Highlights

Wat Pha Lat is a place conducive to meditation but far from unknown. Several monks reside there and many visitors soak up the charm of the place. Nevertheless, it remains an unusual place of worship in Chiang Mai, which is also very close to the city. Nestled in a lush green mountain away from the chaos of Chiang Mai’s city streets lies Wat Pha Lat, a jungle temple paradise. Jungle temples, as opposed to community temples that are found in the city, serve primarily as a calm place for monks to live and meditate. With old stone buildings, intricate carvings and statues, and plenty of breathtaking places to meditate, it’s clear why people claim Wat Pha Lat is a hidden gem in Chiang Mai.
