Mae Hong Son Tours Part Two
April 16th, 2010
Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu
Drive up to Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu, erected by the first governor of Mae Hong Son. This temple reflects the strong influence of the Burmese, the highlights being the two lavishly decorated pagodas. This hilltop temple affords an exceptional aerial view of the city and surrounding mountains and valleys.
Fish Cave or Tham Pla
Then drive to Tham Pla (Tham Plan means Fish Cave), located about 17 kilometres from town. The surrounding areas are brooks and cool hilly forests suitable for relaxation. A special feature is the hollow cave filled with numerous freshwater fish known as Pla Mung or Pla Khang, which is of the same family as the carp. The fish are quite safe from being caught as they are believed to belong to the gods.
