Wat Doi Suthep Temple in Chiang Mai Thailand
Posted by allthai | 7th October 2008
No trip to Chiang Mai would be complete without visiting Wat Phra Thart Doi Suthep; the spectacular Buddhist temple that can be seen, from wherever you happen to be in the city, clinging to the mountainside near the summit of Doi Suthep.
Doi Suthep hill has been seen as a holy place for more than twelve hundred years. The original inhabitants, the Lua, believed that the souls of their ancestors resided on the hilltop.

Thailand
I have been living in Thailand since 1989. I have traveled extensively throughout the Kingdom and wanted to share my wonderful experiences of Thailand with others. I stayed in many villages and met with the village headmen many times. I learned about their culture, way of life, religion, and do's and don'ts. I am now retired with my beautiful Thai wife and still living in North Thailand. We are very active in helping orphaned children through our church here. I occasionally write travel articles for magazines and newspapers. Now we both travel around Asia, mostly to Yunnan Province China, Mayalsia and Hong Kong. If you have any questions about Thailand please let me know.
