Descending from Wachirathan Waterfall, I recalled seeing a beautiful temple at a junction on the way up to Doi Inthanon. With some time to spare on the way back, I decided to stop by. This temple has an interesting name: "Mae Klang Waterfall Temple." Perhaps it is named after its location near the Mae Klang Waterfall.
Temple on the Hill
While it wouldn't be accurate to call it a temple visit, as we barely entered the temple grounds, we did make a detour to the golden-hued vihara on the hill in front of the temple. The hilltop boasts a magnificent golden vihara, a Thai pavilion, a Chinese pavilion, a Guanyin statue, and a multitude of other sacred objects.
Chinese Pavilion and Goddess of Mercy
The lintel and pediment of the sanctuary depict Rahu swallowing the moon and a naga entwined around it.
Intrigued by the beauty of the temple, I ventured inside. The interior was painted a vibrant vermilion, serving as a backdrop for modern yet distinctly Thai murals adorning the walls. The windows featured portraits of renowned Buddhist masters.
Diverse Buddha Statues in Various Art Styles
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX
The Haunting Image
Note: The original text is in Thai and translates to "The Haunting Image."
Images of the Life of Buddha
The exterior is painted gold and has four faces.
The four cardinal directions are guarded by the Four Great Kings.
Pavilion of the Buddha's Footprint

Guanyin and her attendants
Chinese sedan and Brahma
After paying respects at the temple, it was time to return to the resort. Before heading back, I thought I would grab something to eat first. However, the rain started to come down in sheets, and the shops along the road were beginning to close. I didn't want to get soaked going into a large restaurant, so I decided it would be better to eat at the resort.
