White Buddha overlooks Wat Phra That Mae Yen in Pai, Mae Hong Son District, Thailand This Buddha was still in development and there is a steep dirt path to climb to reach it from Phra That Mae Yen below.

Climbed up late afternoon and watched the sun set over the hills. Beautiful to see how the light changes minute by minute over the hills. The white Buddha statue is also gorgeous in the afternoon light. Beautiful view of Pai from above
