How to get to Wat Phra That Cho Hae ?
Songthaews (shared taxis) can take you to from Phrae city to Wat Phra That Cho Hae. They depart from near the market on Chaw Hae Road. First departure is at 6 am and latest departure at 16:30. It coasts 20 THB but songthaews are quite rare. We waited one hour without seeing any. Otherwise, a songthaew for you alone, will take you there, expect for you the time you visit the temple and bring you back to the city for 400 THB.Search visits in Thailand by destination
