Half Day Doi Suthep & Meo Hill Tribes (Doi Pui)

 

Description Duration Visit the most sacred temple in the north of Thailand. Wat Prathart Doi Suthep is the most sacred temple in Chiang Mai and contains a holy relic of the Lord Buddha. Tucked away in the mountains at an elevation of 1,056 metres, the temple is reached using a Naga (seven-headed dragon head serpent) railing along both sides. King Gue-Na built the monastery in 1383. The centre contains a big chedi (spiral pagoda), containing partial relics of Lord Buddha. The temple compound, reached via 300+ steps offers an exhilarating view of Chiang Mai and the surrounding countryside. A visit to the nearby hill tribe village of the Meo people completes the day.
