How big is it? Doi Suthep

[iGotNoTime]

Betti has been writing on Doi Suthep temple lately and as a farang who has never seen it, I wonder about it. Does anyone know the rough dimensions if it? how much land is it sitting on? How many tourists see it daily, and how many natives see it daily?

I'm feeling lazy today, so:
this describes the layout well

and this seems to be the official website of the temple
http://www.doisuthep.com/english.html

I haven't found data on the area or the number of visitors. I would say over half are Thai. late afternoons are the best to avoid the big crowd, the lights are also better.
I found the altitude: 1676 metres.

the area is very nicely visible in google earth! maybe that can give you an indication of the area.
