THE JEWEL IN THE LOTUS (MAE HONG SORN) |
|
Nestled amongst enveloping mountains as in a womb, the hamlet of Mae Hong Sorn sits lotus like, thick forests keeping hidden her secret beauty from the outside world. Climbing above one has clear views across the entire valley. At the heart lies a diminutive park with a tear shaped lake and two Burmese style temples set side by side to the South in gardens. Bells hung from their wedding cake tiers tinkle in cooling breezes as tattooed monks nap on the polished teak floors in afternoon heat. One sits and fancies himself a pilgrim to an age long since lost.
