Thailand Monastery in Chiang Mai
The wooden Wat Phan Tao monastery itself is surely among the most beautiful ones in Chiang Mai. It also has a picturesque court yard with a Buddha statue under a tree behind a pond. But if you have a chance to see a ceremony there, then you shouldn't miss it! There will be hundreds of candle lights illuminating the court yard of the monastery. It's just beautiful!
Photography Tips
Bring a tripod and a zoom lens or several prime lenses (tele, 50mm and wide angle). Shoot in manual mode to keep the atmosphere.
