Your guide will pick you up very early, around 4:45 am, from your hotel in Chiang Mai. Head to the city's main temple atop Suthep Mountain! You'll climb by car to the golden temple at the summit, ascending 306 steps surrounded by majestic nagas.

Absorb the serenity of this mountain sanctuary, enhanced by the monks' morning chants. Learn about the temple's significance from your guide. Until around 6:30 am, the temple remains beautifully illuminated, offering a unique chance for stunning photos in the tranquil morning setting.

At 7 am, witness the monks' procession for their daily food, provided by villagers and you. This nourishment is vital, as monks rely solely on donations. Capture memorable moments during the offering, as monks bless and thank you through collective chanting.

Afterwards, head to Wat Palad, a hidden jungle temple. A short walk reveals a serene environment, absent of mainstream tourism. Despite lacking grandeur, Wat Palad's natural surroundings, captivating statues, and unspoiled vegetation create a truly peaceful haven, rich in spirituality.
