I decided to write on my visit to Doi Suthep Temples first then later I still got many temples to write. HAHA, Chiang Mai is very famous for it’s temples, old and beautiful.

I sit in the van for 45 minutes from town to reach this place. It’s on top of the hill, don’t know why the van driver go up hill that time want to switch off the AC.

Tour guide asked us want to walk up or take the cable car, my mom say want cable car, but then I and dad want to walk, so we walked. =D

Exercise mah? Not correct meh? Haha. Not very high one la. A while can reach already.

Bought praying needed material - joss stick and candle. Then we go inside the real temple place that got the pagoda with gold paint.

No Shoes there. Then we have to walk around the gold pagoda 3 times only can place the joss stick.

That day somemore was their Buddha day, so the temple was very crowded with locals and tourist. Take photos and pray.

Nice? That time got a bit rain, small small, but for a while only.

We then have to ring all the bell. Don’t know why, but see people do, I follow.

I can see the whole Chiang Mai from the top there. It’s kinda fun going there.

They say, go Chiang Mai didn’t go Doi Suthep temple considered never visit Chiang Mai before, so go Doi Suthep Temple is a MUST visit place in Chiang Mai.
