Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stunning golden hill top temple in Chiang Mai. Located about a 40 minute drive from the old town.
Well worth the trek up the numerous steps to the top.
The views of the city from the top are incredible.

I recently had the opportunity to visit this temple, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. The architectural beauty was awe-inspiring and so tranquil. I highly recommend visiting for an enlightening experience.

This is a golden ancient pagoda (aound 1,300 years old) located on a small hill in Chiang Mai, overlooking the town. Very serene and elegant.

A very nice temple to visit. There is a side road to get to the mountaintop where the temple is. Of course, one can choose to climb a few hundred steps.
Beautiful temple.
The buddha next to the pagoda is famous for those hoping to get lucky with the lottery. You won't miss it, there will be many people praying. There are machines to give lucky numbers for 20 Bart.
The great view from the temple provides nice photos opp and lots more to see as well.

The tour on the van was a horror. The driver was the most unfriendliness person in Thailand. First they take you to a village where they wait with you until you buy things and then they get a kick back. I watched the driver get cash. The village was nothing but a tourist trap. The temple was not worth the price and we only had 45 minutes there and then we waited 30 for the van to get us. This tour was from Click2 Go I don’t recommend them I booked another tour and they never showed up!

This temple doesn't have much to recommend it, unless you believe that praying and donating will get you a lucky number. If so, this temple is well provisioned. There are more lottery vendors here than even Doi Suthep, which is saying a lot. And the presentation of it all is so crass. I couldn't get out of here fast enough.

Good peace of mind, if you need some place calm to set your mind to peace and get some rest please visit this temple a bit far away from the crowing centre. Also if you get to assist in the monk prayers please do so.
Good fresh air in the morning.

Ciao volevo sapere com'è raggiungibile questo tempio dal centro di Chiang Mai e quanto tempo bisogna dedicargli per visitarlo al meglio.
Grazie mille!
ใบที่สิบสองคนหนึ่งเดินนำหน้า คนหนึ่งว่าตามหลังมาทั้งสอง
เปรียบเหมือนกับคนใบ้ในใจปอง
พูดไม่คล่องแสนยากลำบากครันว่าจะมีคนชุปอุปถัมภ์ เหมือนถ้อยคำพาทีคนที่ฝัน เวลาตื่นหายไปร้อนใจครัน ให้ป่วนปั่นเปล่าๆไม่เข้าการ ถามหาคู่สู่สมภิรมย์ภักตร์ ว่าร้ายนักจักแจ้งแถลงสาร ถามเป็นความไม่ดีไม่มีปาน ถามถึงการเพื่อนรักประจักษ์ใจ ว่าคงจะได้สมอารมณ์นึก ที่ตื่นลึกคงแจ้งแถลงใข พบพี่ป้าลุงน้าเพื่อนอาลัย แต่ลาภไม่สู้ดีเท่านี้เอยฯ ขอความหมายหน่อยครับ

Je réitère mon commentaire de 2016 en anglais, mais cette fois en français. ATTENTION, La grande majorité des commentaires et photos de ce temple concernent en fait le Wat Phra That Doi SUTHEP. Merci de ne pas confondre.

I am planning to visit this temple but I'm not sure if I should go during sunrise or sunset.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!! I just came from the temple and came right before sunrise. It was chilly and I was the first one that arrived there and had the whole place to myself before tourists started coming in. Def recommend going right before sunrise and also during sunset too! The view is spectacular
