| We leave in the early morning to visit Mae Hong Son,
the town of "The Three Mists". We start with
the morning market, known for its variety of fresh food
and then visit one of the oldest temples, Wat Jong Klang.
This houses the oldest, most revered Buddha in the province
that it is said to have been cast in Myanmar and recovered
from the Pai River. Other fascinating attractions are
paintings on glasses and intricate wood carvings. We then
visit Wat Phra Thad Doi Kong Mu, known as "Temple
on the hill". Built 150 years ago, its sits atop
a 250-metre high hill offering fine views over the city.
The final stop is Wat Phra Thad Doi Kong Mou, at an altitude
of 1500 metres. The view of the fog surrounding the complex
is very impressive in the early morning. |
