Ching Mai:  Doi Suthep and Chiang Mai University (Ang Kaew) Joined Tour

Experience a different side of Chiang Mai on a half-day journey to Doi Suthep and Chiang Mai University, where sacred temples, mountain scenery, and peaceful local landscapes come together.

Start your adventure at Doi Suthep, one of Chiang Mai’s most treasured cultural landmarks. Located high above the city within Doi Suthep–Pui National Park, the mountain is home to the magnificent Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Ratchaworawihan. Step inside the temple grounds and admire the shining golden chedi, believed to enshrine relics of the Buddha.

Walk up the famous 309-step staircase for a rewarding cultural experience, or take the convenient tram if you prefer an easier way to reach the temple. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the temple, Buddhism, and the traditions that continue to shape life in Northern Thailand.

Next, stop at the Doi Suthep Observation Deck and look out across Chiang Mai. See the city spread beneath the mountains and, depending on your visit time, enjoy the soft colors of the sunset.

Then leave the busy city behind and visit Chiang Mai University. At the peaceful Ang Kaew Reservoir, enjoy beautiful views of Suthep Mountain reflected in the water. It is the perfect place to slow down, take photos, and experience a more relaxed side of Chiang Mai.

• Visit one of Northern Thailand’s most revered temples
• Enjoy panoramic views over Chiang Mai from the mountain
• Learn local stories from an experienced guide
• Discover the peaceful Ang Kaew Reservoir
• Travel comfortably with convenient roundtrip hotel transfers

From the golden temple to the quiet waters of Ang Kaew, this experience lets you see Chiang Mai beyond its busy streets. It is an easy and memorable way to connect with the city’s culture, nature, and timeless mountain scenery in just half a day.
