Visited in early April 2025 The road is a winding mountain road, so it's a bit dizzy. You can walk up about 300 steps and take the inclined elevator up with an admission ticket of 50 baht. There are things to see here and there in the temple, including prayer points and night view points. The night view looks good after sunset.

Mae Raem Coffee Shop, Ban Pang Waeo... Iced Americano, using Doi Chang coffee, no sugar added, very good 🥰 Cold bread with pink milk. Pang Yen Ovaltine is sweet and gentle. The seller is friendly and cute. The shop is decorated in a homely style with seating in a natural shop atmosphere.
