Inn Paw Khon is a village in Inle Lake in Myanmar with a Buddhist temple complex.

description

The village is located in southern Inle Lake and is known for its silk weaving mills, which also offer weaving courses for visitors and cultivate the rare art of lotus weaving .

The village's pagoda is one of the most important on Inle Lake and is therefore a stop at the ship procession that takes place every year in September or October , during which four highly venerated Buddha statues on the king's barge visit the most important villages on and in the lake.
