Visiting the White Buddha of Pai

The White Buddha of Pai - Wat Phra That Mae Yen ✨🛕 Perched on a hillside overlooking the lush valley of Pai, Wat Phra That Mae Yen—or the White Buddha Temple—offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in northern Thailand. To reach this serene spot, you’ll climb over 300 steps, but the reward? A majestic white Buddha gazing over the mountains, especially magical at sunset. 🌅 Best Time to Visit: Late afternoon for golden hour views (we went in the rain, which to be honest added an additional ambience 😂) 🛕 Why Go? Peaceful atmosphere, stunning scenery, and a glimpse into local spirituality 🎒 Tip: Bring water & take it slow—the steps can be a workout! #travel #thingstodo #buddha #thailand #southeastasia
