The temple on the water - Tilok Aram.
Tilok Aram Temple is a hidden gem situated on an island in the heart of Kwan Phayao, the vast and serene lake of Phayao Province. According to ancient stone inscriptions, this remarkable temple lay submerged beneath the waters for over 500 years, preserving its secrets beneath the surface. Today, it stands as a vital cultural and spiritual site for the people of Phayao, embodying centuries of history and tradition.
On this tour, we’ll take a peaceful sculling boat ride across the lake to visit the island and explore the temple, offering a unique glimpse into the province’s rich cultural heritage.
The giant Lake - Kwan Phayao in Thai
Eighteen rivers flow into Kwan Phayao, creating the largest freshwater lake in Northern Thailand. As you arrive, the gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of the water will greet you, instantly refreshing your senses. Strolling along the lakeside, you'll feel a deep connection to the natural beauty that surrounds you. This peaceful atmosphere is filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
On the shores of the lake lies a charming town where you can immerse yourself in the local culture. Explore the art, traditions, and customs of Phayao, while browsing unique products from local traders. It's a journey that will let you truly experience the heart and soul of this serene province.
Corundum Mountain - Secret.
Corundum Hill, the crown jewel of Phayao Province, is a must-visit destination for any traveler. Perched atop this scenic hill is the revered Anarayo Thip Tharam Temple, a spiritual sanctuary spread across three interconnected hills. This sacred site is rich in both history and natural beauty, offering a variety of fascinating landmarks to explore.
Among the highlights is the majestic Big Standing Buddha, a symbol of peace and serenity, as well as the pagoda crafted in the ancient Bodh Gaya style from India, evoking deep spiritual significance. You’ll also discover the old chapel, home to the temple’s main Buddha image, and the "jungle point," a peaceful area enveloped in nature. Around the hills are other historical sanctuaries and hidden treasures that await exploration, making this a truly enriching and inspiring experience.
The Corundum not The Topaz
The gemstone featured in the picture is corundum, not yellow topaz. When expertly cut and polished into sapphire, this precious mineral can reach an impressive value of 100,000 Baht per carat.
On this tour, you’ll have the rare opportunity to witness two massive corundum formations hidden at a secret location atop Doi Busarakam (Topaz Mountain). This exclusive site is a true gem in itself, accessible only to those who explore the mysteries of Phayao.
As part of the journey, you’ll also encounter the awe-inspiring Big Golden Buddha, a stunning symbol of peace and reverence, adding a spiritual touch to this unique experience.
The Big Golden Buddha
At Wat Sri Komkam, you’ll be awed by the grand golden Buddha inside the temple’s magnificent chapel. This impressive statue, crafted in the elegant Thai Lanna Kingdom art style, was built over 500 years ago and remains one of the most striking symbols of the region. With a lap width of 14 meters and a towering height of 16 meters, this Buddha is the tallest in Phayao, radiating both beauty and serenity.
One of the temple’s halls extends into the waters of Kwan Phayao, where you’ll discover stunning murals created by a renowned national artist. These elaborate artworks tell stories of Thai culture and spirituality, adding even more depth to the temple’s significance. On the tour day, your guide will take you through every part of this sacred site, sharing its rich history and hidden details.
