Itinerary
This half-day tour will take you to the most breathtaking sites the city has to offer. Visit one of the most sacred temples, the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (Doi Suthep Temple), seated atop a mountain giving you breathtaking views of the entire Chiang Mai. It was established in 1383 under the reign of King Keu Naone and has a very mystical birth story. A visiting Sukhothai monk had told the Lanna king to create a temple by using the twin of the miraculous Buddha relic. This relic was placed on a white elephant, which wandered the mountain until it died in the very spot that the temple sits. This was interpreted as the “chosen location”. The temple can be reached by a long, and quite strenuous 306 step staircase.
Follow your tour guide to the next stop, Bhubing Palace, the winter residence of the Thai Royal Family. Be amazed by the abundance of flowers and several different indigenous trees which are unusual to see in most parts of Thailand. Marvel at the feature of Thai architectural style. Take a stroll inside the palace to observe its interiors. Take advantage of convenient hotel transfers and enjoy a cultural and historical experience in Chiang Mai.
