Visiting the White Buddha of Pai

The White Buddha of Pai - Wat Phra That Mae Yen ✨🛕 Perched on a hillside overlooking the lush valley of Pai, Wat Phra That Mae Yen—or the White Buddha Temple—offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in northern Thailand. To reach this serene spot, you’ll climb over 300 steps, but the reward? A majestic white Buddha gazing over the mountains, especially magical at sunset. 🌅 Best Time to Visit: Late afternoon for golden hour views (we went in the rain, which to be honest added an additional ambience 😂) 🛕 Why Go? Peaceful atmosphere, stunning scenery, and a glimpse into local spirituality 🎒 Tip: Bring water & take it slow—the steps can be a workout! #travel #thingstodo #buddha #thailand #southeastasia

Wat Phra That Mae Yen

The pagoda was built in an unknown period. It is located on a high hill. The area of ​​Wat Phra That Mae Nam Yen is quiet and peaceful. It is suitable for viewing the scenery of Pai District in full. The best time to visit is in the morning and at sunset. There is no record of the history of Wat Phra That Mae Yen when it was built. Inside the temple grounds, there is only a church and a white bell-shaped pagoda with a round base, approximately 3 meters high. It is outstanding with a Burmese-style umbrella on top. Tourists like to travel up to see and pay homage. #Waiting for the day to depart
