Nowadays fortunately there is a electric train lift taking tourists up to the temple, starts just east of the parking lot. Visit there in the morning to have a clear view over Chiang Mai.

The nearby city toward the east of this location is Chiang Mai, the largest city in northern part of Thailand. Once it was an independent Kingdom. It was annexed to Thailand (then Siam) about 200 years ago.

Look out for an amazing square canal system if you scroll to the right over the city. I suppose it is some ancient defense system but impressive engineering no matter when it was built.

What’s really amazing (as well) is that there are large houses farther up the mountain, above the little wispy clouds. No roads to them either. Still looking for the ‘Enter the Dragon’ palace up there…
