Very beautiful, idyllically situated temple on the way from Chiang Mai to Wat Doi Suthep.
Beautifully integrated into the landscape, great views of the valley; unfortunately also visited by groups because the temple can also be reached by road - and so you need a bit of luck to enjoy the temple in peace
