Hidden Temple In Thailand⁉️👀🇹🇭

📌Hidden Temple In Chiang Mai📌 • The city of Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai actually has many historical places. This time I want to share about the Hidden Temple in Chiang Mai, called Wat Pha Lat or also known as “The Monastery of The Sloping Rocks”. Wat Pha Lat is a hidden gem in the middle of a forest. This place is rarely known by foreigners, most of those who come here are local. The distance itself is a few KM from Doi Suthep Temple. Formerly Wat Pha Lat was used as a resting place for people who wanted to make pilgrimages and worship at the Doi Suthep temple. Then the location developed into a place of meditation and residence of monks. This temple was built during the reign of King Kuena (1355-1385). History says that the king's white elephant stopped and knelt at this spot while walking up the mountain. The animal continued on its way but died on arriving at the top of the hill, whereupon King Kuena ordered the construction of the Doi Suthep temple on the very spot where the white elephant died. King Kuena also ordered the construction of temples in three other places (resting/resting places for white elephants), one of which was at Wat Pha Lat. Now these places are considered holy places. #thailand #travel #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #bangkoktrip #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #2023travelwish 🇹🇭Wat Pha Lat Address - บ้านห้วยผาลาด 101, Sriwichai Alley, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand Ambiance/Facilities - Toilet, parking lot Highlights - hidden gem in chiang mai Avg.
