Transportation
Pu Ping Palace is built on the Sute Shan Mountain and is 4 kilometers away from Shuanglong Temple. You can visit it together with Sute Shan. From Shuanglong Temple, you can take a car for 20 baht per person to Pu Ping Palace, but sometimes the car won't be dispatched if there are not enough passengers, so it's more convenient to hire a car.
