Doi Bussarakham. There are a string of important Buddhist temples (Wat Analayo foremost among
the group), shrines and monuments on the edge of a national forest and on Bussarakham mountain
about 15 km outside of town. You can walk from one to the other. One which is a shrine to Kuan Yim
and the last one on the trail (The villa of the King- vacant most of the year) both provide stunning views
of Phayao city on the lake. The forest is thick and lush. If you are really adventurous, you can visit a
nearby village (a long dirt trail) with a nice waterfall (Tom Dong Village). A nice place for a picnic.
