Wat Phra That Doi Kong Moo




The buddhist temple overlooking Mae Hong Son. Because of its proximity to Myanmar, its architecture exhibits Burmese influences. I don't know how that translates architecturally though, since I've never been to Burma. hehe.

Doi Kong Moo is just a 5-minute motorbike ride from Khunlum Praphat Road, the main road in MHS city.





Zoom in.

Erh, mali. 16th century Japanese daimyo castles and fortifications pala.

And is she a Padaung woman of Burma, bro? Haba ng leeg! How I wish I could wear neck rings like hers para humaba naman leeg ko. He he

that's right. we were laughing over the neck rings because it's usually the women who wear it. one of their villages is right beside the camp i work in. most of the longneck karen in that village are catholics, btw... try mo, pagtry ko nga bigla rin akong nagka-leeg. hehehe
