In the small district of Li, the deep faith of the inhabitants is truly remarkable. The more than 20,000 people live their faith by strictly adhering to the Five Precepts and thus abstaining from meat for life. This devotion is rooted in the long-standing Buddhist faith of the Paganyaw community. The village of Ban Phra Bat Huai Tom is a true hidden gem for anyone seeking a simple, unhurried lifestyle.

Besides its uncomplicated and nature-oriented lifestyle, this community is also home to the "Phra Mahathat Chedi Sri Wiang Chai"—a gleaming golden stupa that represents the community's most important sacred site. You should also definitely try the vegan delicacies that have been winning the hearts of the locals for centuries.
