Golden Thai Temple

Doi Suthep Temple, located near Chiang Mai in Thailand, is a revered Buddhist site perched atop Doi Suthep mountain. It is renowned for its stunning architecture, including a golden chedi that dominates the skyline. Legend has it that the temple was founded in 1383 after a monk found a relic believed to be a shoulder bone of the Buddha. Visitors climb the 300 steps of the Naga staircase, flanked by intricately carved serpents, to reach the temple complex. Apart from its religious significance, Doi Suthep offers breathtaking panoramic views of Chiang Mai and is a popular destination for both tourists and pilgrims. #historicallandmarks #localguides
