Chiang Mai → Doi Suthep: key facts

Doi Suthep from Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) by private transfer: €25 per car (1–3 people) or €35 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 18 km via Huay Kaew Road, roughly 30 min when traffic is light and 30–40 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrival hall of the terminal your flight lands at, international or domestic, at the exit after baggage claim (and, on international flights, after immigration and customs), holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is the temple on the mountain that rises directly west of Chiang Mai, at roughly 1,000 m above sea level. From the airport the drive heads north along the western ring road to Huay Kaew Road, passes Chiang Mai University and the zoo, and then climbs the winding Srivichai Road up the forested slope. The distance is about 18 km and the trip usually takes 30 to 40 minutes, with the last 11 km on a steep mountain road full of bends.

Cars and minibuses stop at the car park in the village at the foot of the temple, where a staircase of more than 300 steps lined with naga serpents leads to the terrace; a small funicular runs alongside for those who prefer not to climb. The golden chedi stands in the inner courtyard, and the terrace gives wide views over Chiang Mai and the valley on clear days. Further up the road lie the gardens of Bhubing Palace and the Hmong village of Doi Pui. Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is required inside the temple.
