“A scenic viewpoint overlooking Chiang Mai city and the surrounding mountains, with food and drink vendors nearby — an excellent place to admire the city, especially during sunset.”
This viewpoint is located on Highway 1004, the road leading up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Ratchaworawihan. Although the area is not very large, it offers clear and expansive views of Chiang Mai city and the surrounding mountain ranges. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it a great spot to relax and take photos of the natural scenery.
Currently, there are no food or drink vendors at this viewpoint, so visitors are advised to bring their own refreshments.
While the sunset is less spectacular here due to the sun setting behind Doi Suthep, the overall cityscape and mountain views remain impressive and memorable.
