“Wat Phra That, Doi Kong Mu, the big pagoda small pagoda View of the city of Mae Hong Son”
Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu is situated in the west of the city, on hillside. Previously called Wat Plai Doi, it is regarded as the city institution. It is prominent with two pagodas. The big one was built by Chong Tong Su 1860 and the other one by Phraya Singhanat Raja in 1874.
Erected by the first governor of Mae Hong Son, this Temple reflects the strong influence of the Burmese. The main feature is the large pagoda in the middle of temple compound that is believed enshrines the bones of Mokkhalana Monk, the main follower of the Load Buddha. The highlights of this attraction are the two lavishly decorated pagodas.
Also, this hilltop temple affords an exceptional aerial view of the City and surrounding mountains and valleys which visitors can enjoy both sunset and sunrise behind the mountains. Set behind the temple is a small cafe you can set back, have a cup of coffee and enjoy one of the best valley views in Thailand.
Opening hours: 05.00 AM - 09.00 PM
