Buddha statue at Doi Phra Chan Temple

The central statue is modelled after the Kamakura Daibutsu (The Great Buddha of Kamakura 鎌倉大仏) in Japan. Just completed a few years ago, the site is tranquil and makes the most of the surrounding natural beauty.

Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan Temple

Perched atop the mountain of Doi Phra Chan, the temple’s vantage point makes for fanctastic views of the surrounding farmlands, Mae Tha village, and the city of Lampang beyond.

There is a car park at the base of the mountain, and passengers of tour vans and buses must swap to shuttle transport to drive up to the temple. Sedans and SUVs may continue up to the smaller car park at the temple.
