Wat Prathat Doi Suthep Monastery

The Wat Prahat Doi Suthep monastery complex is located in Chiang Mai province in Thailand. This Buddhist temple impresses with its beauty. Construction began in the 14th century, but it was difficult to get there. It was not until 1935 that the road appeared. According to legend, the place for its construction chose a white elephant. With relics on his back, he roamed the jungle. The elephant reached Doi Suthep Mountain and made it clear at the top that the location was chosen. The monastery also houses a statue of a white elephant that played an important role in the birth of the shrine. There are other interesting exhibits. The monastery is located on a mountain with a beautiful view of the city of Chiang Mai.

There is also a legend that climbing the stairs to the monastery, a person is cleansed of sins.

You can get to the foot of the mountain by taxi, car, tourist transfer.
