The temple’s name, Doi Wao, translates to ‘Scorpion Hill’, a name it earned from the abundance of scorpions that once inhabited the hill. Today, however, it’s more renowned for its cultural significance and breathtaking views rather than its namesake creatures.
Wat Phra That Doi Wao is distinguished by its striking combination of Thai and Burmese architectural influences. It showcases an array of intricate carvings and gilded designs, a testament to the superb craftsmanship of artisans of bygone eras. The focal point of the complex is the main chedi, or stupa, an elegantly towering structure that gleams in the tropical sun, sheathed in gold and richly adorned.
