Wat Phra That Doi Kham is a revered Buddhist temple located on a hillside southwest of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Its name means “Temple of the Golden Mountain,” and it is known for its sacred atmosphere, panoramic views, and long-standing local devotion.

The temple complex sits on a forested hill overlooking the city and surrounding countryside. At its centre is a large seated Buddha statue, along with a golden chedi believed to house sacred relics. The site is especially famous for its stairway lined with Naga serpent sculptures, leading visitors upward through shaded trees and offering increasingly wide views of Chiang Mai’s plains and mountains.

Today, Wat Phra That Doi Kham remains an active place of worship and a popular destination for both pilgrims and visitors. Many people come to pay respects, make offerings, and view the famous giant Buddha statue. The temple is also associated with local beliefs in good fortune and wish fulfilment, making it one of the most spiritually significant sites in the region.
