Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is a Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. The temple is often referred to as Doi Suthep although this is actually the name of the mountain it is located on. Within the site are pagodas, statues, bells and shrines.
Aspects of the Wat draw from both Buddhism and Hinduism. There is a model of the Emerald Buddha and a statue of the Hindu God Ganesh. Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, a place of reverence and worship, was established by King Kuena in the year B/E 1916.
