Doi Suthep
Chiang Mai has no shortage of Temples to visit. I find that Wat Phra That and Wat Umong in Doi Suthep to be unique and fascinating.
I went to Doi Suthep in the early morning, just in time to watch the sunrise and view the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. The Chedi at Wat Phra That is really fascinating. The top rings are made of pure gold (according to our guide). It takes about 35 minutes to get to Wat Phra That by car, from the city centre.
Wat Umong is a cool place to hang out and we were the only tourists there at the time. There is even one guy (probably training to be a monk) doing some cool yoga moves. It takes about 30 minutes by car from Wat Phra That.
Must See Temples in Chiang City Centre
In addition, I visited Wat Chedi Luang (the largest temple in the Old city of Chiang Mai) and Wat Phra Singh.
Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh are in the city, so you can visit them on foot if you stay near the city. They are 10 minutes walk from each other.
Cheap eSim for Thailand
I used the Thailand telco (DTAC) esim with throughout my 5 days’ stay in Hat Yai Thailand. Thailand telco (DTAC) esim is valid for 16 days 15GB data at 4G speed for RM29 (USD6.70) only. Highly recommended as it is only RM29 (USD6.70) and this is cheaper than buying the esim in Hat Yai Thailand. Check it out at https://esimfortravel.com/product/thailand-dtac-ais/
It doesn’t matter whether you are from the US, UK, Europe or anywhere in the world, as long as your phone has the capability to install eSim, you can purchase and use eSim from esimfortravel.com.
