The foot of Doi Suthep Hill has a monument that honors Khru Ba Siwichai, a respected Buddhist monk who initiated the initiative, and a large group of Buddhists.

Wat Pha Lat, a jungle temple paradise. Jungle temples, as opposed to community temples that are found in the city, serve primarily as a calm place for monks to live and meditate. With old stone buildings, intricate carvings and statues, and plenty of breathtaking places to meditate, it’s clear why people claim Wat Pha Lat is a hidden gem in Chiang Mai.

Fabulous day trip frim Chiang Mai
We had the most amazing day with Mosquito and Mr. K. Our guide and driver were so kind, knowledgeable and informative. The sticky waterfall was gorgeous and a lot of fun. The temple so interesting. And we also went to handicraft highway and wonderful stores there. We received excellent advice and thoughtful service throughout.

Fantastic day trip!
Thank you for the fantastic experience. I really recommend Mr K’s Taxi if you’re looking for a stress free day trip in Chiang Mai. We were picked up directly from our hotel in the morning and had a fun packed day visiting the temple and sticky waterfall. We appreciated the cold bottles of water throughout the trip and the very helpful hints and tips along the way. My sisters and I had a great trip. Thanks again!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $3000 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 Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall?
+
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 Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Doi Suthep Temple Handicraft Center and Sticky Waterfall 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.
