The temple is located 15 km from the city of Chiang Mai and is a sacred site to many Thai people. From the temple, impressive views of Chiang Mai can be seen and it remains a popular destination for tourists.

The holiest shrine in northern Thailand, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (also spelled Wat Phratat Doi Suthep) was founded in 1386 under miraculous circumstances. It crowns the Doi Suthep mountain on the western outskirts of Chiang Mai.


Wat Doi Suthep hosts Northern Thailand's largest celebrations of Maha Puja, the anniversary of the Buddha's sermon, and Visakha Puja, the Buddha's birthday. Both are marked with candlelit processions up the mountain to the temple.

From the base of the mountain is a 300-step staircase and a cable car.

Locals and tourists alike come each morning to this novice monk school to give alms. It is a fascinating spectacle and almost impossible not to participate in. Vehicles honk as they drive by, not to annoy, as we westerners might think, but to show their respect.
