If you’re looking for one of the most adventurous, off-the-beaten-track day trips from Chiang Mai then look no further than Wat Chaloem temple. No it’s not on the tourist radar yet, but yes it wholeheartedly deserves to be! It’s one of the best hidden travel destinations of Thailand.Floating Wat Chaloem Temple ‘floats’ because of its insane location, perched on top of craggy limestone peaks and appearing to float above the plains below. Add in a bit of early morning mist and you’ve got yourself quite the sight!Once you’ve gone a fair way up the hill in the songthaew, it’s over to you. The final 800 meter climb is done on foot so make sure you’ve got a ton of water with you as it can take nearly half an hour in the heat and you don’t want to run out of liquid! And once you arrive, the temple is all yours. The views are simply spectacular and each pagoda has a slightly different style to explore.
