Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Buddhist Temple is located on a hill near Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. In the temple we find a beautiful golden stupa, several dozen statues of Buddhas, a long staircase with dragons and other attractions.

Monks in temples

In the temples around the stupa there are other amazing colored statues and drawings. Monks often sit here and some may tie bracelets for good luck to your hand.
