Doi Suthep is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Chiang Mai city center. The vegetation below 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) is mostly deciduous forest, with evergreen forest above this elevation. Originally, before the Doi Suthep forest was declared a national park, a royal decree in 1949 designated it as a protected forest.
