Tranquil Buddha park on the top of the mountain

Deep in the green mountainous zone of Phrae with around 30 minute driving from the city, there is a serene Buddha park hidden on the mountain. After parking a vehicle, ones have to climb up the stairs to visit an imitation of sacred places in Myanmar like Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (also known as “The Golden Rock” ; the rock looks like it is balanced on a ridge, about to fall down at any moment) and the famous Shwedagon Pagoda. The place also contains several Buddha images including "Phra pud" (the upper half of a large golden Buddha statue which seems to emerge from the ground) and Lanna style jade Buddha. Moreover, from the Golden Rock plateau, you will see an epic panoramic view of abundant forest and green mountains.

    Golden Stupa
    Large golden stupa in the middle of a beautiful temple which is the best known in Phrae. God place for merit, and walk with prayer around stupa 3 times!
