Continue to Wat Phra Singh (1345), renowned for its stunning Lanna-style viharn (assembly hall) and the finest scripture repository in Northern Thailand.
Depart for Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, one of Northern Thailand’s most sacred temples, built in 1383. Perched 1,050 metres above sea level, this sacred site features a magnificent golden chedi enshrining holy relics of Lord Buddha. Enjoy panoramic views of Chiang Mai City and the Ping Valley from the summit of Suthep Mountain. Ascend the 306-step Naga staircase, symbolising the spiritual journey towards nirvana, or take a tram to the summit. Afterwards, return to your hotel.
