Mae Hong Son

This charming small town is nestled in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges. It has long been isolated from the outside world.  Today, Mae Hong Son is one of the dream destinations for visitors. The Thai Yai culture has had a strong influence on the province, as can be seen in its architecture. Although a part of the Lanna region, the indigenous Thai Yai people living in Mae Hong Son have developed their own architectural style which is different from other Lanna communities for example in Chiang Mai. Daily flights into its small airport bring growing numbers of tourists, attracted by the spectacular scenery, numerous hilltribe communities and soft adventure opportunities.
