It's a hidden gem. What a beautiful, peaceful and quiet place with a small water fall, mountain view and forest settings. Mature trees and bamboo trees. A few monks there meditating and a few people there to enjoy the beautiful architecture of temple and monestry. There's a walking trail there you can walk for hours but take a plenty of water to hydrate yourself as it can be very hot. I truly enjoyed this place and recommended for nature lovers. If you are a meditator, you will love the peacefulness in this place.

Wow. What else could I say... I hiked the Monk's Trial spontaneously whilst in Chiang Mai. I was greeted with this minor paradise at the end of the trail. As I was short on time, I took an open back taxi to the start of the trail, hiked up and spent a good few hours at this location. A wonderful, tranquil Buddhist site amongst the hills that I wanted to stay at much longer than I could in the end. If you have the chance to visit, please do.

After 4 decades of many attempts, me and my family trooper has already succeeded in visiting this long-established temple. Instantly stunned by the intensive tranquility and exquisiteness of architecture. In our consensus, this place was best suitable for meditation and finding inner peace within the natural embrace. Looking forward to coming back again, especially when rainy season started to subside to discover another aspect of its amazingness.

Amazing place!! Do the trekking trail that starts down below the mountain. It’s not hard, but has some challenging parts.

Up above in the temple, the water sound and the birds makes you feel in peace.

Probably the most favourite place in Chiang Mai. Beautiful temple with architectural history. Jedi aged more then 700 years old, build before Chiang Mai itself. Peaceful calm water stream run through. Sit on the rock and hear water run, birds sing and crickets sound amid the nature. Best place for meditation.

This is easily by far my favourite temple I've visited. The sights of Chiang Mai from over the waterfall are next to none.

We visited just before sunset and saw the city lit up with sunlight.

It was free to enter and it was possible to walk all the way down to the city from here.

There is a lovely pagoda with a bell that can be rung and instructions for those who are not sure what to do.

Cannot recommend visiting this hidden gem on your way to or from Doi Sethup!

My favourite temple in Chiang Mai. Very beautiful and serene and made in the Burmese style with peacocks and the different style of Buddha. Can spend an entire day here. The setting in the forest is also very peaceful. Definitely a must see when you are in Chiang Mai.
