WAT PHRA THAT DOI SUTHEP TEMPLE (วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ) - Chiang Mai, Thailand
Keen on witnessing the best vantage point in Chiang Mai, Thailand we hopped on a red sangthaew and made our way up Mount Doi Suthep to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Buddhist Temple (วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ).

Our party of eight shuffled into the back of a Red Sangthaew (Thai transportation truck) and made our way up the serpentine road leading to Doi Suthep temple. Peering out the back of the truck as we ascended the mountain, I spotted Thais whizzing past us on crammed motorbikes with as many of three passengers on one seat. The ease at which locals were making their way up the temple was in stark contrast to how our party was faring as we grabbed tightly onto the passenger railing trying our best not to vomit given the excessive fumes being emitted from our vehicle in tandem with the constant back and forth motion of the winding road.
After 15 minutes of shifting back and forth we finally made a stop at the first lookout point located roughly half way up the mountain. Traipsing past Thai ladies selling trinkets and refreshments we witnessed our first unobstructed views of Chiang Mai; however, unfortunately, a combination of morning haze and clouds prevented us from seeing much aside from a a few select buildings.
Upon reaching the top of the mountain we began our climb up 309 steps to reach Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple. Immediately, I couldn't help but notice the hoards of tourists - especially Chinese vacationers - visiting this temple situated high atop of the mountain. I'm not sure why I expected different but I had envisioned a quaint temple on top of a mountain with very few visitors. Immediately, I found myself having to recalibrate my expectations to correspond with reality.
This popular Theravada Buddhist temple was built in 1383; however a road was not constructed to temple until 1935. The origins of the temple remains a mystery to this day. Legend has it that a white elephant climbed up Doi Suthep (at the time called Doi Aoy Chang (Sugar Elephant Mountain)) trumpeting three times before passing away at the site.
Wandering around the perimeter areas of the temple wasn't particularly impressive. Aside from it being overcrowded, the exterior of the Wat was very ordinary and typical of other 'free' and easily accessible temples dotted all over Chiang Mai; however, once I removed my footwear inside the interior section, I was treated to more impressive statues, bells, shrines and the spectacle of locals praying both by standing up and walking and sitting down.
Located just 15 kilometers from the old quarter of Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep can be easily reached by Red Sangthaew. Our group of eight paid 800 Baht total (100 per person) for our driver to take us up the mountain (30 minute drive), wait for us for two hours and bring us back into the city center.
This morning we're venturing up to Doi Suthep and there is a temple atop the mountain overlooking Chiang Mai, so we're going to be taking a red songthaew to get there and hopefully the views of the city will be amazing.
Ideally you should be able to see the views of Chiang Mai from up here but today it is just really hazy, so there is a cloud hanging over the city. We can't really see much, which is unfortunate.
That concludes our visit to Doi Suthep. It is definitely different than what I expected. I was kind of expecting this quaint little temple on top of a hill and instead it is an extremely popular tourist attraction. It is really crowded over here.
I would say the exterior of Doi Suthep is quite similar to a lot of the other Wats we have visited here in Chiang Mai. However, the highlight for me was actually going inside the temple because there is a courtyard with a golden stupa and you can walk around light candles and there is incense burning, so that was a great experience.

Chiang Mai, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, often referred to as Wat Doi Suthep, is the landmark of Chiang Mai. Characteristic is the gilded chedi.
We take a taxi to get us to the temple. Wat Doi Suthep is about 7 km west of the center of Chiang Mai. It lies 1053 m above sea-level and 400 m high on the slope of Doi Suthep Mountain. The road winds steeply up the mountain in innumerable curves. Many cyclists use it as training grounds and torment themselves up the gradients. But afterward, they enjoy the downhill. The road, built in 1935, ends in a parking lot lined with sales booths.
According to legend, the monk Maha Sumana Thera has brought a relic of the Buddha from Sukhothai, in 1371. When the relic broke into two pieces, one was fastened to a white elephant and the elephant was set to free. The elephant ran three days towards the mountain Doi-Suthep until he reached the place where the hermit Wasuthep lived. There he collapsed dead. It was clear that this was the place where a new temple was to be built, which then happened.
In 1525, King Muang Kaeo increased the Chedi to 16 m and it received its present form.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
From the parking lot, a steep staircase with 306 steps leads to the temple. The bodies of two Nagas, stone serpents, form the balustrade.
Fortunately, there is also a cable car which we prefer to use. Arrived at the top, we are in a courtyard. The sculpture of a white elephant is reminiscent of the founding legend.
To the right of the tower with the large bell is a Sal tree (Shorea robusta), in Thai Sala tree. The woody round brown fruits with a diameter of up to 24 cm give the tree the common name cannonball tree. The Sal tree is of particular importance in many cultures. In Buddhism, the short flowering period of the tree is a symbol of impermanence. According to legend, Queen Maya gave birth to her son Gautama Buddha under a Sala tree in Lumbini. Allegedly Buddha died under a Sala tree.
Then we enter the inner sanctum. A gallery built by Chao Kawila in 1806, is surrounds the inner courtyard.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep ist das Wahrzeichen von Chiang Mai. Er ist bekannt für seine goldene Chedi.
Wir nehmen ein Taxi und lassen uns zum Tempel fahren. Er liegt ungefähr 7 km westlich des Zentrums von Chiang Mai, 400 m hoch am Abhang des Doi Suthep Berges, 1053 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Die Straße windet sich steil in unzähligen Kurven den Berg hinauf. Viele Radfahrer nutzen sie als Trainingsgelände und quälen sich die Steigungen hinauf. Die Abfahrt genießen sie dafür umso mehr. Die Straße wurde 1935 gebaut und endet auf einem großen Parkplatz, der von Verkaufsständen gesäumt ist.
Der Sage nach soll der Mönch Maha Sumana Thera 1371 eine Reliquie des Buddha aus Sukhothai mitgebracht haben. Als die Reliquie in zwei Teile zerbrach, befestigte man eine davon an einem weißen Elefanten und ließ diesen frei. Der Elefant lief drei Tage in Richtung des Berges Doi-Suthep bis er den Platz erreichte an dem der Einsiedler Wasuthep lebte. Dort brach er tot zusammen. Damit war klar, dass dies die Stelle sei, an der man einen neuen Tempel bauen sollte, was dann auch geschah.
1525 wurde unter König Muang Kaeo der Chedi auf 16 m erhöht und erhielt seine heutige Form.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Vom Parkplatz aus führt eine steile Treppe mit 200 Stufen zum Tempel. Die Körper von zwei Nagas, steinernen Schlangen, bilden das Geländer.
Glücklicherweise gibt es auch eine Schrägseilbahn, die wir der Treppe vorziehen. Oben angekommen, befinden wir uns in einem Vorhof. Die Skulptur eines weißen Elefanten erinnert an die Gründungssage.
Direkt rechts vom Turm mit der großen Glocke befindet sich ein Salbaum (Shorea robusta), in Thai Sala tree. Die runden braunen Früchte mit einem Durchmesser bis zu 24 cm haben eine holzige Schale und gaben dem Baum auch den Namen Kanonenkugelbaum.
Der Salbaum ist in vielen Kulturen von besonderer Bedeutung. Im Buddhismus ist die kurze Blütezeit des Baumes ein Symbol für Vergänglichkeit. Der Sage nach gebar Königin Maya ihren Sohn Gautama Buddha unter einem Salbaum in Lumbini. Es wird auch erzählt, dass Buddha unter einem Salbaum gestorben sei.
Danach betreten wir das Allerheiligste. Der Innenhof ist mit einer Galerie umgeben, die König Chao Kawila 1806 erbauten lies.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Chiang Mai - Thailand
Wikipedia:
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (Thai: วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ) is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. The temple is often referred to as Doi Suthep although this is actually the name of the mountain it is located on. 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 original founding of the temple remains a legend and there are a few varied versions. The temple is said to have been founded in 1383 when the first chedi was built.[1] Over time, the temple has expanded, and been made to look more extravagant with many more holy shrines added. A road to the temple was first built in 1935.
White Elephant Legend[edit source | editbeta]
White elephant shrine
According to legend, a monk named Sumanathera from Sukhothai had a dream; in this vision he was told to go to Pang Cha and look for a relic. Sumanathera ventured to Pang Cha and is said to have found a bone, which many claim was Buddha's shoulder bone. The relic displayed magical powers; it glowed, it was able to vanish, it could move itself and replicate itself. Sumanathera took the relic to King Dharmmaraja who ruled the Sukhothai.
The eager Dharmmaraja made offerings and hosted a ceremony when Sumanathera arrived. However, the relic displayed no abnormal characteristics, and the king, doubtful of the relic's authenticity, told Sumanathera to keep it.
However, King Nu Naone of the Lanna Kingdom heard of the relic and offered the monk to take it to him instead. In 1368 with Dharmmaraja's permission, Sumanathera took the relic to what is now Lamphun, in northern Thailand. The relic apparently split in two, one piece was the same size, the other was smaller than the original. The smaller piece of the relic was enshrined at a temple in Suandok. The other piece was placed by the King on the back of a white elephant which was released in the jungle. The elephant is said to have climbed up Doi Suthep, at the time called Doi Aoy Chang (Sugar Elephant Mountain), trumpeted three times before dying at the site. It was interpreted as a sign and King Nu Naone ordered the construction of a temple at the site.
Stairs to Wat Doi Suthep
The wat can be reached by road from Chiang Mai. From the car park, at the temple base visitors can climb 309 steps for free to reach the pagodas or there is a tram.[2] Entry to the temple on the tram costs 30 Thai baht for foreigners (or 50 baht if you would like a two-way tram ticket included)[3] and is free for Thai nationals.
Once inside the temple grounds; visitors must take off their shoes. Visitors must be appropriately dressed. The original copper plated chedi is the most holy area of the temple grounds. Within the site are pagodas, statues, bells and shrines. Aspects of the Wat draw from both Buddhism and Hinduism. There is a model of the Emerald Buddha and a statue of the Hindu God Ganesh. Views of Chiang Mai can be seen on the other side of the temple.

Explore TV Thailand 2016 - Wat Pra That Doi Suthep
There are many temples in Thailand, but Wat Pra Thai Doi Suthep near Chiang Mai is something you have to check out. This temple is a beauty to behold and is one of the most important and most revered of all temples in Thailand. It’s also a major pilgrimage destination for Buddhists.
Frustrated with Photography | Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai
I'm a bit frustrated with my photography right now. I'm in a bit of a rut. Hopefully, a visit to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep will cure that.
My travel photography is on IG at @brendanvanson
Photography isn't always easy, even to professional travel photographers. Sometimes, we struggle. Actually, I think often we struggle more than we strive.
On this photography channel, I really try to share the good and the bad. I want to paint a proper picture of life as a travel photographer. And, there are times we go through these phases where we kind of suck. Right now, here in Thailand, I'm kind of frustrated with photography. I'm in a rut. And, I was hoping heading out and shooting would cure that.
So, I went up to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep here in Chiang Mai.
Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is incredible. It really is impressive. But, when you're in a photography rut, it's hard to see the photos. And, I was frustrated a bit with my lack of ability to find a cool composition to shoot at the temple. Thailand in so many ways has frustrated me from a photography perspective. And, it's not just here in Chiang Mai, it's been all over and even on previous trips. Thailand is my greatest photography struggle and it shouldn't be like that. It should be fairly easy.
That said, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is amazing and the experience shooting photography up there was really cool.
On tomorrow's vlog, I'll be taking the photography channel off to Pai where I'll hopefully shake this funk.

About Us!
If you had told me a year ago that we were going to sell all of our stuff to start backpacking the world, I would have called you a liar. Decisions like the one we made start with an inflection point. A point where you realize that life can never be the same anymore. After a challenging, and painful year in 2017, we decided we needed to go out and live the life we wanted to live, instead of watching it on someone else’s YouTube Channel. We had given everything we had, physically and emotionally, for other’s dreams and were ready to work that hard for ourselves. From rock bottom, Chase for Adventure was born.
The Chase Begins
We moved in with our parents, sold everything we own including our cars, and paid off $70,000 worth of debt. We worked 70hrs/week over the last year trying to save up $15,000 to make our dreams come true. Now, we are travel journalists who showcase the beauty in different cultures and inspire others to chase their dreams through our YouTube Channel and website Chase for Adventure. We want to show others that if they want something bad enough, they’ll figure out how to get it; show people who are struggling that they can make the light at the end of their tunnel. Chase for Adventure is more than just a travel vlog and blog; it’s the chronicles of what it’s like to have a dream and do whatever it takes to attain it.
DOI SUTHEP · THE MOST ICONIC PLACE IN CHIANG MAI | TRAVEL VLOG #37
If there's one thing everyone does when they visit Chiang Mai, it's going to see the temple at the top of the Suthep Mountain, which everyone just refers to as Doi Suthep – but there's a reason why everyone goes there, and in today's vlog we join the crowds!
The entrance to Doi Suthep is 30 baht for foreigners, and you can get there either by scooter or songthaew. We always take our scooter, but a songthaew from the foot of the mountain is only 40 baht. There's no reason not to go. Except if you hate stairs. Then I guess that would be a reason. There's a lot of 'em.

We have been traveling full-time since September 2016, and we usually base ourselves in one place for at least a month or two. This way of traveling is not only budget friendly – it also means that we can take our time and really explore and enjoy the place we're in. We eat local food, shop at local markets, meet local people and enjoy experiencing different cultures – all the while seeking out the best wifi and exploring everything there is to explore.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Chiang Mai, Thailand I TravelFilms (2018)
We visited Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple in northern Thailand near Chiang Mai.
We were there a day before the Thai New Year and there was a huge celebration. Everyone was dressed in traditional clothes and we saw a lama swallowing money :D
The Buddhist monks allowed us to fly the drone, which was also very important to show how great Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is on the top of the mountain.
I hope we succeeded to give you a feel of this amazing place.
