Day 01

Doi Suthep

Doi Suthep Temple nicknamed after its mountain home is known for its spectacular views. While the 306-staircase may seem daunting for some travelers, the unrivaled view at the top is well worth the exercise. See the Doi Suthep sunrise light up the sky with a rainbow of golden hues as you document this experience in Chiang Mai with a few photos.

Kruba Srivichai Monument

After the Doi Suthep Sunrise Tour, we’ll visit the large golden Kruba Srivichai Monument, named after the Thai Buddhist monk (who was also an engineer) who built many temples and roads during the late 80s and early 90s.

Wat Pha Lat

We’ll head to Wat Pha Lat, a hidden temple where we’ll take in the lush jungles and serene statues and shrines.

Wat Umong

We’ll wrap up our half day morning tour with a stop at Wat U-Mong next, a 700-year old temple built back in 1297. Explore the underground tunnels, forest surroundings and marvel at the magnificent chedi. Finally, we’ll drop you off at your accommodation or the meeting point to finish a day well spent.
