Wat Phra That Doi Suthep วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพราชวรวิหาร at Night

Nestled high on the slopes of Doi Suthep mountain, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is one of Northern Thailand’s most sacred temples. Just a short trip from Chiang Mai, this stunning temple dazzles with its golden chedi, intricate carvings, and serene courtyards. Founded in 1383, it’s said to house a relic of the Buddha, brought here by a white elephant that climbed the mountain, trumpeted three times, and chose this spot as its final resting place. Visitors can climb the 306-step Naga staircase—or take the funicular—for breathtaking panoramic views of Chiang Mai, especially magical at sunset. The peaceful chants of monks and the shimmering gold against the sky make this a must-visit spot for travelers and spiritual seekers alike.
