Mae Hong Son province, renowned for its tranquil ambience and exquisite natural beauty, is an unmissable destination on any Thai itinerary. This private day tour offers a condensed yet comprehensive exploration of the northern part of the famed Mae Hong Son loop, showcasing both its highlights and hidden treasures.

Your journey commences in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel in Pai by a private vehicle. As you traverse the scenic mountain roads, sit back and soak in the mesmerising views during the leisurely drive. Your first stop is Ban Rak Thai, a local village steeped in history, founded by Chinese soldiers many years ago. Here, you'll feel as if you've stepped into China itself, with Mandarin Chinese still spoken alongside Thai by many locals. Savour some delightful tea at a lakeside bar, and if you wish, opt for a short traditional boat ride on the lake.

The adventure continues with a visit to Pang Ung, a charming alpine lake nestled near the Myanmar border. Explore nature's splendour at Su Tong Pae Bamboo Bridge before experiencing the local culture at Long Neck Karen Village. Delve deeper into Thai culture at Phra That Doi Kong Mu Temple and admire the cascading beauty of Pha Sua Waterfall. The final stop is Tham Pla Fish Cave, where you can meet the resident fish. As the day draws to a close, you will be comfortably transported back to your hotel in Pai, marking the end of this enriching day tour.
