Central Lanna-style Stupa, holds the relic of the holy Buddha brought to this site by a white elephant in the 1500s. The Stupa is surrounded by statues of Buddha, and the worshippers come here and walk three times around the stupa often carrying flower offerings.

This has been one of the most inspirational, eye opening, humbling, loving trips of my life. Really enjoying this ride 🖤 Watching the painting of the walls of one of the entrances at Wat Doi Suthep today put a lot of things in perspective for me. My soul feels extremely full. We’re so blessed to know so many incredible people and to have met so many more wonderful artists and new friends ... Im still unpacking a lot of energies and emotions from this trip but I had to share this now. #love #travel #watdoisuthep #magic #paint #art #buddha #devotion #creation #travelingtattooer #hadesinquisition (at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8trLAvlqGi/?igshid=jrf4gaaivkme

10.28.17 wat phra that doi suthep. chiang mai, thailand. built in 1383 more commonly known as wat doi suthep, its the most famous and most visited temple in chiang mai. up the winding roads the temple is nestled high in the doi suthep mountain, once you reach the temple you have an unobstructed view of all of chiang mai. before my journey up the mountain i decided to stop by this little noodle stand. hidden on the side of the road, tucked away in a parking lot under an unpretentious tent an old lady was serving the most delicious little bowls of khao soi. after 2 bowls and a drink which cost me a grand total of about $5usd, i was ready to start my trip up the mountain. i thank @veeeeleeee for this great recommendation! till this day im still trying to find a bowl of khao soi back here in nyc that can even come close but no success yet. . #2017 #chiangmai #thailand #watdoisuthep #temple #buddhism #khaosoi #travel #solotravel #vsco #vscocam (at Chiang Mai, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsy0G2enZmZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gcqnosf8450x

Andrea Sees SEAsia: Temple Day, Doi Suthep, February 21, 2017
After getting a solid 10 hours of sleep, I woke up feeling brand new without a migraine, and was ready for my morning jog. It was sunrise when I left, and I took a quick loop from my hostel up north, and around the northeast corner on the outside of the wall. The city is confined not only by a wall, but also a moat, that goes all the way around the perimeter. I got a glimpse of the city before it was too busy, saw a bunch of young kids taking themselves to school on mopeds, and was confused as to why the other occasional jogger was mad at me. I realized that I was on the wrong side of the sidewalk, not them, and had to constantly remind myself to run on the left…
After freshening up, I tried to pay for my room and get the free breakfast, but no one was at the desk yet, and it didn’t seem like anything was cookin’ in the cafeteria area, so I left. It’s very odd that it’s so easy going there. When I checked they lady who gave me the key said I’d need to pay the guy the next day, but I was gone the whole time he was there, so I slept again. They don’t seem to mind, so I guessed it’s ok… Anyways, I grabbed some breakfast and snacks from the 7eleven to stay has healthy and hydrated as I could (coconut water, banana chips, 2 Gatorades, ham and cheese croissant, and hard boiled eggs), and walked to the Song-Thaew/TukTuk station where they have routine rides up to Wat Doi Suthep. It’s quite cheap for a round trip, and they give you 2 hours to check out the area. The only issue is that they will only go with a full load, so my timed itinerary got a little off as I waited for 9 other people to show up. The ride was easy, luckily, as I feared I might have a repeat episode from the day before.
They drop you off near a little village where they sell trinkets, food, and shawls (in case you need something to cover up your legs or shoulders to be admitted), and our driver told us we could take this dirt path to a gondola to get to the Wat easier. I passed on that, and walked a little ways down the hill where I saw something that looked like the original entrance.
As I walked up under the gate, I saw dragon sculptures on the sides of the steps, which lead to large Buddha, a large bell, and a giant gong. The gong is the largest bronze gong, and is traditionally rung when a monk makes his pilgrimage and commits himself to being a Monk. Clearly, this gong is for tourists as I saw many people ringing it. It was quite massive, however. It was definitely taller than me. I also saw a great giant Buddha under a pagoda. The Buddhas are everywhere, which is a little odd, seeing as how in America we typically only have crosses at altars, grave sites, etc., but every corner was filled with some type of Buddha, or religious figurine.
Next I arrived some stairs… 306 stairs, to be exact. The base is adorned with beautiful Naga (snakes), who were sprouting 5 heads, who’s tails extend all the way to the top as the arm rail to climb. To think about this being built back in 14th century blows my mind, as there is so much detail. I can’t imagine putting all the time into laying down each piece of mosaic tile to decorate these. Technology has certainly made us lazy, and less creative. I took my time climbing up the 306 steps, then took a break, because my asthma and the altitude were not enjoying it.
Sadly there was no audio guide, or tour option, so I walked around and took in what I could, and found out information from random signs placed around. There are bells all around, rung by pilgrims for good luck; statues of elephants, meaning to be royal, especially the white ones; and statues of Buddhas.
There’s an amazing lookout point where you can nearly see the Walled City, but it’s foggy, and polluted, so it’s difficult. There’s a pagoda nearby, as well, that lists the animals of the Chinese calendar.
As you continue, there’s a more sacred area in the center where you will find the Golden Chedi Stupa, the largest in the region, and an area where you walk around 3 times, reciting a prayer, to pay homage, just as the White Elephant did when he carried the relics to this area, trumpeted, walked around 3 times, before dying. The area is surrounded by golden royal umbrellas on each corner, and Buddha shrines on each side. It was very spectacular. A golden explosion. At each of the shrines, there were flowers where people would kneel, pay their alms, and pray, I suspect.
The Emerald Buddha was inside the temple, but I managed to miss it. Seems to be a theme when I am overwhelmed, as I missed the hands of “God’s Creation” in the Sistine Chapel, as well… But there was a green glass replica outside.
After my time was spent, I returned to my hut as I needed to recharge, not only my batteries (as I was so sick last night I forget to charge my camera), but also myself. I felt a little sick on the way down the mountain, so I laid down, charged my batteries, connected with Tatiana for Portugal for our evening plans via WhatsApp. I was planning on making a trip to Bo Sang, a city outside of Chiang Mai where they make silk umbrellas, but I needed to rest.
