1.Doi Suthep and Wat Umong Enchanting Evening Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,811 reviews · 5 hours · from $27Our pick

Review of Chiang Mai’s evening tour to Wat Umong and Doi Suthep, with sunset views, monk ceremonies, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Tour was great! In total it took 4.5 hours. I liked it a lot because I got to see a new temple (Wat Umong) and Doi Suthep in the evening light when I think it looks more beautiful than in the day because it helps to accentuate the golden colour. The guide Layla did a brilliant job. She provided lots of useful information & assisted with taking photos. I really appreciated her clear communication style - at all times we were aware of where we were going, what we were doing next etc. I recommend the tour because it's a nice experience & good value; just beware that there are…”

“We had a great experience on the Chiang Mai: Wat Pha Lat & Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Tour. Our guide, Art, was outstanding and really made the tour special. He was extremely insightful and knowledgeable, but also very entertaining. Art has a great sense of humor and included lots of jokes, which made the whole experience relaxed and fun. At the same time, he gave us a deep and meaningful overview of Thai culture and explained what the temples truly represent to Thai people, not just from a historical point of view but also culturally and spiritually. The tour was well paced, informative, and engaging from start to finish.…”

7.Spiritual Sunrise Wat Doi Suthep, Pha Lat, Alms & Meditation

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 674 reviews · 5h 30m · from $59

Watch sunrise at Doi Suthep, join monk chanting, give alms, meditate, and visit three ancient Chiang Mai temples with an ex-monk guide.

“The temple at sunrise is incredible and it was more than worth getting up early for. You get about five minutes to sit with the monks for the meditation and the rest of the time is spent walking around or listening to the guide. Our guide was a monk for 17 years so he told great stories and shared a lot of insight. And he was funny! And happy to take pictures for us. He captured some very beautiful and then also playful and fun moments. The alms giving is very special. And the other two temple visits are somewhat quick but more or less all you need. You could…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 657 reviews · from $26

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Suthep and Wat Pha Lat tour, with a forest hike, golden temple, sunrise option, costs, transport, and practical tips.

“The red taxi that took us up the hill was hot and the exhaust extremely irritating despite the fan & open windows. A van with AC should be provided not the cheap city taxis. On a positive note the temples were very impressive and the monks trail down the mountain challenging in sandals but very good.”
