Lampang's newest attraction takes guests on a Japanese-inspired trip at Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan - a Buddhist temple housing the Buddha's relics located on a serene hilltop. A replica statue of the Great Buddha of Kamakura (Japan) was built in 2019 and finished 3 vears later. This bronze statue of Kamakura has a width of 14 meters. Wat Phra That Doi Phra Chan is usually visited in the early morning so as to catch a sunrise and a sea of fog. Visitors can drive up the hill to park at the temple or walk up the Naga handrail staircases leading to the arch-shaped door. From the temple's terrace, you can be rest assured to get a clear view of magnificent Mae Tha District.
