Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Ratchaworawihan

According to the history of Doi Suthep, it is believed that this mountain was originally the home of a hermit named "Sutewa", which is the same as the word Suthep, which is the origin of the name of this high mountain. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep was built at the beginning of the 19th Buddhist century during the reign of King Ku Na Thammarat, the 6th ruler of Chiang Mai, to enshrine the relics of the Buddha that he had brought from Si Satchanalai. 😇If you visit Chiang Mai, we recommend visiting the most important sacred place here, which is Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Ratchaworawihan. In particular, the golden Chiang Saen-style pagoda that anyone who sees it will have faith in. Chiang Mai people have also respected Phra That Doi Suthep since ancient times. 🙏🏻There are 2 routes to go up to pay homage: 1. Walk up the seven-headed naga stairs, which have 306 steps in total. It takes about half an hour to walk. 2. Take the electric tram. The fare is 20 baht per person (for Thais) and 50 baht per person (for foreigners). It is open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. #tripfreeaccommodation #WatPhraThatDoiSuthep #ChiangMaiTravel
