Doi Saket
| Route H118. 50km return. Half to one Day. Frequent buses to Chiang Rai on H118 only.
Highway 118 goes almost straight to Doi Saket, where there is a temple on a low hill. Combine this with a trip to the Wang Tarn Resort for a quiet, easy trip. For a different route back to Chiang Mai, you may take R1014 from the market of Doi Saket. The road goes to the handicrafts village of Bo Sang.

 Wat Doi Saket |
15km |
The temple sits atop a low hill reached by a naga stairway (a road to the right of the stairway leads up to the back of the temple). At the top a small grotto with mythical statues lies to the left. The unique decorations of the viharn include unusual stucco motifs and murals. Artist Chaiwat Wannanon took four years in the early 1990's to paint the murals in a magic realist style. The temple grounds contain a monastic school and a giant seated Buddha image.
