Wat Tilok Aram, Buddhist temple in Wiang, Thailand
Wat Tilok Aram stands submerged beneath Lake Phayao, with only the upper part of its ancient stone stupa visible above the water surface.
The temple was built between 1476 and 1486 under the commission of King Tilokarat of the Lanna Kingdom, through the efforts of Phraya Yutthithira.
The temple holds three annual candle-lighting ceremonies during Buddhist holidays, where participants float on boats around the exposed brick platform.
Visitors can reach the temple site via boat tours departing from the main pier of Lake Phayao, following Phahonyothin Road and turning at Kasikorn Bank.
A 500-year-old Buddha statue from the Phayao school of craftsmanship remains beneath the waters, marking this temple's underwater location.
