It is the image of Mae Hong Son — Burmese-influenced architecture you will not see elsewhere in Thailand, best at dusk when the lanterns come on and the mist settles on the lake.
How to visit it well
- Come at sunset for the reflection and the cooler air.
- The morning market next door starts at 6am and is worth the alarm.
- Dress code applies; it is an active temple.
