Here in Lampang, it's like being transported to Japan 🇯🇵
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 Phra Chan, Lampang.
#TravelLampang This is a beautiful and famous temple in Mae Tha District, Lampang Province. It is located on Doi Phra Chan. On holidays, you need to buy a shuttle ticket from the temple, which costs 20 baht per person per trip. The temple is divided into two zones: the Japanese Zone and the Thai Zone. The highlight of the Japanese Zone is the large Japanese-style Buddha, the Great Daibutsu, with lanterns, wishing plaques, and gates that make you feel like you are in Japan. There is also a coffee shop for relaxation.
In the Thai Zone, you will find a beautiful Lanna-style viharn and many scenic spots for taking photos.
When visiting Lampang, don't forget to visit this temple. Highly recommended ❤️
Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan

You can either take a car or walk up to the top. There is a shuttle service available, costing 20 baht for the trip up and 20 baht for the trip down. If you are visiting Lampang, I highly recommend stopping by. 💓💓💓💓💓💓
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?

Pay homage to the Buddha statue of Lampang at Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan
#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน
Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan, if the sky is clear, it will be a temple with a very beautiful morning view. You can come to see the sunrise. And in the late rainy season, early winter like this, there will be a sea of fog for you to see.
The highlight is the large Buddha statue, which the owner of the temple got the inspiration from traveling to Japan and wanted to build at his own temple. Inside the temple, there are two parts. There is the chapel in the front, which offers a panoramic view of greenery. And the garden and surrounding area are decorated in Japanese style to match the Buddha statue.
If anyone comes to Lampang, I recommend that you come here. It is very beautiful. It is not far from the city, about 30 minutes by car. The temple opens from 6 am to 4:30 pm.

Beauty of Tranquility @ Doi Pra Chan
In the peaceful Lampang province, Thailand, we found the stunning and serene temple Wat Pra That Doi Pra Chan.
This Buddhist temple, designed in Thai and Japanese architectural styles, located at the top of Doi Pra Chan mountain in Mae Tha, Lampang, offering visitors a breathtaking panoramic view from its elevated grounds.
One of the temple's highlights is a remarkable replica of the Great Buddha Daibutsu of Japan at the temple's highest point. In addition to the beautiful religious sculptures, pagodas, and buildings, there are many nice spots perfect for photography enthusiasts, making every corner memorable for pictures.
Accessing the temple can be done either via the Songthaew Shuttle Service or by the staircase, which is more difficult and challenging.
Our visit left us feeling blessed, having experienced a sense of peace and tranquility within the temple's sacred grounds.

Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan, a must-see for those who love merit…
Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan is located in Pa Tan Subdistrict, Mae Tha District, Lampang Province. It is a temple located on a quiet mountain called Doi Phra Chan. You can see the beautiful scenery and landscape of Mae Tha District. During the rainy season and winter, in the morning, you can see the sea of fog mixed with beautiful light. In addition to the temple built with beautiful Lanna architecture, there is also the Big Buddha, a large green Buddha statue, which is another latest landmark of Doi Phra Chan that you don't have to go all the way to Japan. Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan is located about 23 kilometers from Lampang city. The last road is an uphill road. It is quite narrow but not too steep. All types of vehicles can drive up. Even those who are not good at driving uphill can drive. The road is well paved. On weekdays, you can drive up to the temple and park. 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

Challenging 8,000 “Stairs to the SKY HIKE!”
This is by far and large one of my favorite temples in all of Thailand and most certainly in Chiang Mai.
This 14th century Buddhist temple and pilgrimage site, known locally as Wat Doi Suthep (and pronounced “Doy Soo-tep”) is located within Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, about 40 minutes outside of Chiang Mai.  The stunning architecture you see in the photos are even more incredible when you visit this temple on the mountain. Be prepared to climb 10,000 stairs along gorgeous staircase leading up to the top of the mountain.
