Day 01 Arrival - Mae Hong Son (L)
Upon arriving at the Mae Hong Son airports and transferring to the hotel, guests will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Later in the afternoon, they will be transported to the Phasuer Waterfall to witness a site of majestic natural beauty before moving on to visit a Meo hill tribe village at Na Pa Pag and a Chinese village at Ban Mae Or, both of which are located 1200 meters above sea level. After this fascinating brush with local culture (and an enjoyable serving of home made Chinese tea in Ban Mae Or), guests will settle in at accommodations in Mae Hong Son.
Day 02 Mae Hong Son - Pai - Mae Hong Son (B, L)
The day begins with breakfast and a trip to a local morning market in search of the best bargains, followed by a drive to the Pai District on a scenic road that offers breathtaking views. After a quick lunch at a local restaurant, guests will explore the Lod Caves, the Lisu and Lahu hill tribe villages and the famous Fish Cave national park. Although there’s no cave for visitors to enter, they will be able to observe big brook carp (some as large as one meter long) swimming in a small stream that emerges from the rock face of a hill. After this enjoyable afternoon, guests will retire for the evening at accommodations in Mae Hong Son.
Day 03 Doi Tung - Mai Sai - Golden Triangle - Chiang Rai (B, L)
Once again, the day starts with breakfast, but this time it is followed by a boat trip along the Pair River to see the exotic ‘Long Neck Karen Tribe.’ As their name indicates, the women of this local village have necks that have been elongated by brass rings. A delightful picnic lunch is provided in the area before guests set out to explore several famous temples including Wat Phra Dhat Doi Kong Moo and Wat Jon Kham before setting off for the Mae Hong Son and the conclusion of the trip. |
