VERY strict rules on attire. Cover knees and shoulders with thick material of you can be bothered to go here. Rude staff on the door. We had read too many bad review to bother hiring more clothing. (The outfit we tried to go in with had been fine for all other attractions in Bangkok etc).

Hiked from Doi Suthep to Bhubing Palace. We got to Doi Suthep by red truck and then we walked on main road, later the road narrowed. There is no trail and traffic is higher but ok, walking 🚶♀️ is ok due to relatively good space on wider road. Later on narrower road it is only for one car so people, motorbikes 🏍 and cars 🚙 need to be careful. It is hiking 🥾 from 1,000m to 1,600m. Good shoes 👞, water and snack needed. You can continue to Doi Pui view point- great place to see the jungle from top. It is short walk for 15min. Bhubing Palace we saw from outside as we forgot to take proper dress 👗

We went in the rainy season and the place was shrouded in cloud but it was hot, so much like walking around in a sauna.
The palace was closed as where many parts of the garden which was frustrating.
Glad I went but would only go again if I could see more of it!!

After spending a few weeks in Chiang Mai, my husband and I felt a duty to make the trip to Doi Suthep. The gardens were our favorite part, the temple wasn't too exciting for us. One big tip I have is that once you get to the temple, use Uber to get to the gardens. It was cheaper and much faster than the red trucks. The Red Truck from the zoo takes you to the temple, then you have to switch trucks, but wait for them to fill it, which was taking forever, so we called an Uber, and it was cheaper! Uber up and down the mountain is too expensive.
As far as the garden goes, I went all the way around the reservoir, and wasn't sure it was worth it, until we saw the giant bamboo grove. Very cool

It cost B50 to enter and B400 for a buggy ride around the palace, you will be taken to around 10 different stops to take photos and you need to be as quick as you can, you will be prompted to hurry up by the driver. he will have you around it 15-20 mins.
You can walk around the palace but I would only suggest you doing this in the heat if you are physically fit. Take plenty of fluids with you.
There are a few restaurants around the car park

If you like plants and beautiful flowers this is a "must see" 4Km above the Wat Phrathat Doi we paid to enter and the had to pay 15Bht to cover our legs, it takes aprox 1 hour to walk all around or you can pay 40 Bht for a golf cart to drive you around, came in very handy as the driver was great with the camera, got some beautiful photos. Best pats for me was the water reservoir with the fountains and lovely flowers and the Queens rose garden

I was intending to visit Doi Suthep Temple only, but I saw a board giving direction to Bhubing palace, so decided to visit it. Thanks to my curiousity, I had a wonderful visiting.
The palace is only about 10-15 minute driving from Doi Suthep. The roas is extremely beautiful with lots of tree and good road condition. It costs 30 bath per person to visit Bhubing Palace.
So many flowers at various kind and colors, all blooming in glorious sunshine. It was really amazing to see roads inside the garden with flower everywhere. You can spend 45 minute - 1 hour walking under the shade, take photos, enjoy natural colors and enjoy peaceful moments in Chiang Mai. There's a palace where the Kings used to stay, but we were not allowed to visit. So sad. It is a nice wooden house on the top of the hill, looking down a big pond with lots of flower surrounding.
Don't forget your sunglasses and camera, because the beauty of the lanscape is just wonderful. I totally recommend this place if you are a nature lovers :)

not so nice staff at the entrance, although we were dressed appropriately, we were still sent to rent trousers from a shop nearby due to our trousers not being sufficiently thick, although we never had such issues in temples or other royal palaces in thailand. nothing special about the palace, gardens were average, would not place it on the must visit list

Bhubing Palace is a must see place if you plan to visit Chiang Mai. It's a huge garden full of many plants such as different kinds of roses, orchids and many other plants. If you love nature, this is for you. It's cool under the mini forest area where you can relax after a long walk. Wearing of sleeveless and shorts are not allowed to enter the area.
