Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is one of the north’s most sacred temples in Thailand, located near the summit of Mount Doi Suthep, 6km northwest of Chiang Mai. A staircase of 300 steps leads to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep at the end of the winding road up the mountain. It also provides tram from parking lot to the temple grounds.
