The Monks Trail (Wat Pha Lad nature trail) in Chiang Mai is a hike of about 2 kilometers and an elevation of 1.073 meters.
The trail leads up to the Buddhist temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a temple that is very sacred to many Thai people. Besides the religious importance, it is a very beautiful temple (with a stunning view of Chiang Mai).
The day I did the hike, it was 39 degrees (102 Fahrenheit), which made it extremely hot and strenuous. Make sure you bring lots of water!
If you are not keen on hiking, there is a normal road for cars, taxi etc.
About me 👨
My name is Alex, and in December of 2023, I quit my job, sold my apartment and all my belongings to pursuit a lifelong dream of traveling full time.
The idea of traveling solo, as a middle-aged man, is both exciting and daunting, so I decided to bring my camera, and document my experiences. Not only to share my journey but also in the hopes of showing how amazing and wonderful traveling and the world truly is. 🌍
My goal is to visit the traditional sights as well as the lesser-known places - on a budget - and do some volunteer work with animals whenever possible.
