Visiting Chiang Mai / Wat Doi Suthep
Hi there, I will be in Chiang Mai for three days. I plan to see Wat Doi Suthep. I am usually more Mahayana and I have never visited a Thai temple. I would like to ask if there is anything that wouldnt be obious to me that I would want to follow to be respectful.. Is it ok to wear shorts? When do I remove my shoes?

Re: Visiting Chiang Mai / Wat Doi Suthep
Doi Suthep is a tourist site, so it doesn't really matter if you wear shorts and you remove your shoes when you come to a doorway where there is a large number of shoes.
There is a meditation centre attached but unfortunately 3 days wouldn't be enough for that.

Pronouns (no self / not self)
“Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.”
― Ajahn Chah
