Bobcock at Wat Tha Ton - Chiang Mai
This temple is on the border of Chiang Mai / Chiang Rai and Myanmar, set on a hill overlooking the Kok River.
The temple is built on 9 levels up the hill but sadly due to torrential rain I was unable to take pictures at most of them.
We arrived at level 3 which has some great views over the river and those views are posted in my Chiang Mai thread.

However at that point it started to rain and it was torrential so we drove up to the top of the hill missing out most of the levels and waited for it to clear up.
This temple came across as a bit 'culty' to me, they have a web site advertising meditation etc in English, but the new chedi just didn't feel like a Thai temple to me, more a space rocket housing an all seeing orb that should be worshipped.
This is the main chedi.....

This is the main buddah staute up at level 9....the was a walkway from level 9 that wound it was down towards the river which looked like it would have been fun to explore, but it started to rain again so we turned back after a while.
