Location: Wat Phra That Doi Inthanon Noppamethanedon & Pagoda Nopphonphusiri: The Royal Pagodas of Mount Inthanon Summit Phra Maha That Noppamethanedon and Phra Maha That Nopphonphusiri Highlights: There are two pagodas. The brown pagoda was built in 1987 to honor King Bhumibol Adulyadej on his 60th birthday. The purple pagoda was built in 1992 to celebrate Queen Sirikit's 60th birthday. As you walk up, you can see the beautiful garden from afar. There is an escalator to the pagodas. Inside, there are Buddha statues and various sculptures. This place is about 2,100 meters above sea level, so even on a good weather day, the wind can still blow through the pagoda area. If you wear short clothes, the temple provides clothes for borrowing, but it is quite cold, so I borrowed some to wear. Today the weather is very nice, making the garden look even more beautiful. You can take a free shuttle from the parking lot to the site. 📍Address: HF3J+343, 1009, Ban Luang, Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai 50280

Hidden in the serene tranquility of Doi Inthanon National Park in Thailand are two architectural marvels, the intertwined sacred twins - Pra Mahatat Noppamethanedon and Pra Mahatat Nopphonphusiri. Erected in honor of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit's respective 60th birthdays, these two pagodas serve as enduring memorials. Nestled in the heart of the park, these magnificent edifices reach towards the heavens, framed by the verdant abundance of the park and the panoramic vistas beyond. Their architectural grandeur echoes the traditional Thai Buddhist temples' essence, infused with a contemporary touch that adds a dash of distinction. The interiors house Buddha relics and intricate murals depicting the life of Buddha, inviting a moment of quiet reflection. Outside, the beautiful surrounding gardens, adorned with vibrant flowers, offer a space of serene contemplation. The panoramic views of the park and the valleys from the pagodas' grounds are equally spellbinding. Embracing the ethos of peace and reverence, my visit to Pra Mahatat Noppamethanedon and Pra Mahatat Nopphonphusiri was a unique spiritual journey, intertwining natural beauty and profound symbolism, forever etched in my memory. #shopandtrip #myperfectstaycation #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #DoiInthanon #ThailandTravel #SacredJourney #BuddhistTemples #ArchitecturalMarvels #BhumibolAdulyadej #QueenSirikit #PeacefulReflection #NaturalBeauty #SpiritualJourney #couplestrip #deliciousfood #SacredTwins #TempleVisit #CulturalHeritage #BuddhaRelics #BuddhistMurals #SereneContemplation #ThaiTemples #IntricateDesigns #BuddhistTradition

Phra Maha That Naphamethinidon and Phra Maha That Naphaphonphumisiri are located at kilometer marker 41.5 on the left side. They were built by the Royal Thai Air Force in collaboration with the Thai people. Phra Maha That Naphamethinidon was constructed to honor King Bhumibol Adulyadej on the occasion of his 5th cycle birthday anniversary in 1987, and Phra Maha That Naphaphonphumisiri was built to honor Queen Sirikit on the occasion of her 5th cycle birthday anniversary in 1992. Both of these stupas have a similar shape, with a 12-sided base and two levels of glass balconies surrounding them. The top spire houses relics of the Buddha and worship statues. The surrounding area offers beautiful views of Doi Inthanon.

The two large commemorative pagodas are located on the summit of Doi Inthanon, surrounded by trees and mountain ranges that stretch as far as the eye can see. Inside, there are winter flower gardens, the Great Holy Relics, viewpoints, and souvenir shops. It is open for tourists to visit from the morning. Tourists who wish to visit will be charged a maintenance fee of 50 baht per person, which includes a shuttle service from the parking lot outside the park. Cars are not allowed to park inside the park; you need to drive a bit further to find the parking lot and shuttle service (near Kew Mae Pan parking lot). On the day of the visit, around 2 PM, there were not many tourists, but they kept coming. The weather was cool and very cold when the wind blew. Inside, it was comfortable to walk around, and the flowers were very beautiful.

The Royal Twin Pagoda is a great historical site in the city of Chain Mai. The pagodas were established to commemorate the 60th birthday of the great King and Queen near the top of the Doi Inthanon national park. The top of the pagodas goes up into the clouds and there are spiraling staircases and a provision of escalator for people with walking disabilities. Inside the pagodas is a beautiful statue of Buddha with stunning artworks.outside the landscape looks beautiful and pleasant. It’s a wonderful landmark surrounded by nature and greenery. #trip #Travel #Thailand #culture #Pagoda #chiangmai
