Wat Doi khu kaeo
A temple visit, planned simply
Wat Doi khu kaeo is a temple in Mae Chan district, with an address in Janjawa, Pasakluang. It runs by donation, making a visit possible without a stated fixed fee, though it is wise to clarify the expected contribution before you go. This is a place to approach as a local temple rather than a fully programmed retreat: details such as meditation sessions, accommodation and meals should be settled directly with the temple. Travelers arriving through Chiang Rai can use Mae Fah Luang International Airport, about 7 km away, as a starting point for the journey. The setting and visitor arrangements are best understood through direct contact, especially if you are planning an overnight stay or hoping to join a particular practice. Bring modest clothing and plan around the season, with wetter weather from July through September.
