One can witness Burmese style pagodas here while getting a great view of Mae Hong Song. Come during the evening and behold a stunning sunset over the mountains of Burma. It is quite an uplifting experience while you hear chanting monks in the background as well.

A mountain top temple with Burmese style stupa. Nice view of the town and the small airport.

Go at 5pm when it’s cooler, take the walk - don’t be lazy - it’s excellent. The temple is fascinating as it holds the remains of Buddha’s chief disciple, but the views - oh the views... sun goes down at 6pm so get there before and just sit and watch. It might even make you cry

You should go here during the day and have a good look around, make sure you see the place and spend time there, but the best thing to do is to go at sundown and at sun-up.
The views down on Mae Hong Son, just stunning . . . the views of the forests and the hills and mountains all around . . . it's just exceptional

The temple itself is not too impressive compared to other ones but you have a great (sunset) view on Mae Hong Son. It is easy to walk up there.

This hilltop wat is a very popular place to visit at sunset, and this is the main reason to visit as the wat is not all the special.
There's a small coffee stall with some seating, so it's a great place to take in the breathtaking views.

Positioned on top of a hill above Mae Hong Son it is a great place to see the sun come up and go down. Now they have a road and stairs so it makes it much easier to get too.

You can arrive here on the street, but if you can walk up you will appreciate it much more. Fabulous views of the town, excellent old Shan architecture, a fine day to day monastery with monks, peaceful and unafraid dogs, cats and chickens. Come up early in the morning. Outside of the lake this has to be the most chill hangout in Mae Hong Son.

Very nice temple with stunning views. Loved the little 'Buddha in a boat'. Being high up, it was lovely and cool on what was a very hot day. Worth a stop.

Great views of the city! Great for panoramic photos! There is a little market next to the temple. I suggest you take a car, bike or hired van up.
