Beautiful Wat
This is a ‘three in one’ Buddhist temple located in Chiang Saen. We reached here, as part of a taxi tour to the golden triangle and the ruins at Chiang Saen. Our driver first drove us up the hill, to view the temple there. You can even walk up the hundreds of steps to get there if you have time and are fit to do so. From the top, we could see the Mekong river and the border of Laos. There is a Viharn and a white chedi here. There is a hall of sculptural bronze figures of great monk of the past. Images of Buddha are found both inside and outside the temple complex. There are washroom here. We were then driven to the temples below. The chief attraction was a bell-shaped chedi sited atop a large boulder, behind the viharn. The Viharn was closed probably for renovation, and we could not go in. There is a fish pond at the lowest level.

Good site to visit
One of the better temple sites to visit. The view is excellent. The temples are in good condition with a lot to see.
