat
Doi Suthep is 15 kms far from Chiang Mai
city at 3,500 feet above sea level situated
on the summit of Doi Suthep. See the marvelous
golden pagoda which was originally built
in 1383, and which is containing the holy
relics of Lord Buddha. You
can enjoy the panoramic view of Chiang
Mai City and Ping valley from the summit
of Doi Suthep. Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep
is approached on foot by climbing a steep
290 stairway flanked by tremendous mythical
Nagas, which symbolize humanity's progress
from earth into nirvana. However, for
the less energetic, taking a cable-car
would be an easier and faster way to reach
Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.
