Located on a hilltop northwest of Chiang Rai, Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong is one of the city's oldest and most historically significant temples dating back to the 10th century. The golden chedi, a 14-meter-high stupa, is the main attraction and is believed to contain a holy relic of the Buddha. I’d highlight the beautiful views from the rear of the main prayer hall and the sense of calm the temple provides. It’s the perfect spot for those interested in Chiang Rai's cultural and spiritual heritage.
