Discover the spiritual heart of Northern Thailand and the elegant winter retreat of the Thai Royal Family on this essential half-day mountain excursion.
Embark on a captivating journey up the winding slopes of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park to visit two of Chiang Mai’s most iconic landmarks. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the lush mountain forest, ascending to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, the city’s most sacred temple. Built in 1383, this mountain-top sanctuary houses a holy relic of the Lord Buddha. You can choose to challenge yourself by climbing the famous 306-step Naga serpent staircase or take a convenient funicular to the summit. At the top, marvel at the glittering golden pagoda (Chedi) and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Chiang Mai valley below. The tour continues further up the mountain to Bhubing Palace, the royal winter residence built in 1961. While the palace buildings are reserved for the Royal Family and state guests, the public is invited to explore the world-renowned gardens. Stroll through the Suan Suwaree rose garden, featuring rare temperate flowers and exotic species seldom seen elsewhere in Thailand. Wander past elegant Thai-style log cabins and the serene palace reservoir, all while breathing in the crisp, cool mountain air. This tour offers a perfect blend of Lanna history, Buddhist spirituality, and royal elegance.
