Wat Huay Pla Kang — Chiang Rai
Wat Huay Pla Kang sits on a mountain top surrounded by an array of green hills in the heart of Chiang Rai. Wat Huay Pla Kang is known for its unique architecture, built in Chinese-Lanna style with white walls.
The giant figure is Guan Yin, the Buddhist ‘Goddess of Mercy.’ A flight of stairs lined with Chinese dragons leads to the image. Seated on a pedestal of Lotus flower petals, the Guan Yin statue rises 90 meters into the air.
