Maehongson Tours

Let's Tours to Maehongson Thailand


Maehongson is a beautiful city in the northern of Thailand, about 180 km. from Chiang Mai. There are 2 ways for tour to Maehongson, one comes from Mae Sariang, to the south, the other comes from Chiang Mai, from the north, passing through Maeteng and Pai to Maehongson. Both ways go through the mountains with many scenic views. Other way there are 3 flights a day from Chiang Mai to Maehongson spend time about 30 minutes.

Mae Hong Son is one of those small Thai towns to have kept much of its character while expanding the facilities available to tourists. Most visitors to Mae Hong Son stay within the capital city area or head to the smaller but lively city of Pai. Both have excellent dining and accommodations to offer. There are several large hotels in the main city, but visitors would do well to head out to one of the outlying resorts either south or north of town, where they can enjoy a quieter time, often by a pool, deep in the forest.

Mae Hong Son is one of Thailand’s most remote provinces and thus retains its own separate identity. 
At the same time, the provincial capital is readily accessible by air and road. Nestled in its own lovely valley and surrounded by hills that are often shrouded in early morning mist, this small town is one of the most enchanting places in the entire North. Burmese-style temples, a picturesque lake, a hilltop vantage point and a bustling morning market afford scope for leisurely sights-seeing, while a choice of hotels makes it an excellent base for excursions into the surrounding countryside.
