The journey begins with a single step. The foot of the staircase that will take you to the summit of Wat Tham Pha Plong and one of its guardians.

As you walk the 510 steps, be certain to be mindful. Read all the meditative statements and take a moment to reflect on the words.

When I returned to the bottom after visiting this amazing mountain jungle temple I felt as light as air!

Top Chiang Dao Hotel Reviews

Azalea Village Wellness Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean and the pool was fantastic. In addition, the staff was helpful and nice. As for the breakfast, the food you order was well prepared; however, the rice soup was cold and the coffee was not hot. Other than that, our stay was great and we would recommend this location. "

Baantawan Pai's Boutique Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"What a hidden gem. Booked this last minute. Pleasantly surprised as there were mixed reviews. I suspect people looking for all the creature comforts from home. I was given my own bungalow. Big room and huge bathroom. AC worked great, I had not water anytime I needed it. Has a rustic/bohemian vibe which I loved. Tucked away so it’s quiet but also super close to the market and restaurants. Breakfast in the more had multiple options. By far my favourite stop on my 21 day trip around Asia. Highly recommend this place. "
