Wat Phra Doi Suthep Temple, Chiang Mai
A Nun with Lotus flowers at Wat Doi Suthep
The Phra Doi Suthep Temple on the high mountain near Chiang Mai is one of the holiest one in northern Thailand. 1383 the Wat Doi Suthep is build during the reign of King Keu Naone. The present temple complex is from the 16th century and was restoring many times later. On the food of the 306 steps to the holy Buddhist temple on the Doi Suthep Mountain is a parking place and many shops who sell drinks, souvenirs and food. If don’t can handle the steps to the Wat Phra Suthep than you can use the free cable car to the top. The Forrest temple is a really beauties one, many tourists and of course believer from many parts of Thailand come here to visit the holy Buddha images and to enjoy the great view over Chiang Mai City. This day trip to Doi Suthep is one of my favorites and I really can recommend this trip for all tourists and backpackers who are interested in Thai culture and Buddhist Temples here in northern Thailand.
