- Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Explore one of Chiang Mai’s most revered temples on this half-day tour to the stunning Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Often simply called “Doi Suthep” after the mountain it resides on, the temple is a magnificent example of Buddhist splendor and offers insights into Thai culture. From the parking area, access the temple gates by either climbing 306 steps or taking a cable car to the summit. If you choose to walk, start your ascent on the intricately designed Naga Serpent Staircase, bordered by large, colorful serpent carvings that wind down the mountain.
- Doi Suthep-Pui National Park - At the mountain’s peak, a breathtaking golden spire awaits, crowning the temple’s center and visible from miles away. The spire is encircled by walls adorned with historical murals, which you can admire before proceeding. Discover the legend of the temple’s origin as you pass by the shrine dedicated to the white elephant, believed to have brought a relic of the historical Buddha to the temple.
- San Kamphaeng - Next, explore the numerous handicraft villages in the Sankamphaeng area. San Kamphaeng is renowned as the ‘home of handicrafts’ and is an ideal place to peruse unique items crafted in Chiang Mai. Your first stop will be at Bo Sang, a village famous for its vibrant paper umbrellas. Continue to various shops offering handmade crafts such as silver jewelry, Thai silk, teak wood carvings, and lacquerware. These items make excellent keepsakes for yourself and charming gifts for friends back home.
