Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan, Mae Tha District, Lampang
Another recommended place in Lampang
Here is a large green Buddha statue
The temple is decorated to give you a feeling like you've been transported to Japan
And it's also a very beautiful viewpoint of Lampang
You can come to see the fog in the morning
.
It takes about 30-40 minutes to drive from Lampang city
When Yui went, we went on a weekday
You can drive up there yourself, but there's very little parking
If anyone comes, I recommend parking in the parking lot
And take a local's car up, it's more convenient
The fare is 20 baht per person
Or if you have good legs, you can walk up
There are only about six hundred steps of stairs ^^

Wat Phra That Doi Chan: A Beautiful Temple in Lampang
This temple is a perfect example of Lanna architecture, showcasing the essence of Thai culture. The temple features various beautiful images and Buddha statues made of clear glass, intricately carved and stunningly beautiful. The temple grounds are serene and peaceful, making it an ideal place to seek blessings, enjoy the atmosphere, and take in the panoramic views of Lampang and Mae Tha. It is conveniently located about 2 hours from Chiang Mai or Phitsanulok.
Lampang is very cold.
Still in Lampang #Lampang is very cold
Today, I will take you to an unseen place in Lampang, which is Wat Doi Phra Yan.
Wat Lanna, a Japanese-style temple.
If you come early, you will see a clear sea of fog. There is a fee to go up to see the fog and the temple above, 50 baht per person, which is a temple maintenance fee. It is worth it.
When you come up and see the Big Buddha, you will definitely feel that it is worth it because it is a perfect blend of Lanna. It is strange that it is a landmark of Lampang Province. If anyone goes to Lampang, I would recommend this place again.

- At the Phra That courtyard, you can offer flowers, incense, and candles, walk around the stupa, or meditate.

Japan & Thailand Mixed culture found at Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan
More than 80% of Thai are Buddhist and visiting temples during weekend or when travelling around for good luck, healthy, and prosperity are very common not only in Thailand but also when travelling abroad in Asia; China, Japan, India, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, etc.
An evidence found at Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan #wat phra that doi phra chan in Lampang Province #travellampang where the Green Buddha "Luang Por Daibutsu" was built at the top of the mountain. On one hand, I found that it is a great idea so Thai people who cannot afford for a trip to Kamakura, Japan #daibutsukamakura are able to pay respect to him in Thailand. On the tourism's point of view, it represents the influence of Japanese culture in Thai life from Manga in a childhood to cars we use, and other household product.
Did you see this similar mixed culture in your country?

It is about 20 kilometers away from the city of Lampang. The temple is on a mountain. You have to take a songthaew to go up. The fare is only 20 baht per person. The view from the top is very beautiful. The Buddha statue has a Japanese feel. It is a city that you must not miss.

Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan, Mae Tha District, Lampang Province
Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan, Mae Tha District, Lampang Province, is a landmark of Lampang Province. There is a large Buddha statue on the mountaintop. It is a Buddha statue in the Dhyana Mudra (Meditation posture) with a lap width of 14 meters. It is made of copper and is prominently enshrined on a hill. It looks similar to the Buddha statue at Kotoku Temple in Kamakura, Japan. It feels like you have flown to pray in Japan. The temple is open from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. On weekdays, you can drive up by yourself, but on holidays, you have to take a songthaew up. I can tell you that if you come to Lampang and don't come here, it would be a big mistake. #Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan #Lampang Province Temple #Visit Lampang #Attractions in Lampang

However, if you come on the weekends, when there are a lot of tourists, the parking lot up there is limited. It is difficult to drive up the mountain. Tourists must park their cars in the parking lot below and use the local car service to go up. For the recommended time, if you want to see the sunrise and the morning mist, arrive around 6.30 am. From the parking lot, we stopped at the temple first to see the sunrise and the mist. At the front entrance, there are statues of various sacred objects. and 5 golden Buddha statues. The chedi is white with a golden umbrella on top. Next is the temple, built in a beautiful and graceful contemporary Lanna style. #Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan
