Pay homage to Luang Pho Pha Ngao, an ancient temple in Chiang Saen.
#ChiangraiTravel
One of the old temples that if you come to Chiang Saen, you must not miss it at all. You must come to pay homage to Luang Pho Pha Ngao.
Location: Wat Phra That Pha Ngao
Location: Wiang Subdistrict, Chibong Saen District, Chiang Rai Province
Wat Phra That Pha Ngao has many places that you should not miss.
Let's start with the Ubosot of Luang Pho Pha Ngao. Inside the Ubosot, Luang Pho Pha Ngao is enshrined. At present, some parts of the statue have deteriorated due to time. Therefore, the temple has built a replica. When you enter the Ubosot and pay homage to Luang Pho Pha Ngao, on the side of the Ubosot, there will be Phra That Pha Ngao for you to pay homage to.
Next, on the opposite side, there will be the Phra Borom Chaiya Maha Ratcha Phutthirangsan Hall, a very beautiful architecture. Further in, there will be a place where you can feed the fish.
After that, drive up to the viewpoint of Wat Pha Ngao (or you can walk, but it's quite far), where you can see the view of the Mekong River on the Lao side. 180 degrees from a high angle, very beautiful and gorgeous
After finishing the view, there is Phra Borommathat Phutthanimit Chedi. Inside, there is still the original chedi. A new chedi has been built to cover it. Inside, there is also a room of Chiang Saen antiques to see the history of Chiang Saen antiques.
If you are tired, before going down, you can sit and drink coffee at Coffee Pha Ngao. While sipping, you can see the view of the Mekong River in Laos from a high angle. It can be said that it is very satisfying.
