Join us for an unforgettable journey to Doi Suthep and experience Chiang Mai like a local!

Flexible Departure Times – We offer five time slots throughout the day, so you can choose the session that best suits your schedule.

Step into the heart of Chiang Mai’s spiritual and cultural heritage on this Doi Suthep Temple Tour. Travel like a local in a traditional red Songthaew, the city’s signature shared taxi, as you ascend the lush mountainside to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, one of Thailand’s most sacred and awe-inspiring temples. This short yet immersive 3-hour tour is perfect for travelers looking for a meaningful experience without taking up the whole day.

This tour is operated with a typical Thai “songthaew”, offering an authentic local travel experience. A songthaew is a converted pick-up truck with two benches in the back, open sides, and no air-conditioning. It’s the most common way for locals to get around in cities like Chiang Mai.

    Beautiful visit, the guide was very experienced and cute, I really liked especially the temple part in the jungle. However, it was not possible to see the sunrise because it was cloudy, but the view was still beautiful
