Highlights
  • Doi Suthep - Doi Suthep Temple, affectionately referred to by the name of its mountain location, is celebrated for its breathtaking panoramas. The ascent of 306 steps might be intimidating for some visitors, but the unparalleled vista from the summit justifies the physical effort. Witness the dawn at Doi Suthep as it bathes the horizon in a spectrum of golden colors, and capture the moment with photographs during your stay in Chiang Mai.

  • Phra Kruba Srivichai Shrine (Inside Muang On Cave) - Following the Doi Suthep Sunrise Tour, we will pay homage to the grandiose golden monument of Kruba Srivichai, a monument dedicated to the revered Thai Buddhist monk and engineer who was instrumental in constructing numerous temples and thoroughfares in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

  • Wat Pha Lat - Next, we will venture to Wat Pha Lat, a secluded temple nestled amidst verdant jungles, where we will be greeted by tranquil statues and sacred shrines.

  • Wat Umong - To conclude our morning half-day excursion, we will make our way to Wat U-Mong, a historical temple dating back to 1297. Delve into the subterranean passages, immerse yourself in the woodland environment, and be awed by the impressive chedi. To cap off a fulfilling day, we will ensure your return to your lodging or our initial meeting point.

Incredible! - I had Tim as a guide who was incredibly knowledgeable yet efficient and incredibly friendly. We were the first at Doi Suthep to see the sunrise which was incredible to witness. I’d highly recommend this tour and Tim in particular as your guide if possible!

Fabulous guide! - James was a patient and knowledgeable guide. As a previous monk, he was able to provide details and stories to make this private tour very interesting for my husband and I. Definitely recommend James!

Lovely morning exploring the forest temples - My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with James to Wat Doi Suthep, Wat Umong and Wat Pha Lot. After getting all our daily steps in climbing to Wat Doi Suthep, we watched the sunrise over Chiang Mai from the golden pagoda. We heard monks chanting and gave alms. James, had practiced as monk for five years and was so knowledgeable about Buddhism. It was so interesting to learn about the symbolism of the religion and architecture of the temple complexes.

Great experience - The trip was nice, our guide Ton made it a very positive experience as he was sharing information every time he had the chance or we asked a question, and he did it with a big smile :) The sunrise was stunning from the top view. The pickup was very punctual, which we appreciated very much. It’s a relatively short, but full trip!
