Wat Phra That Doi Kongmu

One of the tourist attractions in this town. You can walk up a long flight of steps or ride a motorbike / drive a car up here. There is a coffee stall and toilets here. There is also a nice view of the city landscape. No entrance fee required.

Recommend to visit early morning about 6am as you will get to see a mist all around :)

Really great
I was there for sunset
Theres two chedis and a great view of mae hong son.
Then go abit further up to the giant standing Buddha to see the sun set behind the mountains.
Was a filtered water tap too
There is a cafe but i missed it, closes around sunset time
Many locals walk up and down for exercise.
Im sure sunrise is also awesome as the sun will rise over the town.
Lmk
Have fun

Entry: For free

Definitely worth checking out!

My recommendation is go there in the early morning around 6 am and watch the sunrise! Absolutely incredible!

Especially if you go around 6 am then you'll be alone up there without the Crowds!

Absolutely incredible!

Loved this place at 6am. Didn't get to see sunrise, but the morning must was amazing. You can drive up or walk up the stairs or walk up the hill. A nice coffee shop at the top. Worth a visit, definitely.

Great experience watching the sunrise and foggy surroundings. At this time of year it's fine to arrive at 6:30 AM so you don't spend half an hour waiting in the dark.

This temple is considered an essential sanctuary of Mae Hong Son, and the highlights are the two lavishly decorated pagodas.

The large pagoda, brought from Myanmar, was built by "Jong Tong Su" in 1860 and contained the relics of Phra Mokkhalana, the chief disciple of the Lord Buddha.

The small pagoda was built in 1874 by Phraya Singhanatracha, the first governor of Mae Hong Son.

From Wat Phrathat Doi Kong Mu hilltop, you are treated to an exceptional aerial view of the city and surrounding mountains and valleys.

Just beautiful here now.
5 pm on Thursday and not crowded.
Fantastic views of Mae Hong Son and surrounding mountains.
Don't miss it.

Worth the visit. Best place to watch the last Thailand sunset.

Our visit to see the great tomb of Kruba MaiHung and check out some of the contributions we all did in the past to bring comfort to visitor. Beautiful scenery from the top of the hill looking down at the city.

THERE'S SO CHARMING ARCHITECTURE, AND QUITE UNIQUE IN MAE HONG SON PROVINCE. THIS TOWN IS GOOD VIBE FOR WALKING AROUND FOR ENJOYING WITH ORIENTAL CULTURE AND TAKE SOME BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS WITH IMPRESSVIE TEMPLE'S DESIGN

Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu is located on the hill of Doi Kong Mu (1300 m above sea level). There you can enjoy a great view of Mae Hong Son city, including the airport and Nong Chong Kham (lake), as well as the Pai Valley and mountains in Myanmar (west side). There is a cafe on the east side. Entrance is free. There is plenty of parking space.

An absolute must visit if you’re at Mae Hong Son!

Sitting atop of probably the highest point in the city- you can have an overview of the entire town and even the runway of their airport. Superb spot for sunset- just walk further in the road (near a cafe) and you’ll have a great view of the sun setting among the mountains.

The entire area felt very peaceful and tranquil. Ohm.

Beautiful temples with huge towers, giant statues. In addition, you have to walk several hundred steps to get to this place. From here you can see the whole city at night sparkling with lights, like small stars right below the ground. What a spectacular view not to be missed when coming to Mae hong son.

Beautiful location and easily accessible. Went there for watching the sunrise and it was just magical ❤

'Wat Phra That Doi Kongmu' or 'วัดพระธาตุดอยกงมู' (Doi Kongmu = Kongmu Hill) is the temple that located on the hilltop of Mae Hong Son Town, the large pagodas overlook the cityscape on the Eastside that offer the sunrise view behind the mountains, and the sunset with layers of Burmese mountains on theback of the temple

The sacred temple had a strong influenced from Burma mixed with Tai Yai (Shan people, Tai ethnic group of Southeast Asia)

The two large stupas are standing firmly on top of the mountain and acted as the main attraction of Mae Hong Son town

There were the Birthday Buddha statue (Mon-Sun) around the pagoda for people to worship according to their birthday

A must visit when you're in Mae Hong Son. Spectacular view. Do come before sunset and head up to the standing Buddha which located uphill. Behind the small temple, that's the best sunset viewing point.

Do ring the bell next to the rider memorial as a sign of respect to the fallen rider

I would go to this place in the morning. See the mist lift from the views. Good place for coffee and to slowly wake up in a peaceful place. Walk around see the temples and the sights. Really nice quiet place and not so many tourists.

Landmark of Maehongson and near the airport. You can see Meahongson view and beautiful fog in the morning (in winter)

Great place to visit. Walking up to the temple is a good exercise about half an hour. The cafe is the best location to take panorama view. This place is a Must place to visit when you are in Mae Hong Son.

Beautiful place in the early morning with fogs all around the mountain. You can have a bird view of Mae Hong Son, while enjoy a free hot herbal tea at the balcony.
