Temple with a View? Wat Phra That Doi Wao’s Got You Covered

#summervacay Stumbled across Wat Phra That Doi Wao while cruising around Mae Sai, and dang, this place is such a vibe. It’s got that classic golden pagoda shine, but the real star here? The viewww. You’re right on a hill near the Myanmar border, so you get this awesome overlook of both Thailand and Myanmar, how cool is that? The temple itself is peaceful and super photogenic. There’s a big sitting Buddha, some serpent stairs, and even a cheeky little scorpion statue (legend has it the hill used to be filled with ‘em, yikes). Not super crowded, which makes it even nicer to just wander and soak it all in. It’s a quick visit spot but totally worth the climb for the scenery and chill vibes. Bring a camera, take your time, and enjoy the breeze. Wat Phra That Doi Wao is like that low-key friend who ends up stealing the spotlight. Loved it.
