Wat Analayo Thipayaram
วัดอนาลโยทิพยาราม
A forest temple on Doi Busarakham, with white and gold halls stacked along the mountain, Buddhist architecture from several countries, and a hilltop view over Phayao Lake.
The temple is about 10 km west of Phayao city, on Doi Busarakham, and was founded by the eminent monk Phra Ajarn Paiboon Sumangalo. Golden pagodas, white halls, a large Buddha statue and temples in Indian and Chinese styles are built up the mountain. You can visit them level by level along the steps or mountain road. From the highest point, you can see Phayao Lake and the plain below. The surroundings are peaceful and shaded by trees. The mountain road is steep, so you can drive to a car park partway up. Admission is free, but dress modestly.
