Wat(temple) Phrathat Doi Suthep

Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is the one of my favorite buddhist temple. Whenever I visit there, I will be happy. I can see the view of Muang Chiang Mai and there are many traveler from many country visit here. The temple is located 15 km from the city of Chiang Mai and is a sacred site to many Thai people. From the temple impressive views of Chiang Mai can be seen and it remains a popular destination of foreign visitors.
