Chiang Mai Doi Suthep National Park, the magnificent Doi Suthep Temple

#1月好去地方2025 When visiting Suthep National Park near Chiang Mai, you will usually arrange a half-day trip to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. This pagoda enshrines the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. You need to take a cable car up the mountain to see its magnificent appearance and the double dragon escalator next to the entrance stairs. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is hidden deep in the mountains and overlooks the city. You can take the cable car up the mountain for 20 Thai baht and the ticket to enter the temple is 30 Thai baht. In addition to the glittering golden pagodas and decorations, you can also have a bird's eye view of the entire Chiang Mai city. The view is quite broad. The original name of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep was "Wat Doi Suthep". The dragon on the Double Dragon escalator is actually a Thai snake god. It was named after the dragon in Chinese mythology because it looks like the dragon in Chinese mythology. However, the most interesting thing is the magnificent and golden stupa of Sakyamuni Buddha. It is said that it is covered with more than 200 kilograms of gold foil, no wonder it is so shiny! #ThailandFreeTravel #ChiangmaiTravel #Doi Suthep #ChiangmaiSuthep
