Wat Pa Sak Temple

Wat Pa Sak Temple, which translates as “temple of teak forest”, is a beautiful building heavily influenced by Burmese art.

The temple was built in 1925 and is located outside the western gate of Chiang Saen. The shrine was named after the teak forest, which used to grow on the territory where the temple now stands.

The temple is decorated with various decorative patterns on plaster. The main pagoda was built in 1340 with a height of almost 13 meters. The dome of the temple is made of pure gold. Some temple buildings have been restored by the Thai Department of Art.

The temple is open to visitors daily from 8 to 17 hours. The entrance fee is 30 baht.
