Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep

Woke up this morning to venture 15 kms. outside of the city to Wat Doi Suthep, one of the most famous Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai. Although the specific founding of the temple remains a mystery, many claim that its origins date back to 1383 when the first stupa was built. I hopped in the back of a pickup truck and cruised to the top of the mountain where the temple is located... An amazing ride and beautiful temple!
