    Most famous as well as most revered (Buddha image) temple in Maesot, Tak Province. The temple was built by Shan Zu people in approximately year1880 influenced by Mynmar architecture, with many Hall. The main Hall " "Mahamuni" enshrined Mahamuni Buddha image which is highly revered by local people. The second attraction is the Reclining buddha image which is the second largest of the kind in the Kingdom. The third one is "the Golden Hall" with red wall decorated with golden metal plate including the statues of twin Swan, Male and female, or the upper and lower one standing in front of the Golden Hall. In the corridor at the front right hand side when entering the temple are many revered objects such as Gyun-in, "Thep Tun-Jai" or "Instant success" Diety said to be sacred. Very interesting as well as educated. Do not miss if you have a chance.

    This National Park was nicer than we expected. From the terrace of the house urged us to wake up early before sunrise. The views that we saw was worth it.

    The 400 meter trail to the big tree was hard. Started with downhill and came back uphill. You really need good shoes and good conditions.

    The bridge is currently closed due to social unrest in Myanmar. No check points and the visa office is not releasing any permit . The Burmese market is open if you decide to visit the area anyway. See my other review.

    One of the best temples I have visited. Has so many aspects to the temple, in different areas. Some great wood carvings. Not too far out of town. Not to be missed.

    The main pool was under repair when i visited, which may be a long term condition at the park since it is thailand. but there are still places to soak your feet in the springs in the developed section of the park. of course there are several places to get a light meal or snack. a nice waterfall is also there to enjoy but there is a best kept secret, too. go up the trail behind the falls and you will reach an open concrete warm pool that feeds the falls to also bathe in.

    Chaio por Phawo Shrine is the most popular pray and respect place for locals.

    You can see local people pray. They often pray their wish or make a votive offering.

    This locates along the way Tak to Mae Sot route. Nice atmosphere because it located around mountain view.

    You can take a photo.
    You can see local cultures from this place.

    We were here several years ago and it was a bustling busy place.
    Today this is a tired place with at least a third of the shops closed. Still some decent deals if you know what you are looking for, but the market lacks the excitement of a thriving market of the old days. I hope it comes back. May have a little to do with the Burmese Junta war against their people as the border was shut down as well.
    Anyway, take you time going through and have lunch at the chinese place next door!

    On one hand a temple as any other, but on the other you can take a glimpse at the Burmese influenced architecture (the roofs especially) without crossing the border.

    It is good stop in-roue between Tak and Mae Sot.
    It give the visitor good sense of the local taste and colors.
    Good coffee-shop in the market.
