Wat Phan Tao is a must-see attraction in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This teak monastery is an impressive sight with an atmosphere that's truly one of a kind. Its enormous prayer hall is supported by thirty two, tall teak pillars and hosts an exquisite gold Buddha image that looks stunning against its dark backdrop. Visitors can also take part in the Visakha Bucha festival and witness hundreds of butter lamps lit around the monastery's pond. There’s no doubt that Wat Phan Tao will leave visitors feeling inspired and full of serenity!
