Wat Doi Suthep: Legend and Beauty of Chiang Mai's Iconic Temple

📍Wat Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai. . . I love the legend behind why this beautiful temple was built - some time in the 1300s a monk found a bone believed to be buddhas shoulder bone (🤷🏼‍♀️) The king at the time ordered it be placed on a white elephant who then left and climbed a mountain (Doi Suthep), he stopped, trumpeted three times and then died - this was seen as a sign and the king ordered this temple be built in that exact spot 😁 There’s a statue of the white elephant in the grounds here 🐘👌🏻 . . . #doisuthep #chiangmaithailand #chiangmai #temples #chiangmaitrip #norththailand #thailandtrip #globe_travel_ #legends #teamkaptainkenny #exploretheworld #thailandgram #travelinspirers #nikond3400 #ldr #exploretheglobe #nikonphotographer #gltlove #tblogger #thailand_allshots #goeverywhere #thailandinstagram #travelmore #thailand🇹🇭
