Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is Chiang Mai’s most celebrated temple, perched atop Doi Suthep mountain about 15 km from the city. Founded in 1383, it’s known for its golden chedi, sacred Buddha relic, panoramic city views, and rich Lanna architecture. The temple is a major pilgrimage site and a symbol of Chiang Mai.

• Dress respectfully: cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering temple areas.
• Visit early or at sunset for fewer crowds and magical lighting.
• Bring small change for entrance (around 30–50 baht).
