Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

We will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, we will continue to the foot of Doi Suthep mountain where we will stop at the statue of Kruba Srivichai. He was nicknamed the “engineer monk. His followers constructed the road up to Wat Doi Suthep. This is Chiang Mai's most famous temple. From the temple you have a fantastic view over Chiang Mai. On the way down we will stop at Wat Palad, a seldom-visited temple hidden in the forests.
The last temple of the day is Wat Chet Yot, the temple of the seven spires. Few tourists visit this unique complex. The main structure is Maha Chedi, which was inspired by the Mahabodhi Temple of Bodh Gaya in northern India, where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained Enlightenment. This is not the only interesting building on this beautiful and impressive complex. Drive back to the hotel where your Chiang Mai Temples day tour ends.
