• Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Guests are collected from their Chiang Mai accommodation early in the morning, around 6:30 am. They are then driven to the mountain’s base to join locals in offering morning alms to Buddhist monks. A private guide assists in filling the monks’ alms bowls with offerings such as rice, cake, snacks, and curry. In return, the monks chant and offer blessings or prayers. Morning alms are about more than just providing daily sustenance; it is a long-standing ritual throughout Thailand with Buddhist monks.

Afterwards, guests re-board the minivan to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, located on the mountain’s side at an elevation of 1,056 meters (3,464 feet). They climb the staircase to the top, admire the Lanna-style golden pagoda adorned with engraved gold plates and four ornamental umbrellas, and enjoy panoramic views of Chiang Mai city and the beautiful countryside.
