Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple in the evening
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. In the late afternoon, there were fewer people, staying till after sunset to enjoy a quiet moment as the monks began their evening chanting. As soon as it gets dark, the huge spotlights turn the golden stupa and Buddha into shimmering hues of gold.

Late afternoon to avoid the crowd and heat


Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep temple in Chiang Mai
The most famous temple of tourist in Chiang Mai
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is certainly one of the most important temples in Chiang Mai, as well as one of the most revered among all Thais. The temple is a major visit destinations during the important Buddhist holidays of Makha Buja and Visak. Its importance, as well as its location, owes much to the legend of its founding.Doi suthep temple was established in 1383 by King Keu Na one to enshrine a piece of bone said to be from the shoulder of the historical Buddha. The holy bone shard was brought to Lanna by a wandering monk from Sukhothai kingdom and it broke into two pieces at the base of the mountain, with one piece being enshrined at Wat Suan Dok. The second piece was on a sacred white elephant that wandered the jungle until it died, in the process selecting the spot where the temple was later founded.

The Nāga staircase at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple.
At Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple, you can try to walk up Nāga stairs. The Nāga staircase is lined on both sides with a snake-like being, called Nāga. This has its origin in the myth of the Buddha. The Buddha had reached enlightenment and was meditating under a Bodhi tree when it started raining heavily. A snake-like mythical creature appeared. It sheltered the Buddha with its hood from the rain. This was a Nāga called Mucalinda. The Nāga is often portrayed with multiple heads.
Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep even has a kind of elevator. If you don’t need to walk.

Jack is very accommodating and easy to talk to. I booked last minute and he responded quickly to my inquiry. He was able to make an itinerary that was kid-friendly,... read more as I was with my toddler during the tour. It was very personalized and met my specific needs.
He is also a good storyteller. Not only did he explain the history of the temples we visited, but he also told us about life in Chiang Mai in general, and his personal experiences as well.
Jack is very helpful in many ways. He helped me with carrying my kid’s stroller as some parts of the temples do not have ramps. He also helped me in suggesting what to do after the tour (which areas we can visit since our time was limited). And lastly, he helped me make our short stay in Chiang Mai very memorable.
Highly recommended!

From Chang Mai, Doi Suthep, Sticky waterfall, to Doi Inthanon Hill tribe homestay and Sukhothai ancient ruin bike tour. Jack took great care of us. My favorite part was when... read more he took us to his friends house in the mountains of Doi Inthanon where we picked our vegetables for our dinner, cooked dinner with our village tribe homestay family, walked on the farm and met local hill tribe farmers, and even got to roast coffee while we were there from the local arabica plants in the backyard. After staying with the hill tribe village Chief Jack knew we wanted to see ancient ruins and recommended we bike around in Sukhothai. This was amazing since many tourists do not come here since it's farther away from Bangkok. We wanted to see Northern Thailand and we didn't really have much of a plan and good thing since Jack consulted with us about what we like and he gave us suggestions which we were super interested in and super grateful for.
Jack... What to say. Jack is super fun, very flexible, and incredibly kind. His English is very good and he showed us an amazing time around Northern Thailand in just 4 Days. I would recommend talking with Jack first before planning a super Rigid plan. Being flexible and talking with a local who has 20 years of experience in tourism in Thailand is what you get when you talk with Jack. If I could give 6 stars I would. Highly highly recommend staying overnight in Hill tribe village!!!!
Much Love Jack ️

Jack is very professional and experienced. What made him excellent is his ability to gather information on what you want and provide you with the best options. His understanding of... read more traffic patterns, and other variables gave him the insight to provide great suggestions, which I'm glad we followed because he was right about the best food, coffee, and views and historical sites that had the least amount of crowded tourists. We also got to see the only elephant hospital! So cool!
Jack also has an exclusive relationship with a specific hill tribe that only allows his guests to visit as if they are family. We stayed in a very clean and bamboo home, picked fresh vegetables and cooked them with our hosts and enjoyed a hot shower in the jungle. Wow. What a way to unplug and enjoy the peaceful nature!

Jack Private Tour Thailand is the best guide in Chiang Mai! - Jack is an experienced tourguide who is very motivated to give you the best tour experience in Chiang Mai!
We went on a full day tour to Doi... read more Ithanon National Park, where we did a beautiful hike, saw the King & Queen Pagoda, one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen and a local market.
Jack is very flexible, happy to customize tours and itineraries.
Communication with him is very clear, via email or whatsapp, and he speaks very well English.
The Thai tourism industry is very slowly recovering from the Covid crisis, and I encourage everybody to do book tours at guides like Jack because nowhere in the world you get such quality for your buck, and they deserve your business.
Whenever I return to Chiang Mai I would tour with Jack again! ***** 5 stars!
