Wat Pong Yang Khok — Hidden Wooden Treasure of Lampang

#thailandtrip 📍 Location: Pong Yang Khok, Hang Chat District, Lampang Province, Northern Thailand This serene and ancient temple, also known locally as Wat Pob Gyang Kok, dates back over 1,300 years, built during the time of Queen Chamadevi. The temple features a unique open-sided wooden viharn with a striking multi-tiered teak roof, supported by richly decorated golden pillars. Inside, discover rare Lanna-style murals, stucco work, and a revered Buddha image under a mondop arch, said to be one of the oldest in the region. Sword marks left on beams hint at the site’s storied past. It’s peaceful, atmospheric, and full of soul. ✨ Tips: • Best visited in the morning for soft light and fewer visitors • Wear respectful clothing and remove shoes before entering • Combine with nearby temples and local artisan spots for a full-day outing #WatPongYangKhok #LampangTemple #HiddenThailand #AncientLanna #TeakTemple #CulturalHeritage #TempleJourney#historicallandmarks #历史古迹 #博物馆
