Just outside of Chiang Mai is the iconic Buddhist temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (nicknamed &lsquo;Doi Suthep&rsquo; after its mountain home). We&rsquo;ll head to this ornate Buddhist temple site high above the hills bright and early so we can have the place to ourselves.

The sprawling grounds of this temple site invite everyone to sit in silence or just wander around in awe. If you came for the breathtaking views, you can climb over 300 steps to witness unrivaled views of the region stretching out below. You can also take the cable car up and/or down if you love the feeling of floating on air!

&quot;Doi Suthep was most incredible temple location I have ever seen.&quot; &mdash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/Attraction_Review-g8286767-d456320-Reviews-Wat_Phra_That_Doi_Suthep-Doi_Suthep.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brian Cook, United Kingdom</a>

After gaining insight into the life and spirituality of Buddha, we will make our way to the Hmong Hill Tribe Village located in Pui Mountain. As we arrive, we might be greeted by children running around in colorful traditional clothes unique to the Doi Pui tribes.&nbsp;

At the museum, we will learn more about the native people&rsquo;s culture, history, and industry while supporting the local community. You&rsquo;ll also get the chance to rent traditional clothes and stage an impromptu photoshoot here (around THB 50).&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;re the type to want to just chill and enjoy the view, there is a coffee shop where you can do exactly that before we head back to Chiang Mai to conclude the morning&rsquo;s activities.
