One-Day Trip to Mae Hong Son!

1. Pang Ung

The Journey to Pang Ung

After picking up tourists from various accommodations in Pai town at approximately 4:00 AM, the van embarked on its journey to Pang Ung, the first stop on the itinerary. The two-hour drive brought the group to Pang Ung just as the morning light began to break. The cool air and the ethereal mist created a magical atmosphere, inviting everyone to soak in the beauty of the surroundings. This initial exploration lasted for about an hour.

Pang Ung: A Serene Oasis in the Heart of Thailand

Pang Ung, a vast reservoir nestled amidst towering pine trees, presents a breathtaking spectacle of natural beauty. The serene atmosphere, especially during the early hours when mist gently descends upon the water's surface, evokes a striking resemblance to the Swiss Alps, earning it the moniker "Switzerland of Thailand."

Must-try Activities: Bamboo Rafting

One of the must-try activities is bamboo rafting, available for 150 baht per 30 minutes. Each raft can accommodate two people (excluding the paddler).

Riding a bamboo raft also offers a pleasant atmosphere, as if floating through the mist. It is indeed a popular activity.

The morning air is fresh. Enjoy the scenery around the reservoir.

We will be able to watch the sunrise at Pang Ung, where we can take a walk and take photos. Soon, the sun will begin to rise over the hills.

2. Ban Rak Thai Village

A short drive from **Pang Ung** brings you to **#Ban Rak Thai**, a former Yunnan Chinese village located near the Burmese border. Due to its high altitude, the area is renowned for its tea cultivation, and you'll find tea products in various shops, where vendors often invite you to **enjoy a complimentary cup of tea** while taking in the ambiance of Ban Rak Thai. **Indulge in a steaming cup of tea while admiring the breathtaking views of the mist-shrouded mountains, serene waters, and rolling hills. It's an experience that will truly rejuvenate your senses!**

The atmosphere of #Love Thailand Village (for breakfast, you can eat here at your leisure. The recommended menu is definitely the pork leg and steamed buns, which are really good!)

3. Pha Sua Waterfall

Cars can be parked for a visit to Pha Sua Waterfall. From the entrance, it may seem like a long walk to the waterfall, but it is not. Just walk along the well-maintained path for a few tens of meters, and you will arrive. There are areas to stand and admire the view, as well as to take photos.

Pha Sua Waterfall

Pha Sua Waterfall is a medium-sized waterfall, approximately 10 meters high and 15 meters wide. During the rainy season, the water flows abundantly over the cliff, resembling a spread-out mat, hence the name "Pha Sua Waterfall" (Pha Sua meaning "mat cliff").

The optimal time to visit #Pha Sua Waterfall is during the rainy season, from July to September. Note: During the dry season, the water flow may be reduced.

4. Khao Khlong Country Club

#Phu Khlon Country Club is a tourist destination that offers health and beauty services using natural mud and mineral water. If you are interested, you can apply mud to your face and body for health benefits at an affordable price.

The mud here is a therapeutic mud with various minerals, comparable to mud from other countries, beneficial for the skin and blood circulation.

In addition, Phu Khlon Country Club offers a wide range of products and services related to natural mud, allowing you to choose according to your preferences.

5. Sutong Bridge

The journey then leads to another popular tourist spot, the #Sutongpe Bridge, located in Ban Kung Mai Sak. This 500-meter bridge spans rice fields and a small river, connecting Suan Tham Phusama and Ban Kung Mai village. Its construction aimed to facilitate convenient travel.

The Su Tong Pae Bridge: A Symbol of Community and Faith

The Su Tong Pae Bridge stands as a testament to the unwavering faith and collaborative spirit of the monks and villagers of Kung Mai Sak. Its very name, "Su Tong Pae," signifies "success" in the Tai Yai language, reflecting the community's triumph in constructing this remarkable structure.

(Note: The information in parentheses regarding the seasonal beauty of the bridge is omitted as it is not relevant to the translation of the main sentence.)

6. Long-Neck Karen Village

Visit the Long-Neck Karen Village

This passage describes a visit to a Long-Neck Karen village, specifically the village of Ban Huay Suea Thao. Visitors can experience the unique lifestyle and traditions of the Karen people, including their distinctive houses and attire. The village also offers opportunities to purchase souvenirs and take photos with the Long-Neck Karen women.

The majority of merchandise and souvenirs are clothing and accessories, which are relatively inexpensive.

7. Doi Kong Mu Temple

#Phra That Doi Kong Mu is a sacred site that has been a symbol of Mae Hong Son province for a long time. It is located on Doi Kong Mu, which is accessible by car (or for those who want to exercise, there are stairs to climb). On the top, you will find the large white stupa of Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu. The stupa is in the Mon style, with an octagonal base and beautiful stucco decorations.

The front of the Phra That Doi Kong Mu temple offers stunning panoramic views of Mae Hong Son city. Nestled amidst rolling hills, the charming town is surrounded by verdant mountains. The nearby Mae Hong Son Airport can also be seen from this vantage point.

The back of the stupa is lined with shops and cafes where you can relax and enjoy a coffee with a beautiful view.

8. Fish Cave

#Fish Cave

Located at the foot of a mountain, the Fish Cave is a large natural pool fed by a constant flow of water from a cave beneath the mountain. This unique environment provides a haven for large schools of pla puang fish, making it a popular destination for fish enthusiasts.

Here... it has become a place to relax, take a walk and enjoy nature, or feed the fish.

The translation of "จุดชมวิวกิ่วลม" is "Giw Lom Viewpoint".

The car will take us to the last stop, the Kiww Lom Viewpoint, which is located on the way back to Pai, about 20 kilometers away. In the evening, we will be able to watch the sunset. It will be a beautiful view to end the day…

Kiw Lom Viewpoint: A Breathtaking Panorama in Mae Hong Son

#Kiw Lom Viewpoint stands as a stunning natural landmark in Mae Hong Son, offering breathtaking vistas year-round. The constant breeze adds to the allure, while the surrounding landscape unfolds in a mesmerizing tapestry of rolling hills and distant peaks. As the sun begins its descent, the scene transforms into an even more captivating spectacle, painting the sky with vibrant hues. The cool, refreshing air creates a truly serene and unforgettable experience.

After enjoying the sunset at approximately 6:00 PM, the car took us back to Pai town. We dropped off the tourists at their respective accommodations, concluding our one-day tour of Mae Hong Son.

In my opinion, taking a day trip to Mae Hong Son is a convenient option. You don't have to drive yourself, which eliminates the hassle of planning your route. You can relax and enjoy the ride while someone else does the driving. Plus, if you get tired along the way, you can always take a nap. It's a great way to experience Mae Hong Son!
