Wat Pha Lat

The hidden temple

Wat Pha Lat is a hidden gem of Chiang Mai, located just a few miles below Doi Suthep in the forest. This Buddhist temple is probably the most peaceful one can find in Chiang Mai. The temple site is unique and blends harmoniously into the natural environment on a cliff and borders a waterfall. The only way to reach Wat Pha Lat is the "Monk's Trail", marked by trees wrapped in the usual orange cloth used by the monks to get dressed, and leading moderately uphill for about 45 minutes. Once you've reached the temple, you'll realize that a 45-minute hike is a breeze, measured at the first sight of the staircase, which is decorated with two dragons and ending abruptly at the edge of the waterfall. It is simply amazing.

Note: we recommend wearing good shoes and bring some pieces of clothing to cover your shoulders and/or thighs in the temple

Just remember that Huay Kaew is actually a wet-weather fall meaning that flow can be extremely low to completely dry during dry season and - being that close to the city, it is likely that there will be quite some people there.
