Leave central Chiang Mai aboard one of the city’s iconic red songthaews and travel into the forested foothills of Doi Suthep. Shared trips depart from the Discova Day Tour Shop, while private options include hotel pickup and drop-off. Begin with a short forest walk at Huay Kaew Waterfall before continuing to Wat Pha Lat, a hidden jungle temple of shaded paths, stone bridges, shrines and small waterfalls. Explore independently and at your own pace. Continue to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Climb the 306-step Naga staircase or take the cable car to the temple terrace, then discover its golden chedi and panoramic city views. Return to Chiang Mai by red truck after your visit. Choose from two daily departures, with shared and private options available.
Discover Chiang Mai’s mountain temples the easy, hassle-free way with three daily departures! Meet at the Discova Day Tour Shop and hop into a shared red songthaew - Chiang Mai's favourite local passenger truck - for a relaxed ride toward the forested foothills of Doi Suthep. If you’ve booked the private option, you’ll enjoy direct hotel pickup and drop off within Chiang Mai.
Your first stop is Huay Kaew Waterfall, a peaceful escape just outside the city. Take a short nature walk, enjoy the cool forest air, and follow the easy trail that leads toward the next highlight.
Your journey continues to Wat Pha Lat, a serene jungle temple tucked quietly along the mountainside. Wander through forest paths, stone bridges, and gentle waterfalls as you explore the temple grounds at your own pace. There is no guiding, just time to take in the calm atmosphere, sculptures, shrines, and the lush forest setting that makes this temple so special.
Continue up the winding mountain road to the highlight of your trip: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai’s most iconic temple. Climb the famous 306-step Naga staircase or take the cable car to reach the golden chedi at the top. Enjoy panoramic views from the terrace, wander around the temple complex, and take in the spiritual atmosphere of this 14th-century landmark.
After your visit, ride back to Chiang Mai in the same shared red truck. With flexible departures and no need for a guide or private transport, this unguided half-day trip is a simple, affordable, and convenient way to explore a waterfall, a jungle temple, and the city’s most famous mountain shrine.
