#VisitChiangMai Wat Phalat, also known as Wat Soktakami, is also known as the secret temple in the middle of the forest. This temple boasts both historical beauty, Burmese art adorned with nature, and an extremely peaceful atmosphere. It is another must-see check-in spot when visiting Chiang Mai. If you plan to go to Phra That Doi Suthep, we recommend stopping by this temple first as it is just on the way up. However, the beauty and nature surrounding this temple is definitely not just a pass-through temple. Personally, I like the unique statues scattered throughout the temple grounds. Aside from the beautiful architecture, there is also a small stream and waterfall running through the temple grounds, with a viewpoint offering views of Chiang Mai below. The reflection of the sky on the water and the view of Chiang Mai is a must-see. #WatPhalat #VisitChiangMai #Thailand
