[2025 Pai Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Phra That Mae Yen (Updated Apr)

The day before the Sky Lantern Festival in Pai I came here at 5 o'clock to watch the sunset, but found vendors selling sky lanterns at the foot of the mountain, guessing there should be activities in the evening After sunset, it turned dark, and most of the people who stayed here were foreigners and some locals The monks began to chant After all the rituals were completed, they started to release sky lanterns The feeling at that time was spectacular and fantasy #Thailand Attractions#Overseas Travel

Wat Phra That Mae Yen is 3 km from the centre of Pai One of the most popular Buddhist temples in Pai to watch the sunset Located on a high mountain, you can look down at the beautiful sunset in Pai County Not far from the tourist area, you can walk here I came here at 5 o'clock and found that many people were also waiting for the sunset. There are not many locals, but mostly foreign tourists. The sunset shines golden on the white Buddha statue Worth a visit, free admission #ThailandAttractions#Sunset

this is absolutely gorgeous! among all the tourist attractions and viewpoints, I would say that this statue of Buddha with stairs has the best view of the surroundings of Pai. it’s a bit steep to walk up, but it’s worth it!!! you should be cautious about what you’re going to wear, no shorts will be recommended. it’s suppose to be a popular place to watch sunset, but unfortunately it closes at 6pm, and for the last few weeks, the weather in Pai has been quite rainy and cloudy, we went down right before 6. However, the view up there was stunning and breathtaking, you are able to see the river, the rice field and the village!#tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog

Wat Phra That Mae Yen is located in Ban Mae Yen, Mae Hee Subdistrict, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province, approximately 2 kilometers from Pai District. I must say that this is another beautiful place to visit in Pai, both in terms of Buddha statues and beautiful views of Pai. The highlight here is to test your courage by walking up more than 300 steps to pay homage to the large white Phra Phuttha Lokuttara Maha Muni on the top of the mountain. Seeing the number of steps may make you feel discouraged, but if you go up and see the view from the top, I believe that you will definitely be relieved! This place is also a beautiful 360-degree viewpoint. #NortheasternTeam #WaitingForTheDayToTravel #MissNature

The pagoda was built in an unknown period. It is located on a high hill. The area of ​​Wat Phra That Mae Nam Yen is quiet and peaceful. It is suitable for viewing the scenery of Pai District in full. The best time to visit is in the morning and at sunset. There is no record of the history of Wat Phra That Mae Yen when it was built. Inside the temple grounds, there is only a church and a white bell-shaped pagoda with a round base, approximately 3 meters high. It is outstanding with a Burmese-style umbrella on top. Tourists like to travel up to see and pay homage. #Waiting for the day to depart

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

#tripdiscount #Paidreamcity #slowlife #travelnorthern #MaeHongSonisgood Woke up early and went to find something to eat in Pai district. In the end, we ate rice porridge, noodles, and long fish balls. After we were full, we had a map to go worship at Wat Phra That Mae Yen, which is near the district. It is convenient to drive there, but when we got there, we had to walk up the stairs to worship the big Buddha, which took quite a bit of energy. But when we got to the top, we could see the view of Pai. I recommend coming early in the morning when the weather is nice so it won't be hot, but eat some rice before you run out of energy. 🤗

On the first day, when I stayed at the Big Tree Swing Inn in Pai, I saw the Buddha statue on the opposite side of the mountain from the room on the mountain. I felt particularly spiritual. It takes half an hour to drive to the Main Temple the next day. It is not necessary to buy tickets, but you need to step into the straight steps and climb up to level 353 to reach the Buddha image platform on the mountain. In the afternoon, when I came to the ground, I could only bounce quickly and walk. Unfortunately, the Buddha statue is being maintained. There is no temple that can be seen in the golden world. Only a white and white Buddha statue sits in the mountains and looks at the scenery under the mountain, like the patron saint.
