This was really nice and I would like to have had more time to spend there. The Thia people are very active in their faith and they are very polite.

Really worth the trip. And there's a tram if the 309 steps proves too much. Of course, a tourist destianation as well as an historic temple.

A mistic visit, blessing from a Monk, ringing bells, walking around the temple all gave on a feeling of being part of the Temple experience. The view from the top is wonderful and the walk, or ride up is most interesting. If a person visit's Chang Mi, the Temple is a must see.

Holy place. So no shorts allowed. You can rent a "sarong" there. Excellent scenery. Take the stairs instead of the escalator....to view the "Twin Dragon".

certainly worth making a stop here to see such a treasure.There is a cable car to reach the summit so 1 does not have to be very fit to reach and see this attraction.

This temple is Chiang Mai's most important and strikingly visible landmark, with an exquisite copper-plated chedi topped by a five-tiered gold umbrella-one of the holiest chedis in Thailand. The temple overlooks the city and is 3,520 feet above sea level, with only the distance of 15 kilometers from town. You need to approach the temple grounds on foot by climbing a steep staircase of around 290 steps or if you wish, there is a service of funicular railcar.
