The Misty Province
Mae Hong Son, the misty province, is nestled in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges and thus isolated from the outside world. The most prominent hilltop Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu dominates the place. It is one of the dream destinations for visitors who are attracted by its cultural and natural wonders.
Besides being a dormitory town, with air-conditioned resort hotel accommodation, bungalow complexes, guest-houses and Spartan native-style hotels to suit every budget, the capital is the major provincial shopping center for souvenirs which include hill tribe handicrafts and textiles, and a broad range of exotic traditional headgear. The capital also contains several noteworthy temples.
