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, known as Doi Suthep, 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.
