Chiang Mai's NEW Mountain Stunner! (19 Years to finish)

Join me on an adventure just 20 minutes outside of Chiang Mai as we finally re-visit a hidden gem 19 years in the making! I first visited here 6 years a go and it was a massive construction site. Thanks to a tip from a subscriber, telling me it's been finished, we explore the incredible Wat Ban Pong pagoda on the stunning Samoeng Road. This beautiful white pagoda has been under construction for nearly two decades, and you won't believe the transformation! Despite a challenging uphill walk (and a lot of sweat!), the breathtaking views and intricate details of this newly finished temple make it all worth it. From ancient ruins dating back 700 years to stunning modern additions, Wad Ban Pong is a true "Bobby Dazzler." After soaking in the spiritual beauty, we stop at Bannok Roasters Coffee, a rustic coffee factory and cafe we've passed countless times. Discover their incredible in-house roasted coffees and soak in the peaceful riverside ambiance. This video is packed with amazing sights and local experiences, perfect for anyone looking to explore beyond the usual tourist spots in Chiang Mai.
