Wat Huai Plakang, beautiful beyond imagination, Chiang Rai

Wat Huai Plakang in Chiang Rai Province is another destination that you must visit at least once. With its outstanding feature of the “Guan Yin” statue, which is over 70 meters tall and stands tall in the middle of the valley, it can be seen from afar, making this temple an important landmark of Chiang Rai that perfectly combines Chinese and Lanna art.

Inside the Guan Yin statue, you can take the elevator to the viewpoint at the eyes to see Chiang Rai from a high panoramic angle. There is also a 9-storey golden Kesa Kaew Chulamani pagoda, where you can enjoy walking and admiring the intricacies on each floor.

Wat Huai Plakang is open for free admission and offers a tram service up the hill for the elderly or those who are unable to walk up. You can drive from Chiang Rai city for only 15 minutes, or rent a songthaew from the city, which is also convenient. You can travel on a budget of no more than 500 baht per person.

Wat Huai Plakang is therefore not only a place of worship to enhance good fortune, but it is also a tourist attraction that deeply combines peace, beauty, and the power of faith. It is suitable for all ages who want to relax and open up new experiences in the northern region. #Get a discount without relying on luck #
