Ssanglong Temple is on Suthep Mountain. From Chiang Mai University, take a double car to and from 80 baht per person. It takes about half an hour for one way. The driver will give you an hour and then return. From the parking lot to Ssanglong Temple, you have to climb 306 steps. There are many little girls with local ethnic costumes along the way. Tickets are 30 baht per person. The most famous in the temple is the Shwedagon Pagoda. There are also 5 valuable elements, including Huagai, Golden Fence, four-corner clock tower, etc.; on the viewing platform, you can overlook the panoramic view of Chiang Mai, but unfortunately the visibility was not very good yesterday.

    A lot of people there but it’s worth for the great view about the whole city and area around Chiang Mai. Quite a few steps to climb up and a good car is recommended for the way up the mountain.

    Amazing temple to visit. Have to climb the stars to reach the temple. For those that are unable to climb, there is a lift to bring you up the temple. Beautiful view from the temple courtyard, able to see Chiang Mai international airport from the temple. There is also a cafe selling hot coffee that’s reasonable priced

    Beautiful temple in the mountain! We took a bike and enjoyed the ride up. The view of the city was amazing from the temple.. Had a great time! And on our way back, enjoyed some Pad kra pao at a local restaurant for lunch.

    Shuanglong Temple is located on Suthep Mountain in Chiang Mai. Because it is the peak season, I participated in the half-day trip of travel fun. The whole journey was explained by the Thai guide to buy tickets for everyone, making the visit process very easy and easy! Since Chiang Mai is a city of thousands of Buddhas, the size of the temples can not be counted, and the obvious feature is that the temple entrance is generally carved with two guardian dragons! Therefore, our local tour guide lamented two sentences: "I don't know why the Chinese call this Shuanglong Temple, we call it Suthep Temple in Chiang Mai, in fact, there are shuanglongs lying on the ladder wall of the main entrance of most temples in Chiang Mai..." after entering the entrance of the monastery, There is a big black clock, which is said to be given by China! On the other side there is a white elephant statue, only because of the memorial of the sacred white elephant and the statue, and the story about it: it is said that it carried Buddha Sheri on its back more than 600 years ago, and led the way to the place where it is located today, Suthep Temple. The white elephant died after a few rounds in place to show that Buddha wanted to stay there. Then the Lanna royal family built a pagoda at the white elephant stop to support the Shelizi, which was the original form of the original Suthep Temple. In the next hundred years, the stone steps along the hillside were slowly built, and the sky ladders of 306 steps were now worth it, and two dragons were carved from the top to the end on its two sides. The dragon heads of each dragon were all colored and patterned seven heads of Naga. The expression of the seven dragons is really very pleasing. According to the tour guide, not all the dragons on the ladder in front of the temple can be carved with seven heads of Naga, only the temple ordered by the king and prince to build allows Naga, who guards the ladder, to have seven heads! Step into the courtyard of the monastery, surrounded by corridors, each side of the corridor is placed in many Buddha statues, the wall of the corridor wall also depicts many religious stories murals. In addition, the most shocking is the golden spire of the temple in the middle of the tower, the golden guard around the tower, and the four gold covers, all of which are covered with gold! Plus, there are gold Buddhas around the guard of the tower. Plus the manna on the top of the tower is also cast in gold, everything is pure gold color! In the dazzling sun, it is shining, extremely brilliant. Then the tour guide suggested that we can participate in the prayer, or with the Thai faithful, hold a rose or take a plastic page with the translation of the mantra, and make a wish around the Sherry Tower after reading three times... You can understand some Thai Buddhist rituals, It's also a worthwhile trip.

    In addition to the glory, I can no longer think of other words to describe this place. It is super shocking and the feeling of gold. For people who don’t believe in Buddha, this is a beautiful attraction. You can see the entire Chiang Mai scenery on the observation deck. If the night view will be more beautiful, For the believers, this is a holy place to pray, and to see people as if they were religious, as if their hearts would become particularly peaceful. Many people know that you have to take off your shoes when you enter the temple. I want to remind you that the temperature in Thailand is very high, and the floor tiles in the temple are some like tiles. It is super hot. It is really super hot. Contact to wear thick socks.

    The Shuanglong Temple on Suthep Mountain is best for watching the night view of Chiang Mai. It is recommended that you travel on a staggered peak and choose to visit at 7 pm, because you can avoid the flow of people, and you can see the night view of Chiang Mai and the magnificent Shuanglong Temple. It is definitely an unforgettable journey. Special reminder: Shuanglong Temple seems to be banned from tourists after 8:30 pm, so remember!

    The must-go Shuanglong Temple in Chiang Mai is located on Suthep Mountain! The information of the Raiders is still more accurate! But if you go up the mountain, it is recommended to go to the gate of Chiang Mai Zoo to carpool, 40 one-way, 80 back and forth! Generally, you will be asked to go back and forth! You can talk about it in advance! They only sit on the business of going up the mountain! Instead of the gate of Chiang Mai University mentioned before! Now the tickets for foreign tourists are basically charged 30! Someone will collect tickets outside! The scenery is still good, many locals will circle the Golden Pagoda and pray for the king of Thailand!

    This is the first day of my trip to Chiang Mai and one of the most important trips. Shuanglong Temple is the home of my Thai teacher. Every time I talk about things here, I vaguely feel that his eyes are always full of tears and thoughts. So I came with the teacher's thoughts, and replaced him with my eyes to see the home he grew up in. It is said that the plan of the day is in the morning. I got up early in the morning and had a breakfast. I changed to the beautiful Hanfu (remember that the temple is to have long shirts and trousers) and waited for the driver to pick me up at the hotel. As soon as I arrived, I took the elevator to the temple under the guidance of the tour guide (the teacher said that there was no one before, and I had to climb a long staircase). When I went up to the temple, I felt so quiet here. Although the morning sun was also very fierce, but the shade of the tree and the mountain wind, the whole person felt so comfortable and comfortable. Drag the shoes and walk in, you can see the legendary golden pagoda of a few Sherizi brought by a high monk, this is the most eye-catching one. Then I am looking for the teacher's master, the master who adopted him. There were a lot of interesting accidents between them, which made me especially want to meet this lovely old man. Unfortunately, I didn't see it, I only saw uncle Shi, and asked him to sprinkle holy water for me to pray for good health. I took the teacher's thoughts around the temple. I was really comfortable and unwilling to leave. I hope I can come to meditation next time. The trip for a clock seems too short. I personally recommend traveling here freely, sitting in the shade of the trees, blowing the mountain breeze, and seeing children who have been carrying English, so the environment is not the rhythm of wanting to go. But it will be hot after noon, and it is not acceptable for a person from the subtropical area, haha. When I went down the mountain, I chose to walk down. On the way, I met a seller who was singing Deng Lijun's "Sweet Honey" and really, in Chiang Mai, you can see Deng Lijun's "shadow" everywhere.
