Wat Phra That Doi Saket

The temple sits atop Doi Saket mountain, featuring a golden pagoda, an ordination hall, meditation areas, and multiple smaller spiritual structures within its grounds.

The temple's origins trace back to the 6th century when Buddhism arrived in the region, with the main chedi containing sacred hair relics of Lord Buddha.

The ordination hall walls display modern spiritual murals by Thai artist Khun Chaiwat Wannanon, portraying essential Buddhist teachings and traditional stories.

Located 30 kilometers from Chiang Mai, visitors can reach the temple via yellow songthaews from Warorot Market, with services running daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The temple grounds include a garden with statues depicting scenes from Buddha's life, complemented by an outdoor sitting Buddha image with a small museum beneath.
