Monks are standing at Doi Suthep temple and watching the Chiang Mai city from the top. The temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is certainly one of the most important temples in Chiang Mai. The elephant eventually climbed to the top of Suthep Mountain, trumpeted three times, turned around three times, knelt down and died. This was taken as a sign that this was the spot where the relic wanted to be, so King Ku Na built the original of the chedi on Doi Suthep at the end of 14th century.
