Wat Santikhiri Yansang Wararam, Buddhist temple on Doi Mae Salong mountain, Thailand

The temple structure includes Phra Boromathat Chedi, multiple prayer halls, and decorative elements that combine Thai and Chinese architectural features.

Former Kuomintang soldiers from Yunnan province established this temple after settling in Mae Salong following their departure from China in the late 1940s.

The temple follows Mahayana Buddhist traditions, reflecting the Chinese heritage of Mae Salong's inhabitants through its ceremonies and religious practices.

Visitors can reach the temple by climbing 718 steps from the market or using the paved road that accommodates vehicles and motorcycles.

The temple grounds provide views across three countries: Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, while tea plantations cover the surrounding mountain slopes.
