[Thailand] You can actually climb it! Let's go to a giant pagoda!
Visited in August 2023
*Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon
Many of the ruins that attract many tourists are becoming less accessible as they used to be☺️
It is unavoidable in order to protect the precious ruins, but the giant pagoda of Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon can be accessed by climbing the stairs✨
Of course, many worshippers also visit the main hall, but the most famous one is this huge pagoda✨
The stairs are a little steep, so it is difficult, but you can feel a sense of accomplishment when you climb😊
This huge 72-meter-tall pagoda and the white nirvana object are also worth seeing and are highly recommended☺️

Go Lak, a palm garden for date lovers
"Ko Lak" Palm Garden is the first place to grow and sell Thai date palms. It is located on the Chiang Mai-Chai Prakan Road. The shop is decorated in Japanese style. There are Japanese style food and menus that use dates as ingredients, both savory and sweet dishes, drinks and various date products. We ordered the date papaya salad menu, which was delicious. We also tried the date ice cream, which was sweet and delicious, had a fragrant smell and was very refreshing.

Make merit at Wat Chaimongkol Chiang Mai
Wat Chaimongkol is located at 133 Charoen Prathet Road, Chang Klan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province.
Wat Chaimongkol is considered one of the oldest temples in Chiang Mai Province. This temple is over 600 years old. It was originally a Mon temple, Wat Maleo, which means dawn. Inside the temple, there is Phra Phuttha Chaimongkol, a brick or gilded Mara-Vijaya posture Buddha statue, which is the principal Buddha image in the chapel. It is a replica of the wall behind the principal Buddha image. There is a carved teak pulpit in the shape of a seven-headed naga, built in 1933.
After listening to the brief history of the temple, I will tell you that this temple is another temple that many people consider important for making merit, especially releasing birds and fish, because the temple is located next to the river. It is very convenient to get to. There is a large parking lot inside the temple. If you come to Chiang Mai Province, don't forget to pay homage and ask for blessings from the sacred objects of the temple. It is considered an auspicious thing for yourself.

Let's go on a trip.
Take Marin on a trip. She likes it very much. She's in a very good mood. She said she wants many people to come with her. There are only two of us. It's still not fun enough. Anyone interested in joining a trip or having the two of us go on Joy Tip, please contact me. I'm very happy. I want her to have friends to play with. She can go anywhere in any group. She gets along with everyone. She's not picky. She has every kind of driver's license. She has cars, boats, and planes. But there aren't any friends to go with.
