Special Early Morning Experience
This morning we leave the Resort early and take a short drive to the foot of Doi Suthep, where you can take part in a merit making ceremony by giving Alms (some food & drink, etc.) to the local Monks from Wat Sri Soda. This is an amazing and moving site with usually hundreds of Saffron Robed Monks walking out of the Temple.  After this we then drive up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, the most venerated Temple in Chiangmai, situated on the hill-side some 3000 ft. above the City in the Doi Pui National Park. En route up the mountain we stop for a short “Breakfast” coffee break before visiting The Temple itself (before all the crowds arrive !!). From the Temple Grounds there are panoramic views over Chiangmai and the surrounding area.
On our descent we have lunch at a local restaurant, after which we return to the Resort where the rest of the afternoon is at your leisure. 
Our Guides & Vehicles will also be available for you to explore in & around Chiangmai City.

Air Tickets

• As indicated our Programs commence and conclude at Chiangmai Airport so you will need to arrange your own flights in and out of Chiangmai.
• And as we are not an Air Ticketing Agent, it would certainly prove more economical for you to book your own Air Tickets for this sector, either through your own CRS, on-line or possibly in conjunction with your International Tickets from the US.
• We therefore DO NOT include any Air Tickets or Air Ticketing arrangements in our Costs.
