Wat Phra That Doi Suthep # 2

In the mountains above the city of Chiang Mai is the temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, this collection of buildings was the highlight of the tour of Thailand. The beauty of its buildings just completely overwhelmed one . This is one of the smaller temples in the complex but like all of them the ornamentation is remarkable

 

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is an impressive embodiment of the Lanna (northern Thai) culture and is a symbol deeply cherished by the people of Chiang Mai. The temple's origins date back almost seven hundred years, to 1382 and the legend surrounding the founding of the temple is one of those mysteries of Asia .
