Lek Lai, the Lawa & Wat Samnaksong Lua Phra Sing 1.
Mae Chan Attractions.
5 years after a failed attempt to locate this mysterious Wat, the old GTR fella is back for another go.
(Fossicking Around The Top North)
The suspect dirt trail to the Wat is now concrete in the steeper sections, & the intrepid ageing rider who now struggles with the VStrom on any steep & winding dirt was ready to give it a go, despite some light drizzle, as he turned off for the conquest.
The afternoon destination - "Wat Samnaksong Lua Phra Sing 1 Lek Lai".
An enjoyable concrete descent into the Wat labyrinth.
The wealth of some of the rural temples never ceases to amaze me, and many of them are always a work in progress still.
The artist painting the Buddha image claims he got 50,000 baht an image, and he had painted two at this temple.
I wondered if the artist's name was Mr Screw?
