Wat Doi Suthep is the pretty little temple at the top of a 1000 meter mountain overlooking Chiang Mai. This important religious pilgrimage destination is situated only 45 minutes out of Chiang Mai and therefore equally popular with tourists. When visiting Chiang Mai, it is a must. Getting there independently is easy, and yet it took me a couple of hours to get there due to some basic traveller mistakes. Let’s make sure you don’t fall into the same traps.
