Yesterday evening we asked Toon to drive and drop us at the begining of the Doi Suthep mountain. We planned to walk up to Doi Suthep temple!!

Every year, on the day before Visakha Puja Day, Chiang Mai people have tradition of walking up to Doi Suthep temple. There are 2 reasons of doing this :- first, to offer our strength, our good intention, our believe to the Lord Buddha. Second, is to recall Kru Ba Sri Wichai, the most important monk in Lanna, who led people in building the road up to Doi Suthep temple.

After gave our respects to Kru Ba Sri Wichai statue, we started walking up at 17:30, before the parades, which started around 20:00

We walked up and free ourselves from worry, we wondered how long it will take for this 12 KM distance.

On the way, there are many cars parked beside the road, some sold drink and food, some offered them for free. We are very proud of being Thai, Thai people always kind and generous.

We arrived at Doi Suthep temple at 20:30, we made it in 3 hours!! Wow, far better than we expected.

Here are some picture, maybe you want to see Doi Suthep temple at night time, it was really beautiful.
