マウンテンズヒルズ周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Wat Pha Lat is located on Doi Suthep, or rather halfway between the base of the mountain and Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It is often visited as a stop on hikes along the Monk's Trail, a path that leads to the summit of the mountain.

There many flags marking the trail which is well defined in any case.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a famous Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai. It is located atop Doi Suthep, a mountain offering sweeping views of the city. The temple is one of the most important religious and cultural landmarks in northern Thailand. According to legend, the temple was founded in the 14th century after a sacred relic, believed to be a tooth relic of Buddha, was brought there. The temple is known for its magnificent golden chedi (stupa) that houses the relic, as well as its intricate murals and impressive architecture. Many visitors climb the 300 steps leading to the temple or take the cable car to enjoy the breathtaking views. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a spiritual site that attracts both religious ceremonies and tourists who want to experience the beauty and cultural richness of Thailand.

A very popular walking route up from the University, can be very busy in parts. Once you pass Wat Pha Lat the trail is very steep up to Wat Phra That - non slippy shoes essential for this to be enjoyable! Sections of the route will require you to use your hands to steady yourself on steep/ uneven ground. Take your time & plenty of water/ snacks!!

Don't forget to bring something to cover up if you're hiking in shorts/ vests and want to visit the temple! As you can imagine it gets very busy!

It's a must if you're in Chian Mai. The staircase has almost 360 steps and is a bit long. Alternatively, you can just take the train.
