The skywalk is a wooden walkway on stilts that extends from a monastery. If you come here in winter, you will experience a thick bank of fog all around.

Another highlight here is a golden pagoda in the middle of the monastery where you can go inside to pay respects to a Buddha image.
Moreover, there are other Buddhist statues to see around the monastery, for instance, Thai naga serpents and a revered Thao Suranari (Lady Mo) figure – dedicated to a historical figure who defeated an invading Laotian army in a war – at the entrance.
