Chiang Mai

Wat Doi Suthep

Chiang Mai is situated about 300 meters above sealevel, surrounded by mountains. 700 meters higher, on the top of one of those you will find Wat Doi Suthep. The road up to the temple is filled with bends, but good quality. When you get to the top, there are still 306 steps to climb before you are on the top.

But it is well worth the sweating, because the templearea is breathtaking, and from the top you have a beautiful view over Chiang Mai too.
