Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple is the most famous landmark in Chiang Mai, Thailand which contains the holy relics of Lord Bhuddha in the golden pagoda , built by the ancient Lanna kingdom dynasty called Mangrai in 1367-1388. The temple is situated on the hilltop which is 1,010 meters elevation where we can see the view of the entire charming Chiangmai city that is surrounded with the greenery mountain.

Wat Pha Lat
Explore The Peaceful Hidden Temple which is a forest temple tucked away in the mountains on the way to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, old stone structures, intricate carvings, stairs, naga and Buddha statues dot the quiet grounds, and a walkway over a waterfall made of stone slabs offers postcard-perfect views of Chiang Mai. The temple was virtually unvisited before 2018, but word of its beauty spread among travelers and expatriates alike, and now the Monk’s Path (the forest path from town to the temple) has become an open secret.

Bua Thong Waterfalls (Nam Phu Chet Si)
Adventure climbing like a spiderman along the amazing limestone trail waterfall called “ Bua Thong “ which is an incredibly cool place to check out when you’re in Chiang Mai . The water here bubbles up from a natural spring, and it has such high levels of dissolved minerals that it coats the rocks and tree roots it flows over in high-traction limestone. They call it the “Sticky Falls” because the stone has so much grip. It’s a waterfall and it looks like it should be slippery, so your eyes can’t quite believe it when you see people walking easily on the steep rocks. You can climb all over the waterfall here and go wherever you want to go. It’s so much fun here, and a great place to get some really cool photos.

Wonderful Wats and Waterfalls
We had a great day. Our tour guide, Nui, was kind, helpful and knowledgable. He explained the importance and history of the temples and the meaning of the symbols and statues. He explained points of interest during the drive and was concerned about our comfort. The waterfall was so fun and Nui was with us the whole time, making sure we were safe and taking the best route. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour!
Highly tecommended! Our guide, Nui, was wonderful - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The two temples are both beautiful, in completely different ways - even our kids loved seeing them - and outside the city so more relaxed. And the Bua Tong "sticky waterfall" (which Nui does with you) is SO much fun - our teen and pre-teen had a blast.

Great Day
This was a great full day adventure! The “M” was our private guide. During our tour he was very informative, he had a great knowledge of the places we visited. During the drives he answered all our questions about the country, history, culture, religious, education, etc. He provided great recommendations for meals after our tour and even stopped at an ATM for us and asked if there was anything other stop we needed to make. Lunch was wonderful. We chose the traditional lanna set and M helped us choose the most delicious pieces. His vehicle was new, roomy, comfortable and clean. He was a great driver and great care of us all day.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Doi Suthep Temple, Wat Pha Lard Temple, Sticky Waterfall Private start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
