Wat Huay Pla Kang is Next Level

#summervacay Okay, Wat Huay Pla Kang totally blew my mind. You’ve probably seen pics of that giant white goddess statue sitting on a hill, that’s her. And let me tell you, she’s even more epic in real life. MASSIVE. Like, you can actually go inside her and take an elevator up to her third eye. Wild. The view from up there? Straight-up jaw-dropping. The temple complex has a little bit of everything, Chinese-meets-Thai architecture, a big 9-story pagoda, golden dragons swirling around staircases, and this peaceful vibe that makes you wanna just sit and soak it all in. It’s not just pretty, it’s got this calming, powerful energy. Best part? It’s not super crowded, especially if you go earlier in the day. Super photogenic, super peaceful, and the whole area is really well-kept. No entrance fee (just a small donation if you wanna take the lift). Honestly, Wat Huay Pla Kang is one of Chiang Rai’s top spots. Don’t skip it.
