Doi Suthep-Pui National Park is a national park of Thailand in Chiang Mai Province. It was established in 1981 covering 161 sq km, and expanded the following year to a total area of 261 sq km.
Doi Suthep-Pui National Park protects the fragile ecology of the forested mountain lands surrounding the famous Doi Suthep Temple. As with the temple, the national park took its name from the local mythological figure Rishi Warsuthep who is said to have dwelled in a cave in the mountains during the 7th century.
