Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat Phrachomklao Rachanusorn (WatPhabatpuphadang) ... (New name "Wat Phutthabat Suttawat")

One of the newest amazing places to visit in Thailand that you should check it out!!! That is Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat Phrachomklao Rachanusorn (official name) "วัดเฉลิมพระเกียรติพระจอมเกล้าราชานุสรณ์" or Wat Phabatpuphadang or some people around there called Wat Phrabuddhabat or Wat Doi. The location is in Vichet Nakorn Sub-district, Chaehome District, Lampang province, Thailand or is on Doi Phu Yak. I am a Chaehomer. I have been to the temple several times since there was no temple or buildings yet. This temple started construction in 2004. The construction is still on going since then but most main buildings are finished. If you are interested in visiting the temple, the best way is by air. There are 2 airlines: Bangkok Airways and Nok Air. T rains and/or buses are available as alternative travel.  After landing in Lampang you should take a dark blue shuttle truck from the airport to  Chaehom bus station which is near Seree mall.  From here take a bus...

Road Trip In My Dreams "Highway No. 93" (Icefields Parkway and Banff-Windermere Parkway)

Image
I have been in Canada for three years. I like many things here especially the Rocky mountains and it has become my favorite destination to go to spend my quality time in this country. One of the ways to get close to the Rockies is driving on Highway 93.  Highway 93   is also known as the  Banff-Windermere Parkway  south of the  Trans-Canada Highway  ( Highway 1 ) and the  Icefields Parkway  north of the Trans-Canada Highway. It starts from the Radium Hot Springs and ends in Jasper National Park. The main tourist route is Calgary - Banff - Lake Louise - Bow Lake - Peyto Lake - Columbia Icefield - Glacier Skywalk - Jasper. But my road trip was a little bit different from the main. We started from Calgary - Canmore - Banff - Fairmont Hot Springs - Lake Louise - Moraine Lake - Yoho - Bow Lake - Peyto Lake - Columbia Icefields - Glacier Skywalk -  and Jasper. We brought our tent and food, we slept at campgrou...
