Shantikhiri Temple
Tambon Mae Salong Nok, Chang Wat Chiang Rai 57110, Thailand
Description:
Mae Salong, where the shantikhiri temple is located, is a very small town in the wilderness of Thailand. It is not a tourist destination, so all local attractions have an authentic flair and are authentic reflections of the local culture.
A small and quite modern temple of Shantikhiri is located at the foot of the hill, which is crowned by another landmark of the town - Chedi Phra Boromathat. Shantikhiri embodies all the features of a typical Thai temple: a stupa-like multifaceted form, exquisite thread of carvings, grace and conciseness and aspiration upwards. Located at the foot of the hill, it seems to guard the approaches to Chedi.
