A few places are to be visited at a specific time. Doi Suthep is one of them. It is preferred and suggested by the tourist who goes over the day that You should visit Doi Suthep in the morning.

Mornings are a high-quality time to visit the temple. That way, you can avoid crowds and heat. Let’s say seeing Doi Suthep without droves of tourists in your picture is nearly impossible unless you go first thing in the morning.

Furthermore, seeing the sunrise from the top of the temple hill is what the locals say is the best Chiang Mai view possible.

We will share the experience and tips on why it is best to visit Doi Suthep in the early morning.

We are providing you with a proper tour plan that will give you several reasons for visiting it in the morning.

The morning time is the best suitable time to visit Doi Suthep

The first and most important reason is the view that you should not be missing.

As soon as the sun rises and spreads, it shines everywhere, it is a sight in itself, but when the beam of sunlight touches the Golden Pagoda, it enhances its beauty.

The sun’s rays brighten the Golden Pagoda, making it quite a sight. There are a few temples that are known in northern Thailand.

What else Doi Suthep sunrise tour has for you?

Many tourists prefer to leave even earlier, like at 5 am, to capture sunrise views at the temple.

We recommend leaving as early as possible because it is worth it.

When you leave the city between 5-6 am, ensure you have a guide or driver with you if you visit for the first time.

The second benefit of leaving early to Doi Suthep is that you will not have to go through the hassle of traffic while most people are asleep, and the roads will not be that busy. You can reach your destination in no time.

You have to remember that 306 steps are to be climbed because the funicular is still not open. Most people take it as a devotion to climbing those stairs.

When you are done climbing those stairs, you will see the Monks’ ceremonies and then enjoy the sunrise in peace.

If you are worried about the food, you should not be because we didn’t tell you yet, that there is an original food offering around 7 am.

This is one of the reasons we recommend you leave early from the city so that you can see the ceremonies, sunset, and food.

When you return, you can stop at Wat Palad, a temple devoted to the forest monks, and this is your chance to visit this hidden gem, and you will be making memories along with you.

Wat Phra That at Doi Suthep is an amazing tourist attraction. Do not hesitate to visit this majestic temple, the view, clouds or not, are always stunning!
