This 3.5-hour evening bus tour in Chiang Mai visits two distinctive temples: Wat Umong and Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The tour starts with a hotel pickup in the downtown area between 4:30 and 5:40 PM, depending on your accommodation location. The first stop is Wat Umong, a forest temple built inside tunnels dating back to 1297. Visitors can walk through these tunnels and view the ancient Buddha images. After about 30 minutes at Wat Umong, the tour continues to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. At Doi Suthep, guests climb a staircase of 306 steps decorated with a dragon-headed serpent (Naga) leading up to the temple. For those unable to climb, a funicular railway is available. At the top, the temple features a golden Lanna-style pagoda covered with engraved gold plates and four ornamental umbrellas. From this mountain location, there is a notable night view of Chiang Mai city. Visitors should wear clothes covering shoulders and knees to enter the temples. The tour includes round-trip hotel transfers, admission fees, a licensed English-speaking guide, air-conditioned transport, and travel accident insurance. A cable car fee is not included. The tour runs even during the rainy season, so bring rain protection if needed.
