Wat Phra That Mae Chedi, Another Beautiful and Serene Temple in Chiang Rai.
Normally, when traveling from Chiang Mai to visit Chiang Rai, I hardly ever stop to seriously explore along the way, except for a break or a meal. But this time, I found a beautiful and prominent temple, "Wat Phra That Mae Chedi," a temple paired with Wiang Pa Pao District, Chiang Rai Province. Anyone who is going to Chiang Rai or from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai must stop to admire its beauty. Besides its beauty, the temple also stands out for its historical significance as it is an ancient temple built by King Anurutha Mangsor, the first king of the Pugam Dynasty. Inside the temple, there is a museum to visit, with ancient and beautiful artifacts of great value. It's worth a visit at least once. You can also come to meditate and practice Dhamma, as it is a peaceful place surrounded by nature.
Coordinates: Wat Phra That Mae Chedi is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, Chiang Rai Province.
The temple is open to visitors every day from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
