History & Culture of Wat Analayo

Wat Analayo sits on a hilltop on the far side of Kwan Phayao, about 20 kilometres from the town centre. It is tricky to find and best reached with your own transport, but rewards the effort with striking architecture, unusual gardens and Buddhist sculptures, along with great views back over the lake to Phayao.

Exploring. It is easy to spend an hour or two wandering the grounds, where unexpected sights await at every turn: carved archways, rearing nagas and blissful Buddhas. This is clearly an ongoing creative work, with new statues and gardens constantly under construction.
