Visit the Golden Rock Temple
The Golden Rock Temple or as it is locally known as Wat Phra That Intr Kwaen is a replicated mountain/forest temple that shared the same name as it was originally found in Myanmar. That temple found in Myanmar is known for its large golden rock on a cliff, and so is this one in Phrae but way smaller. The Golden Rock Temple in Phrae doesn't just consist of the Golden Rock, it also replicated the famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangoon but on a miniature scale and they built a forest park around it for us travelers to hike around.
It is a great place to stop first thing in the morning as you start to explore the mountainous 1024 - 1342 highway loop and spend some time walking around the forest park before you continue the loop. The Golden Rock Temple's opening hours are between 8 AM and 5 PM and, like most places of worship, it is free to enter.
