Wat Phra That Mae Yen

The view is next level for Pai. You can see everything with a very short drive and walk. The Buddha itself is under reconstruction with restoration work part way, which was still interesting to see though the view White Buddha faces out to, is what makes this spot so special. No entry fee required. A local advised walking but I took a scooter, and after seeing the drive in I wouldn't recommend to walk this. The entrance is a large gate on the road, leading further up a driveway to the beginning of the stairs, the road continues to the right for cars and scooters.

The Buddha is under construction and repairs. It's not white at the moment and some pieces are broken. Not sure how long it's going to take, so be aware... Been said that, the viewpoint is just breathtaking! And another reason to go, is that good feeling you climed 300 stairs and survived 😃😃

It was nice to see but the Buddha was ‘under construction’ (bamboo scaffolding). You have a nice view from there but I guess there are similar if not better views in the area. Go early morning to avoid the heat. Although the stairs are manageable. We spent about 20 minutes there so it’s good to combine with other activities.

Climb up to budha was closed for renovation but stairs showed amazing valley views lots of small temples with various budhas well worth the trip for views up the the steps

I went here to meet the sunrises, unfortunately, the entrance close at 06:00 pm — so keep this in mind before visiting, there is a gorgeous view of the valley And very nice temple And not too much tourists — especially early morning (but maybe because it’s low season) In September- October 2025 the Buddha statue is being reconstructed here

Shop has no name yet since they only started recently. It's a nice & cosy place to sit back, wind down & enjoy coffee or authentic Thai food. The owners are really friendly & sweet people you'll meet. Highly recommended.

It’s a beautiful place came right as they opened up in the morning and we spoke with a monk who’s super nice and friendly and helped us with our Thai and how to greet a monk properly, very peaceful place beautiful views and very clean, it was under construction when we went but it didn’t take away from the beauty of it I would definitely recommend also there’s some cute dogs usually hanging around at the top and bottom. ( remember to respect the rules and cover up!)

Took a drive to here for the sunset, but it closes before the sun sets. It's an impressive image with great views of Pai and would be an amazing place to have the sun disappear behind the mountains. You can drive to the base skipping a long walk up stairs but there are still many steps to walk to the actual top.
