Buddhist Temple
Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu
Climb the hill west of town, Doi Kong Mu (1500m), to visit this temple compound, also known as Wat Plai Doi. Two Shan chedi, erected in 1860 and 1874, enshrine the ashes of monks from Myanmar’s Shan State. Around the back of the wát you can see a tall, slender, standing Buddha and catch views west of the ridge. There’s also a cafe and a small tourist market.
