Take a songthaew to the starting point of the Monk’s Trail, then begin a scenic walk through the lush forest on the slopes of Doi Suthep. Follow this historic trail, once used by Buddhist monks traveling between the city and the temples, to Wat Pha Lat, a peaceful jungle temple surrounded by nature.

Great trip! Highly recommend the sunrise tour. Very few people and the pagoda lit up in the dark before the sunrise was incredible.

A wonderful trip with a friendly helpful guide and driver who wer well versed with the history and background of the temples.
The trek down the mountain was great hike and we appreciated the foresight of our guide in supplying Naboo walking sticks which were extremely helpful on slippery terrain.
Thank you Saman.

Best temple tour in Chiang Mai!
We did the 16:00 tour with Tik, who gave us tons of knowledge, from the time we started until we got back to town. From the edible, medicinal, and utilitarian plants, the story of all the monks, temples, and statues, his knowledge is thorough, professional, and second to none. He arranged for our transport and walked us up the mountain through the amazingly beautiful jungle. He was patient when we needed a break, or for me to take a stupid amount of photos. My personal favorite was his telling the story carved into the giant teak wood, of how the relic of the Buddha was brought up the mountain. When we finally got to the monastery at the top, the views made the sweaty hike up the hill so worth it. This place was right out of a movie, including the view of Chiang Mai from so far up. Tik knows everything about all 3 temples, the monks, the 400-year-old jackfruit tree, and hell, even good ole “Temple Dog,” one of whom came down the path meet us. (There’s dogs at all the temples, so there’s always a temple dog…and some cats.) He also knows where to take the best pictures! Tik’s laid-back, easy to understand manner made learning all this history and culture easy to understand and follow. 15/10 would recommend this young man and this tour to anyone. Just make sure you can physically handle the climb or decent, which isnt that hard for most average folks. Next time, we plan on doing the 05:30 sunrise tour. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through this app. ???????? ????!
