Tips from locals
Beautiful temple high above with very few people. Doi saket temple is quiet and meditation is good place. In evening you must be seeing sunset and the village viewing are found. It locates on the way to Chiang Rai so it is good to combine it with your trip.
The temple at Doi Saket is similar to the Doi Suthep Temple, yet smaller in size. The entrance to the temple (as is the case at Doi Suthep) has a steep set of stairs leading to the temple. The most prominent feature of the Doi Saket Temple is the giant golden sitting Buddha (Phra Buddha Pathimakorn), visible from the road leading to the temple. The interior walls of the temple are decorated with modern spiritual murals, painted by Khun Chaiwat Wannanon. Normally modern art is not featured in Buddhist temples in Thailand, so this is somewhat unique to Doi Saket. There is also a monastic school located on the grounds of the temple.

Doisaket temple is one of the beautiful temple you can see here. It's located on the moutain near Doisaket-market.
