Attraction

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (15 km from Chiang Mai) offers a great view over Chiang Mai from the summit. The temple grounds include a waterfall that flows in gentle cascades across the site. You can reach it on foot via the monks' trail, which starts near the red-and-white radio tower (near the zoo); the walk one way takes about three hours. By songthaew (local shared pickup) it's about an hour — catch them at the North Gate or the zoo. Opening hours: 6:00–18:00. Entrance: 100 baht.
