Chiang Dao

Travel Guide

The entrance to Chiang Dao Cave is surrounded by Buddhist symbols and crystal clear blue waters filled with rather large koi and catfish. 

The entrance fee for the caves is 40 baht, but i recommend hiring a guide with a lantern to take you a bit deeper into this amazing place. A guide currently costs 200baht (plus tip) and is worth every bit of it. Watch your head and step!

The summit of Wat Tham Pha Plong is simply breathtaking! Surrounded by mountains and jungle, it is the perfect place for some inner soul searching and meditation. 

When I returned to the bottom after visiting this amazing temple I felt as light as air! This place does a heart good. ❤

This stunning temple is located primarily inside a sprawling cave system. Visitors may walk along a lighted path alone or venture into the abyssal recesses with a Thai guide and a lantern. If you want to take photos inside, don't forget your tripod.

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!

Wouldn't stay here
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! BEWARE! Had to drive 1.5 hours on a motoscooter back to Chiang Mai at 1:30am because the rooms are infested with GIANT ants in the beds, and hundreds of small ants in the bathroom. They tried to move us to a different room and right when I walked in a giant ant crawled ...
