Wat Pha Lat is not a typical temple in the sense that it is very informal, without a large wihan and ubosot. This temple may best be characterized as a forest temple. The temple is located on the side of a mountain and borders a large waterfall. Structural elements of the temple are scattered among the trees of the mountainside as small Buddha shrines and images of various mythological creatures. I have tried to present the photos I took so that a tour through this set will approximate a tour of your own around the temple.
Wat Pha Lat, วัดผาลาด, is a temple located on Doi Suthep (Suthep Mountain) above Chiang Mai. "Doi" (ดอย) is the Thai word for "Mountain", so it is frequently seen in the Thai highlands. This is a forest temple with numerous shrines scattered on the mountainside.
