is set amongst the peaks of doing suthep. It has a lovely setting with a panoramic view of Chiangmai and the Mae ping river valley. Although way do I suthep is the most recently built of the temple dating from the Lanna Thai period,it is the symbol of Chiangmai. The site was selected by sending an elephant to roam at will up the mountainside. When it reached this spot,it trumpeted,circled three times,and kneeled down and thus interpreted as a sign indicating and auspicious site.
