The Skywalk is a recent addition to the temple complex of Wat Doi Ti in Lamphun Province. Opened to the public in August 2024, the glass-bottomed skywalk provides an elevated viewpoint overlooking the surrounding hills and lowlands of Northern Thailand. Its design is simple and functional, allowing visitors to walk across transparent panels while taking in the scenery below.

From the platform, visitors can see the mountain ranges of Lamphun and nearby Chiang Mai. On clear days, familiar landmarks such as Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon are visible in the distance. The open views make the skywalk a common stop for photographs, although those uneasy with heights may prefer to admire the landscape from the temple grounds instead.

Near the skywalk on the mountaintop is a shrine dedicated to Kruba Srivichai, one of the most revered monks in Thailand. The shrine houses the largest statue of Kruba Srivichai in the kingdom, making it an important point of pilgrimage as well as a central feature of the site. This monument underscores the religious significance of Wat Doi Ti and places the modern skywalk within a long-standing spiritual context.

Wat Doi Ti reflects a blend of traditional Lanna architecture and more recent developments. Located behind the large statue of Kruba Srivichai are the temple’s viharn (main hall) and a golden chedi, which form the architectural core of the complex. Inside the viharn are notable Buddha images, including a standing Buddha and another depicted in the Paleilaï posture, a representation that is relatively uncommon in northern Thai temples. The approach to the buildings is marked by naga-lined stairways, layered gabled roofs, and carved wooden doors, elements that clearly reflect the craftsmanship and stylistic features typical of Lanna religious structures.
