Wat Ban Pong

Nested at the foot of the Mae Rim hills, Wat Aranyawas serves as the serene, historic foundation of the village temple complex, grounding visitors in authentic Lanna tradition and peaceful monastic life. Directly above it, dramatic stairs lead up the lush hillside to Wat Ban Pong, home to the gleaming white Chedi Phra That Si Mueang Pong and its striking Loha Prasat metal castle. Together, these twin sacred sites form a captivating spiritual journey, seamlessly linking the rooted cultural heritage of the valley floor with breathtaking, panoramic views from the summit.
