Wat Phra That Pha Ngao

Wat Phra That Pha Ngao is a meaningful cultural stop for travelers who want more than just photos. The temple is linked to old Yonok/Lanna traditions, and local history connects its name to the large rock (“Pha Ngao”) at the site. It is also associated with the revered Luang Pho Pha Ngao image, giving the place strong spiritual importance for the region. The setting is peaceful, and for visitors there is a practical shuttle bus service from below that takes you up to the Skywalk area, which makes access easier. Overall, it is a rewarding place to experience local history, religion, and scenery in one visit.

An amazing temple that we visited on the scooter. We paid the entrance fee at the bottom and then headed up on a truck to the top. We grabbed a coffee at the coffee shop which was reasonably priced then headed out on to the skywalk. We went early in the morning so we had the sky walk to ourselves it was great. We visited the temple and then headed back down from the top you can see all three countries Myanmar low and Thailand

Nice and clean temple. It is the entry point for the Mekong Skywalk. The temple has free large parking. After parking your car, please head out to the temple area on the right side to ride taxi to Mekong Skywalk.

this from a local; imo, and many others, this is the nicest temple complex in the area; not a small place even tho it is tucked into a very small village; it is not obvious however there are 3 levels to this complex, it takes up the entire hill; the photos i have are only the first level as my leg is bad so i cant go to the upper 2; but i have been there many times way in the past; imo the 2nd level is the nicest, no people, serene, beautiful temple; the top level is a pagoda, different style; not too commercialized; sometimes Large bus groups; plan on spending a couple hours overall here; at the top there are some stunning views down on the mekong river and laos, etc; library in the top temple altho i never run into the monk to talk about it; can feed the fish in one of the ponds; there are a number of buildings that make up the complex; can walk up the levels, 1,2,3 or drive 'around the back'; if there is moss on the steps it can be Very slippery on the way down, careful; smart money is walk up and have someone drive you back down; the riser and the treads on the steps are quite irregular so not all that easy climbing all the steps

Very good temples. I think that you have to go through here to catch the bus up to the Mekong Skywalk. I couldn't even see any signs for the Skywalk along the highway.

A must, one off the most beautiful temple ever.

Attractive by the glass sky walk that you can see the view of Maekhong river and Republic of Lao on the opposite side of the river. However this place manage as too commercialize not so care the visitors. I found some old and weak people have to get off from the service car on the defined point. The have to claim the steep hill for a log distance to get in the sky walk with another charge from the temple. The place was not so clean and so many shops in the area.

Nestled in Thailand's serene landscape, Wat Phra That Pha Ngao, a sacred embrace. Its origins trace back through time's veiled mist, A haven of spirituality, where history persists. Upon the cliffs, overlooking the Mekong's flow, Vihan Luang Pho Pha Ngao stands in tranquil glow. Bearing witness to centuries, a silent sage, Echoing tales of reverence in each sacred page. Founded with devotion, by hands now unseen, This temple venerates a legacy serene. A tapestry of faith, woven through the years, Whispers of pilgrims' prayers, calming ancient fears.
