Phra Kru Ba Sriwichai Monument
is a memorial to a devout Buddhist monk who built the road up to Doi Suthep Temple. Residents of Chiang Mai pay respect to him at the monument located at the end of Huay Kaew Road before they continue their drive to the hilltop Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.

Wat Prathat Doi Suthep
is set on the peak of Doi Suthep. It has a panoramic view of Chiang Mai and the Mae Ping River valley. Although Wat Doi Suthep is recently built, it is the symbol of Chiang Mai. The site was selected by sending an elephant, carrying a holy relic, to roam at will up the mountainside. When the elephant reached this spot, it trumpeted, circled three times, and knelt down indicating that this was an auspicious site.
