Какво да правите в Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

The trip was well organized. Songthaew for pick-up, guided tour, it has an actual tour guide who knows the best spots and history of the historical Lanna Kingdom leading to this Doi Suthep we now know.

This was the only tour available when I booked the day before, so I chose it. However, it turned out to be much better than I expected, and I'm glad I picked this one over other tours. The meeting time is very early, which makes the morning a bit challenging, but because of that, the temples and hiking trails were less crowded, allowing for a stress-free experience. Unfortunately, it was cloudy this time, so we couldn't see the sunrise. Our guide was also very thorough and made the experience enjoyable. I'm very grateful. We arrived back at the hotel before 9 AM, which meant we had the rest of the day to enjoy, making it very efficient. I highly recommend this tour.

Бяхме група от 8 души от 3 различни държави! Нашият гид сподели малко история за Чианг Май и за двата храма, които посетихме. Продължителността беше точно както трябва и сме благодарни за транспорта до и от хотела!

Wat Pha Lat is the most serene jungle temple, the fact that the plants have been allowed to encroach on the structures only adds to the sense of gentle decay. Even though an overcast sky meant the usual glorious late afternoon light was absent, arriving at the temple as dusk approached only made it more atmospheric. The gilded stupa and umbrellas of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep were impressive from the outset, but it was only when dusk fell and the lights were turned on that it became evident why we were there at that particular time. Magical! The view over the city is spectacular as well, both before and after dark. Our guide Danny was personable, friendly and informative, and gave us time to wander at will, and our driver got us from place to place quickly and efficiently. Minor criticisms are that as a solo traveller, I needed to book and pay for two people; also it was not clear from the activity description that a hotel pickup was possible, rather than meeting at the tour office.

Полудневната обиколка е добра, не е твърде дълга и не е изморителна. Екскурзоводът, Мий, е страхотен, професионален и говори добре и на двата езика – английски и мандарин. Взеха ни от хотела и бяха гъвкави при оставянето ни на място по пътя. Последната спирка, храм високо в планината, изкачването на 300 стъпала беше добро упражнение и предлагаше фантастична гледка към град Чианг Май.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend the Doi Suthep half-day tour! The itinerary is well-paced and never feels rushed. Our tour guide, Mike, speaks Chinese, so communication was completely seamless. His service was exceptional; he patiently explained things along the way and even kindly offered to take photos for us, knowing all the best angles. We stopped at a Hmong village for coffee halfway through, which had a wonderful mountain atmosphere and offered an immersive experience of Northern Thailand's hill tribe culture. The entire experience was relaxed and comfortable, making it stress-free even with children. A wonderful mountain excursion in Chiang Mai and extremely satisfying!

Лесно пътуване от Чианг Май. Храмът има страхотна гледка, макар че за съжаление за нас беше облачен ден! Не бях сигурен за селото, но си струваше заради кафето и гледка от панорамната площадка до „музея“.

Loved this tour! Hiking the Monk's Trail up to Doi Suthep was so much better than just driving to the top. The trail was shaded and easy to follow, Wat Pha Lat was peaceful and beautiful, and we reached Doi Suthep before the crowds. Our guide was great and shared lots of history along the way. Highly recommend!

Very insightful 1/2 day tour with Tour Guide Mew Mew. Went to Wat Umong, No 39 Cafe, Hmong Doi Pui Village and Wat Doi Suthep. I like the way she explained the history of the WAT we visited, calmly and soothing. Thanks for the recommendation on Chum Kitchen too! The food is good and we love your recommendation.
