Located just 6 kilometers from Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep Mountain offers a peaceful escape filled with cultural depth and scenic beauty. One of its most iconic landmarks is Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, also known as the Shuanglong Temple. Built in 1383 during the Lanna Dynasty, the temple sits high on the hillside and is known for its colorful twin dragon staircases and detailed carvings. Inside, you’ll find sacred Buddha statues—including a meditation statue brought from Ceylon over 700 years ago—and rows of hanging bronze bells that visitors gently strike for blessings.
The journey continues with a visit to Chiang Mai University (CMU), a leading public university nestled at the base of Doi Suthep. You can hop on a sightseeing tram that takes you through the campus, passing tranquil Ang Kaew Lake. It’s a great spot to stretch your legs, snap some photos, and enjoy a different side of Chiang Mai's local life and natural charm. Don't miss the chance to experience the rich culture and serene beauty of Chiang Mai—book your spot now for a day full of meaningful memories!
