Doi Suthep Temple


Doi Suthep was the name of a really pretty temple up in the mountains. One of Chiang Mai's landmarks.
We of course decided to take the cable car up this time as we had done our walking up mountains to temples back in Jammu, India.
When we got to the top we found loads of large gold Buddha statue's and decorative temple buildings. There were loads of large bells that were rung for good luck. There were also these huge gongs that you would expect to see in a Buddhist temple. There was this one huuuuge brass bell there that was donated to the temple. In the centre of the temple area there was also a large golden spire.
