5.0Wat Chaloem Phrakiat Phrachomklao Rachanuson(91 reviews) - Drop by for some good exercise if you don't mind the high foreigner charges. Nice views Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites • Scenic Walking Areas
Nice but feel the charges for foreigners as usual is unreasonably high. Due to that I feel it's ok to come here if you're in the area, but is it worth it to make a special trip? You park at the base, buy your entrance fees, tickets for the ride in the pickup up to the intermediate level. Get out the pickup then start walking. Lots of steep steps going up. The steps are well made. There's some signage along the way explaining things. All in Thai. You would think that after charging the foreigners much higher fees to enter the area they would at least take the trouble to translate the text into foreign language. View of the pagoda at the top is nice, as the pics you see. However the pictures of the top from the drones are much more impressive than your view from where you can stand. Would I go again? Probably not due to the charges. Been there done that. Would I go again if the prices were more reasonable? Only if I was in the area.See more..

Located on the roadside near the clock tower, the gorgeous Lanna style white temple was established over 300 years ago by evacuated Chiang Rai lord as a memorial to his hometown (that's why it is called Chiang Rai temple).

If you fancy climbing 600 Steps in a very nice forest surrounding and get a great view of the city, then please go there. But if you want to see nice temple, well maintained etc... go away.

Disgrace and shame on Thailand.See more..
