Doi Pui (Thai: ดอยปุย), is a mountain ("doi") west of Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is 1,685 metres (5,528 ft) in elevation and is one of the twin peaks of a granite mountain. The other peak is known as Doi Suthep and is slightly lower at 1,676 metres (5,499 ft), where the archaeological site of San Ku (สันกู่) temple, a Buddhist temple dating to approximately 800 years old, is located. The peak is situated in a protected area of Doi Suthep–Pui National Park just to the west of Ban Khun Chang Khian, a White Hmong village located 1,350 metres (4,430 ft) above sea level that was founded in 1955.[1]

History

In 1957, the original evergreen forest was replaced with Cupressus torulosa and Pinus kesiya trees.[1]

Access

From the south, there are trails going up to the summit from a campground. From the east, trails lead to the summit from the Hmong village of Khun Chang Khian.
