Wat Pra Dhat Pha Ngao, Chiang Saen Dec 18, 2016
Please forgive the audio for the first couple of minutes; struggling with the external Tascam which does produce better sound quality :)
Anyway we're off to Wat Pra Dhat Pha Ngao as promised! It truly is a stunning Wat (Temple). I wasn't sure if I would make it to the top of the mountain; it's quite a hike. Hope you enjoy!

Buddhist temple in Thailand, Wat Pra Dhat Pha-Ngao
Buddhist temple in Thailand, Wat Pra Dhat Pha-Ngao
Wat Phrathat Pha Ngao, in Chiang Saen district, is an important old temple in Chiang Rai Province, in Northern Thailand. There is a chedi called Pha Ngao standing on a huge rock in the temple compound. This is how the temple got its name which means a rock providing shade. Beside the chedi itself, other things of interest include the Seven Spired Pagoda on the hilltop, a Viharn housing an image of Luang Po Pha Ngao and a golden Lanna-style teakwood building.

Wat Phra That Pha Ngao (reputedly built 462 onward)
Wat Phra That Pha Ngao is situated on a dramatic hilltop that provides panoramic views of the Mekong river and the border of Laos. At the top of the hill is a large white chedi (Phra Boromathat Puttha Nimit Chedi), which is not architecturally significant as it was built in the 1980s. Further down the hillside is the temple's chief attraction--a large round boulder surmounted by a small chedi. This sits behind a restored viharn that contains the remnants of a stuccoed Buddha image, the Phor Pha Ngao, that was discovered in 1976 when the building was renovated.

Wat Phrathat Pha Ngao, วัดพระธาตุผาเงา Chiang Rai province
Day trip to an ancient Buddhist temple near Chiang Sean in far north Thailand. Located right next to the Mekong river with some excavated ruins and Buddha statues.
It's set in a beautiful location covering a small mountain and surrounded with remnants of forest makes for a great day out. The coffee shop located at the top is pretty good too..
I went there with my wife and sister in law in August travelling from Chiang Rai where we live on occasion. Check out the links and ask any question if you like...
Kathin Ceremony Chiang Saen, Thailand
At the end of Buddhist Lent, the people of Chiang Saen gather at a nearby temple (Wat Pra Dhat Pha-Ngao) for the annual robe-making ceremony of Kathin. Working through the night, volunteers make 3 sets of Monk robes by hand. This is a long and arduous process, including picking the cotton, weaving the thread, and dyeing the cloth. The next morning, the robes are presented to the Abbot after a procession of dancers, musicians, and money trees. Our students provided most of the entertainment for this ceremonial offering.
Golden Triangle - Chiang Saen
Mention opium and heroin in any discussion and the phrase The Golden Triangle along with Afghanistan will likely enter the conversation.
But The Golden Triangle has nothing to do with Afghanistan other than the commonality of opium and heroin that are the illegal cash crop of choice for many farmers seeking to eke out a living in both areas.
Personally I have been aware of The Golden Triangle and its reputation as a source of illegal drugs since the Vietnam War.
Having said that I have to admit the name Golden Triangle almost seems like a sexy catch phrase for adventure and glamour.
In fact the Thai tourist industry has caught onto the name to describe our destination -- the geographical point where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet. This occurs at the confluence of the Mekong and Ruark Rivers.
So there you go -- take a cool geographical point -- the meeting of three borders throw in a long history of illegal drug activity and give it a sexy name --the Golden Triangle and you have a tourist destination like no other -- right?
Well if you are going to the Golden Triangle expecting to see evidence of illegal drugs you will be disappointed as the only evidence I saw was a bench sponsored by American and Thai Drug Enforcement Agencies.
Does that mean it was not worth going there. On the contrary, drugs or no drugs, it was a great destination to travel to and to experience the meeting of these three countries. We were totally taken by it but then we are easily impressed.
Just to clarity The Golden Triangle is actually a large area of 350,000 square kilometers spread among the above-mentioned countries.

Corn Picking, Chiang Saen Market Fair
The corn has just been harvested so Pie and I are off to the corn fields to see what the harvester missed. Any corn cobs will be collected and then milled to produce supplement duck food.
We found out there’s a mini fair in Chiang Saen Town so we’re off to look around.
Someone asked us about Ad Revenue and Ad Blocker which we’ll briefly give our views on. You might notice that there are no Ads on our YouTube Channel at the moment … long story but we’re sorting it.
