You are advised to be properly attired to be respectful when you visit the temple. My wife had to borrow a piece of cloth at the temple to wrap up her legs and she gave 10 baht as donation.
You may choose to get up the temple by the elevated or walk up the steep flight of steps. But I was told that it is a must to walk throught the serpent stairs for good luck. Hence I decided to take the easier path of getting up through the elevator and walking down the stairs. After visiting Doi Suthep Temple, it is known that you would return to Chiang Mai for whatever reason.
Chiang Mai is a wonderful place to visit. I regretted not being able to stay for another day. Having to stay 3 nights there, I had a tight schedule, sleeping late at night and getting up early for day trips. Yet I was unable to go to all the attractions and have enough of shopping.
Perhaps I will be there again to complete the other attractions. The review that I had provided is based on my personal experience and it may not fit exactly what you had experienced, so feel free to comment and add to the review if you would like to.
