What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Doi Suthep 50200 Thailand
For this tour we wake up and leave early in the morning at 05:00 - 05:10 am. and drive up into the mountains to visit the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple ( A Chiang Mai Land-mark.) We highly recommend visiting this famous temple at dawn. The temple is quiet and the monks are just chanting, rousing and going out to receive alms offerings. Without any crowds you can enjoy the magical morning light and incredible views in serenity. It is the beginning to a great and wonderful day.
Doi Suthep temple is located on the peak of the Doi Suthep Mountains and is the most famous landmark in Chiang Mai. They say you have not truly been to Chiang Mai if you have not visited this temple ! At the top of the temple you can view the pagoda shining with real gold, and a viewing platform offers panoramic views of the whole Chiang Mai City – take in the wonderful countryside landscape while the sun rises behind the city and mountains. The morning sky and view could be immortalized in a beautiful painting ! Morning life at the temple is unforgettable -the sound of temple bells, monks chanting and the fascinating view of Chiang Mai will fill your heart. Don’t leave Chiang Mai without this impression.!!!
Before we continue to the other sites, we will have a nice and original taste of famous and delicious Chiang Mai food. ( Khoi Soy or Thai local breakfast sticky rice and Local Thai KFC. )
After sunrise. we will drop by at the hidden jungle temple and Wat U-Mong to enjoy the serenity surrounding & peace ! Both of them are unique meditation places, very interesting and serene.

Excellent. Tour guide was the best part. His knowledge of Monk culture(being an ex-monk) was fascinating.

The tour was a great way to see the Doi Suthep temple both at night and during day time. We arrived at the temple as soon as the road opened, and there were no other tourists. We arrived early enough to see the monks do their morning chant and the temple is spectacular at night! We also get a glimpse of the sunrise before we return to the temple to learn more about its history and Thai traditions. Our tour guide Non was a monk for 6 years so he was very knowledgeable and he also was lot of fun too! Wat Pha lat or the hidden temple was a jewel, very tranquil, with few visitors. I'm not a morning person but I'm so glad that I joined the tour and I would highly recommend to others.
