Explore the historic Wat Doi Suthep temple and native White Hmong hill-tribe village on this half-day trip from Chiang Mai. Discover ancient monuments in Wat Doi Suthep, enjoy panoramic views of Chiang Mai city, ride a songthaew (adapted pick-up truck), and interact with White Hmong villagers.

Depart from your centrally located Chiang Mai hotel in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle and travel to the golden Wat Doi Suthep temple. Drive up the scenic, mountainous terrains and pass by lush landscapes on your way to the base of the complex.

Upon arrival, climb the mythological nagas (dragon-headed serpent) staircase of more than 300 steps or take an elevator to reach the hilltop temple. Marvel at the architectural grandeur of its ancient Buddhist designs and carvings and take time to enjoy the picturesque views of Chiang Mai city.

Next, take an adventurous ride on a songthaew across the rugged roads toward the exotic White Hmong hill-tribe village. Visit a native household and discover the daily lives of the friendly villagers. Learn about their unique customs and heritage before returning to your hotel in Chiang Mai.
