Top 48 things to do and attractions in Mae Hong Son

Definitely worth a visit if you're passing by. Lots of hungry fish to feed and the feeding place in the cave is like a fishy washing machine!

Lovely well maintained National park. Trees everywhere, grassy areas. A small river runs through it with lots of hungry fish. Fish food sold at the park at modest prices. Kinda fun. Very lovely stop on your way. Note park entry fee for foreigners was 100 baht. Much much less for Thai's.

A serene, well maintained area with a short loop walk to see the fish in the river. At the "source" of the river you look down into a small "cave" where many fish swim in the current. Interesting that this type of fish is not edible due to toxins it produces that make people feel dizzy or nauseous. The 100 baht ticket is also valid for other places in the park ( waterfall and the lake) so keep it.

100 baht entry fee to enjoy this beautiful nature walk to the fish cave! The nature trail was closed. We enjoyed buying fruits & vegetables from the locals to feed to the fish. So peaceful & serene with lovey views from the bridge. Highly recommended!

There is a “cave” of sorts where you can see many fishes gathered. You can buy some fish feed (20 THB for each small bucket) to feed the fish and they will be excited to eat them ! There is also a nature trail but it is closed off at the moment. There is nothing much else to see in this place besides some local shops selling food and souvenirs. Entrance fee is 100 THB. Take note that this place is part of a huge national park called “Namtok Pha Suea - Tham Pla national park”, so if you happen to visit another attraction in this park , e.g the camping ground at Pang Oung, you can still use the same ticket to enter here.

Nice place! These fishes are crazy big and super hungry! You can buy fish food (1 basket) for aprox 50 baht. Entry is 200 Baht p Person Its worth to visit and there is also a beautiful park incl. restaurants!

This is kind more of a hyped up tourist attraction. Allot of shops. basically a park next to a few ponds with fish in it. But theres a kind enclave at the end with water and tonnes of fish in it. I enjoyed the stop as we were on the bikes. You can buy food for bowls for the fish and see everything around it.

The journey to this waterfall is quite long. The road from the other side has a lot of landslides (we came from Mae Hong Son) but the view's definitely worth it. And the view from the top of the waterfall is amazing. 200baht fee for foreigners

Don't walk all the way to the lowest level, the view isn't as good as higher up. For a better picture I would recommend going after lunch when the Sun isn't facing you.

The waterfall is spectacular but you get quite a limited view on it from a few viewing platforms, as it's not possible to hike down as a regular tourist. There seem to be quite limited things to do in the national park as well. During off season, food and coffee options nearby are also closed due to a shortage of visitors, you'd have to drive pretty far to find something to eat, maybe even to the nearest big town, Khun Yuam. It's worth a visit if you're in the area though.

Life is a journey , the road to this park is amazing! A yearly trip for me , must see this waterfalls and the sunflowers.

Despite we’ve seen a lot of waterfalls in Thailand, I can say, that this waterfall is one of, which impressed us a lot. Yes, you cannot come to this waterfall closely and touch it, but we’ve found a special pleasure in sitting nearby, enjoying it from afar and listening the noise of water…it was simply great.

I can understand why some folks are complaining about the rough journey and price for foreigners for just a viewpoint on the waterfall. Well the journey inland from the main loop is indeed rough for 4WD especially if u come from Mae Hong Son due to steep uphill. I wouldn't recommended small 125 or 150cc scooters to take this route as you may faced issue going up hill due to lack power in your engine. Riding off-road on comfty 400cc scooter was a little difficult due to a small section of tight uneven dirt road else everything is fine if u nagivate carefully on the bends and overtaking on dry season. Wet season road conditions might be worse. View is okay not breath taking..No harm giving it a miss if u do not have enough time.

Just a short stroll along the slope to a viewpoint overlooking the mountains and a huge waterfall. Easy to access even with kids.

A serene and calm place. Bamboo rafting is 150 baht for a ride for 2 people. Good place to sit and enjoy for some time, but wouldn't recommend staying over for a night.

This place is gorgeous! A very scenic road to this place. If you like nature and tranquility it's a great place to stay here for a few days or weeks. In the village you can find coffee, local shops and food.

A wonderful camping spot by the lake, giving you a feeling like you're in Switzerland. It’s located near Yunnan Village and Mae Hong Son. Camping tents can be rented for 500 baht per night. Boating on the lake is available for 150 baht for two people for about 30–45 minutes. You can also see the Royal Queen’s black swans at the far end of the lake—great for photo opportunities, and a place that many locals also love to visit. Please note that the mist depends on the weather, so it might not appear every day. There are no major petrol stations along the way, only small local pumps that cost about 50 baht per litre. So filling your tank in Pai or Mae Hong Son is highly recommended.

Nice place but I wouldn’t say it’s a must do. Very crowded when we were there. Also has a campsite with lovely facilities. There is a small trail where nobody walks on so if you want to get away from the crowds that’s my recommendation 😊

Such a nice place to spend the morning. I rent a rafting experience on the spot for about 15 minutes ride and met 2 beautiful swans along the way.. definitely a noteworthy stop in your itinerary

Lung taboon home stay We just arrived here in Pang ung We are planning to rent a tent to sleep And do the hiking for tomorrow But suddenly they dont allow right now the tent and hiking because it's rainy season So we find a home stay that cheap but quality room it's only 350 Good price already So the name is lung baboon home stay Very close to the lake But over all we enjoy walking down to the lake... Everyone reading this have a safe journey and travel

Delightful place to chill out while being ferried around the lake on a bamboo raft. 150baht/hour. Campsite looks very good

The temple itself isn’t remarkable, but sitting by the lake in the evening, watching the sunset and the temple’s reflection on the water, was a unique experience. If you like my pictures, follow me on IG for more photography : @cleopatella

Visited after opening hours though it doesn't deter from entering. Just a quick tour around the perimeter, after night market.

One of the pair of temples on the lakeside. More ornate on the outside with the ornate silver ( aluminium) spires. Lovely Buddhas in each of the prayer halls. Do notice the green "jade" Buddhas alongside the principle statue in one hall. Lovely paintings on the wall in the left hand hall.

We walked around, it was mid so pics were hard to take. Not much to see inside. From a far it looks impressive with the lake in the foreground. 3btraveler

Temple by the lake - very interesting eclectic mix with elements of Mahayana and Hinduism represented too. You must visit their archive in one of the buildings - it's so fascinating, and such a random (to my eyes) of old collection (eg. Scrolls, statues, old photos) and Buddha stories that you'll have a consuming time, if you like such things

Worth visit if you are a temple lover. If you are not, there are couple of old stuffs to view... Drawings, Buddha statues, and lots more for you to explore ;)

Beautiful architecture different from the Thai classical style, on the border of the lake. Very nice neibourhood with a small park and street food😊

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place by the lake. Sleeping in tents is relatively comfortable, there are toilets and showers with hot water. Very basic breakfast. We paid 600 baht for the tent, a bit expensive in my opinion. (Original) מקום יפה על שפת האגם. השינה באוהלים יחסית נוחה, יש שירותים ומקלחת עם מים חמים. ארוחת בוקר בסיסית מאוד. שילמנו 600 באט לאוהל, קצת יקר לדעתי.

(Translated by Google) There are a lot of buildings blocking the beautiful view. Go set up a tent. The bathroom has a nice room, not very clean. There is a service charge. (Original) มีสิ่งปลูกสร้างเยอะ บังวิวสวยๆ ไปกางเต้นท์ห้องน้ำมีห้องดี ไม่ค่อยสะอาด เสียค่าบริการ

Entry is free but maintenance is 10 baht. Once you enter the place, you have three routes to take. The one on the left is your path if you are adventurous. Also, people usually spend 20 minutes here, mostly near the gazebo. But if you cover all three routes it takes a minimum of 1 hour. And the place is very scenic dotted with views and trees everywhere. Go in the morning and relax there till afternoon. Highly recommended.

Super cool spot, you can easily get there bye going to pai walking street and paying 100 baht at pretty much any taxi stand and they will take you and pick you up. It was beautiful at sunset; super easy to get to, there is a lot to “hike “ if you want to, but if you don’t want to it’s about a 4 minutes uphill walk and then you’re there. I recommend hiking to the other side and going through the little crevices that are naturally formed. Super good thing to do while in pai.

What a great experience, it’s free even to park your bike/scooter. There are easily lots of ways to enjoy the canyon regardless of the experience you’re looking for, but it will depend on your fitness and strength, fear of heights etc. If this was back in the UK it would be fenced off 🤣. People say to go at sunrise or sunset but we went in the middle of the day, and yes it was very hot, but not very busy. In this type of situation we would always choose the extreme heat over the crowds. Good foot ware is advisable and avoid if it’s been raining. Highly recommend.

Short walk up from the parking area until you reach the canyon. It’s very picturesque and unique to see so would highly recommend, entry was 1 baht and toilets are 5 baht. Would recommend wearing sturdy shoes as it can be quite slippy on some of the sandy bits.

The place is beautiful and perfect for watching the sunset. Arrive about 15–20 minutes early — there’s a short and easy climb to the top of the hill. The only downside is the safety along the walking path. Some parts are not well protected, and a small slip could end very badly. I really hope the local authorities will improve it soon. At the parking area, you can find small food stalls with tasty local snacks at very reasonable prices.

Well, it has a great view all around and that's basically it. I wouldn't call it a canyon it's a sandy hill. For anyone coming to see sunsets let me tell you - there are no sunsets in Pai.

So beautiful even if you scare of heights 😍 I couldn't do the path but my boyfriend had an amazing time and I saw the most amazing views of pai valley. Very crowded

It's a seasonal pla e for the flowers. I went to early. The views are great with the clouds wrapping around the peaks. Nice place

We dropped in whilst riding the Mae Hong Son Loop right at the end of the rainy season in the last week of October. There were some open flowers but the main bloom was still two weeks or more away. On the plus side, there were very few tourists around and the atmosphere is quite serene.

A must go! Super big and free to explore.. i went around 2 pm and the sky was a bit dark. Sadly i didn’t have time to wait until sunset but i bet it will even more beautiful Do check the weather.. i think the best time would be on November when all the flowers bloom

Such a lovely scene near Mae Hong Song. Must visit place but 5 hours drive from Chiang Mai.

Really beautiful spot. Great place to watch the sunset. Some food options though I didn't try any. The flowers are very beautiful and the view is spectacular. The roads leading up to it are nice but not that notable so on the drive up we worried we'd come all that way for a disappointing tourist trap, but honestly once we reached the fields we found it truly breathtaking. My photos and video should say the rest.

I came end October and many flowers were still not open. I imagine if you come here mid November it will be awesome. When you are on highway 108 or on 1263 then you ahould definitely drive up here it is only about 10 km from the intersection with 1263.

Beautiful spot, very busy. Windy road with lots of hills, make sure to have car that can handle the grades as the one we rented was questionable at best. The flowers are amazing, very beautiful. would recommend. We visited November 21, 2023

Visit date: 8-Jul-25 (Tue) If you're visiting Sai Ngam Hot Spring within the same day, you can use the same entrance ticket! I'm excited to visit the prehistoric coffin and human remains in Cave 3 but apparently this option wasn't available due to the low water level. The guide said that the water level must be high enough to take the bamboo raft to Caves 2 and 3. Only Cave 1 tour is available, which was also interesting to feed the fish and see the unique limestone structures. The whole tour finished within 15 min. You are also required to hire a guide at the ticket booth or else you couldn't enter the cave.

After parking (which is free) you are required to hire a tour guide who will go with you to guide you through the cave. The guides know plenty about the cave, but not all of them speak English. The cave is VERY dark, so bring either a small tripod or a (flash) light if you're planning to take photos. It's well worth the price and a nice experience (floating in on the bamboo raft kinda feels like hopping onto a theme park darkride).

We experienced Nam Lod Cave with GJ Tours and I would definitely recommend you going with this company for an amazing experience. Gai who runs the tours (GJ Tours), speaks amazing English and made our tour enthralling and we learned so much. Gai has lived in the area all his life and knew some secret caves which we visited.

Very nice scenery. Was amazed by the raw nature of the cave. I booked a trip at one of the shops in Pai center. Be prepared, you need to pay an entry fee for the caves. Transport and entry fee are +- 450. Depends on how many caves you want to see (there are 3, all include rafting as well). One thing I was a bit concerned about was that there wasn’t like a kind of safety briefing. Because some stair are quite steep and some places are really slippery (would recommend wearing normal shoes). Still a very nice experience with some fun people!

Let us step into the historical and magical cave of Thailand, full of history and interesting things to see. This is my second time visiting back in january 2025 after my first visit in december 2018. I went to visit this cave to forget about my worries as something has happened to me back in 2018 but visiting here again, I wanted to replace the bad memories by enjoying the cave and replace it with good memories. Tagged along with two other travellers from Indonesia and Spain, plus our elderly tour guide, who told us interesting, funny and scary stories during the tour. We had a fantastic time! We went on a tour together because it was cheaper for us to split the cost of 600 baht to 200 baht each. So if you're travelling alone, would highly recommend you wait for two other travellers, just to split the cost of the tour as going alone will be expensive.

It was awesome nice big cave. Long walk. Not good for hips problem. Like my husband we haven’t seen all the way on the top inside the cave causing him hip problem. You will walk on the step ladder man made need to be careful.

Incredible massive cave. Well worth a visit. Costs 200-300 baht for the guide, depending on the size of your group. Bring a headtorch or similar to see more, and a hat to protect against bat/bird droppings. We got a sense our guide wasn't paid well so gave him a good tip.

A first for me. Free admission. Park where the toilets are and only 1 minute walk.. A woven bamboo bridge across the rice fields. Then the walkway becomes a bridge over the river. Then there are several steep flights of steps upto the wat. Care needed. The 360 degree views are lovely. Views from the wat are great. A hat and lotion recommended. Your out in the middle of a rice field and the sun will get you. A few souvenir sellers and a few food sellers at the car park. When in Thailand why not try. The creaking of the bamboo walkway is great.

Really interesting cave to visit with signs of habitation going back thousands of years. We had the misfortune of coming there just at the tailend of the rainy season. That meant we could not visit cave 2 and 3 (where ancient coffins are visible). Not sure if this was because the water was too high or the bridge was swept away during a flood, the explanation was lost on me. Anyway, even just the one cave was totally worth the short detour from the Mae Hong Son loop.

Very nice spot with beautiful views! You can easily spend about 30–45 minutes walking along the bamboo bridge, visiting the temple at the end, and heading back. There’s a cozy coffee shop near the bridge where you can grab a cold drink and relax. The small souvenir shop is also lovely and offers very affordable items. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic visit!

Really enjoyed this walk. Coffee shop at start/finish, who is a bonus. The temple is interesting and the surrounding countryside is stunning

We liked this place. Good for a rest stop, love the little walk. You're prompted to make a donation before you go in for the monks or something. Decent cafe overlooking the rice fields and the bridge as well.

It's a beautiful and tranquil temple with a bamboo bridge extending over lush green fields. It's a great place for a walk and to relax. The Buddha statues in the temple are very beautiful. I would say it's one of my favorite temples. I will definitely return.

A beautiful site. I was here in the beginning of October and the fields were so nice and green.

Nice viewpoint! It is on the top of a hill with a view overlooking the valley and town. There are some nice places to take photographs and you can buy some food and drink from the uncle taking care of the place. I went there in the evening and it was peaceful and quiet. Even saw a small snake swimming in the water. You need to pay to enter.

The viewpoint is a beautiful spot, even though we didn’t get to see the sunrise because of the clouds. The entrance fee is 20 THB per person. Inside, you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee or tea in a lovely, peaceful atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop!

good view on the mountains surrounding yourself. the path to go with a scooter can be a bit challenging for beginners, the end is quite steep. tee is good. the entrance fee was 20 THB in July 2025. it's also romantic, you can write your names and put on the tree. Google about this Chinese village to know the history, or gemini. it's quite interesting.

Beautiful viewpoint, 20 baht per person but so worth it. Has a little shop, cafe and free toilets. Gives such a nice view of Pai so is worth the drive up.

Just a very beautiful viewpoint. Not a lot to do and the restaurant is expensive. There are so many viewpoints in the area, not sure I can recommende about this one. Next to the viewpoint there's a flowers garden, with small entrance fee but we didn't have time to go.

Good view point , but don’t visit at afternoons bcz the heat is too much. You can feed the fishes and hangout a bit there and enjoy the time. Approx 30 mins you can spend there. 20 baht entrance free was needed.

There was an entrance fee for this viewpoint but I cant remember how much (under 100 baht per person) but definitely worth it. Great spot to see the whole area from above. There's also a very detailed garden behind the viewpoint that is an additional cost to enter but you can snap some pics of it from the parking lot and it's super beautiful. Must be confident on a scooter to get to the viewpoint, it's super uneven and very steep roads.

It's far from a luxury experience, but it's good enough to stop and soak for an hour. The free area for soaking the feet is really small, the public pool costs 30 TBH, and private baths start from 50 TBH. They also offer massage (150 TBH for 1h). I first stopped by in the middle of the day, but it was way too hot here as there is no shade. I retured in the evening for a private bath. The baths are run down and not particularly clean, but the water is hot. I had my own towel, not sure if they provide that. If you stop by in the evening, be aware that the pool is full of local kids.

30 Baht will get you access to the warm pool, it was a nice quick swim but it was poorly maintained. Broken ladders and a decomposing shed next to it. Bathrooms had broken equipment and definitely could use some maintenance. As for the hot springs, the main area was leaking, weeds overgrown and foot baths were mouldy and boiling hot. I was here during off-season but, this place has definitely seen better days. Good spot for a quick swim but it felt a bit gross.

The place is still closed but beautiful. I recommend to call before you come cause probably the swimming pool still closed even putting our legs water does not seems like an option.

Time to renovate … But if you love hot spring and swimming pool worth it. Here is like a public park. If you just dip your feet are free of charge. The private individual room costs 50 baht and big room costs 300 baht. The highlight is the swimming pool with hot spring water costs only 20 baht per person. You cab also find a massage service which cost 150-200 baht. In general, here is clean but just need a huge renovation. Most of the people who visit here is a local. The private room gives a aged baht and not a nice surrounding but yeah 50 baht. You can have a direct new hot spring water and stay as long as you can, even you can go out from the room and come back again. The hot spring pool is good and relaxing. However, it will be warm only when the officer open the new water in, otherwise it ll be like almost normal temperature water. Massage is standard. Nothing fancy.

Great that the foot spa is free. Definitely makes it worth stopping at on the way through.

Oha Bong Hot Spring in Maehongson is a disappointing and frustrating experience for visitors. Despite the complex appearing to be a professional-grade hot spring facility, the reality is quite different. The main issue is that the majority of the hot spring amenities are currently closed and inaccessible to the public. This includes the private rooms with in-room hot spring bathtubs, which are not functioning due to issues with the piping system. The only part of the facility that remains open is a small area for foot soaking in the hot spring water. However, even this is less than ideal, as the water is reportedly very hard and mineral-rich, making it unsuitable for full-body immersion. For visitors who have traveled a long distance to reach Pha Bong Hot Spring, this is an incredibly frustrating and unsatisfying experience. The facility does not provide the full hot spring experience that one would expect, given its appearance and marketing as a prominent cultural and tourist attraction in the region. It's unclear when the full facility will reopen and the hot spring amenities become accessible again. Until then, Pha Bong Hot Spring cannot be recommended as a worthwhile destination for hot spring enthusiasts or travelers. The closure of the majority of the complex is a major disappointment and a waste of time and effort for those who made the journey here. Overall, Pha Bong Hot Spring is a hot spring facility that is currently a shadow of its former self, with only the most basic foot soaking option available. Unless you happen to be in the immediate area and just want to briefly dip your feet, it's best to avoid visiting Pha Bong Hot Spring until the full complex is restored and reopened.

At the time of writing (November 25th), the place looks extremely run-down, though not closed (as it probably should be). We drove here from Mae Hong Son and were pretty disappointed to find out that the facilities are not only basic, but also very dirty. The pool is closed. I believe they’re emptying it to clean it, as it does need a good scrub. The foot soak stream is muddy and full of leaves, while there are spiderwebs hanging from the bathrooms’ walls. We saw one staff member, who did not approach us. All in all, a waste of time and gas.

The trails were not clear, they need to do maintenance so it is easier to find your way. I don't think it is worth a visit

Good to get into nature for 90 mins but this walk lacks features eg waterfalls, views. Path is not well marked and map at the entrance is misleading. see pics vs true gps track. Man at the entrance didnt ask for money.

Went here by motorbike, 125cc Honda Click. Could have been the mistake of a lifetime. The park is absolutely gorgeous and I discovered places where probably less than 10 people set foot every day. However, what looks like a road on Google that leads through the park to Bang Tha Ta Fang is not a road at all. I had to cross a river about 50 times, sometimes knee-deep. The motorbike survived, but had it not, I would have been absolutely stranded. The first part coming from Mae Sariang is paved, then doable, then it gets worse and worse. I recommend driving until you can't drive anymore and then hike further. It's an awesome place for hiking or some wild camping. Always bring water and food with you.

An absolute disappointment. We came here to hike and to expierence the beautyfull scenery of this vast area. As with almost all national parks in Thailand, the management seem to be just plain wrong. Each national park has a fancy and ever expanding entrance with shops, campingplaces and picknicktables. It seems the Thai don't understand what to offer tourists that come and visit. They seem to create a luxurious picknick place and a fancy visitor center at each park and this is about it. For Salawin National park we only had 1 trail of no more than 2 kilometers. It was pretty, but way too short. So right after, we went to the visitor center and, what a surprise, nobody spoke English. This has been a persistent problem when visiting parks and reserves around Thailand. The communication is plain horrible. We asked if there are other entrances for the park to visit and hike. The park ranger simple couldn't explain or answer any of these simple type of questions. The reviews of this place are primairly from the Thai and they seem to have a different understanding of visiting a vast natural area. They seem to not understand the concept of long free hikes, on plain trails in the park. The only option would be to hire a guide an literally pay hundres of euros for a hike in which the guide isn't able to properly speak in English and explain things a long the way. We came to another disapointment by visiting this national park.

Pretty area but apart from showers no facilities to speak of.

There wasn't too much information available at the info centre, other than some hand drawn maps. There is a 1 hour hike around, signposting is ok except for the last part when you cross a small river. You can drive up into the park but there isn't anything particular to see up there.

We hoped to find some other activity or route in the park, but the only person in the park – the guard – could not tell us much. We decided to have a snack and bike towards the Burmese border to see one of the longest rivers in the world Salawin in the village Mae Sam Laep. Read full story in our travelblog (link in the profile and at the pictures)

The temple is relatively centrally located in the city facing the lake, and perhaps looks most beautiful when darkness falls and the lights are lit. Visited the temple during the day on a Saturday and it was quiet and peaceful with few visitors. There are parking spaces along the road past the site.

One of the two temples on this site, built in Burmese style and in wood, giving a very different feel to the many other golden temples. Do go inside and admire the golden Buddha and walk to the "museum" hall on the left to see an array of artifacts and wooden carvings - too much to adsorb in a single visit! The stupa outside is brilliant gold at sunset and beautifully illuminated at night with reflections across the lake in front.

Nice but rather small temple. Built in the late 19th century. Very nicely lit in the evening. It perfectly harmonizes with the reflections in the surface of the lake. Stalls are set up on the street opposite the temple on weekends. It is adjacent to Wat Chong Kham. It looks like a temple complex to me.

Rather small temple in the city of Mae Hong Son. From some photos I imagined the temple was a lot bigger but actually quite small to look around. The style of the temple is a bit different from the temples you would see Amat Bangkok. Felt more earthy and relaxed- maybe it was because of the influence of the Burmese culture. It must be also pretty to visit at night as the light gets reflected on the lake next to it.

My favorite temple in Thailand. Built in mid 1800s for Burmese monks who spent time mourning the death of a local abbot. Inside is all wooden including a bamboo Buddha. The wood gives it a more spiritual ambience for me as compared to the standard hard flooring and gold temples. Recommend going to the room on the left where there is a series of wooden statues also carved in the mid 1800s depicting key scenes in the Buddha's life including when he gave his son and daughter to a beggar as slaves.

Very nice temple this is a temple you need to see in Mae Hong Son. Its made of wood in Burmese style. Its a very nice temple made of wood. You must ask to in the museum in the main temple building. Its the door to the left you can see my pictures its amazing. If you need to visit a temple in Mae Hong son this is one of the temple you should visit. Its close to the public park and dam in the middle of the city.

Nice temple against the pond in front of it. Very picturesque. Visit in the morning or evening cos afternoon was very hot.

Review for just the waterfall... 100Bht each for waterfall, but the path to it is now closed and overgrown. You can only get to about 50mtrs from it on a viewing platform. So, not worth stopping here if you wanted to get right to the water and dip your feet etc... Run a tap or flush the loo while you look at the photo I attached. That should save you the trip and 100Bht each 😉

The water was closed on February 8th, no information about when it will reopen. When it does reopen, you should be able to enter with the ticket from the Fish Cave, as it's the same national park. If not, neither place is worth the 100 TBH entrance fee on its own.

We were just passing by and decided to take a look. We are in august - rainy season- there is a lot od water! Very short walk to the fall. Did not find fish cave, the lady at the chashier was not helpful at all:(

The office is brand new, there is a coffee shop and toilets. The office is just next to the road so be ready to turn in otherwise you miss it. You can not swim sadly in the waterfall just take some pictures and move on. You can use the same ticket from the fish cave and the Royal National park. So please visit them in one day you pay 200 thb as no Thai and 20 thb for 3 places. It has water most seasons it is pretty waterfall for a few selfies. The office close around 17.30 do not come to late.

The fish here love salad and they're such happy fish ❤️

Looks great full of water in august and easy to access from the main road, public toilets at the entrance

Gorgeous waterfall, right on the main road. super easy to get to the viewing spot and completely free

First stop in Mae Hong Son province if you're on the loop tour via Pai! There's a viewpoint about 4km north from the ticket booth (with winding roads too!) The officer told us it's foggy due to the rain but I absolutely loved the foggy view. There were also friendly dogs running around and welcoming us! It's the low season now due to the rain and people would usually come at the end of the year aka the cold season, as the terrace would be decorated with rows of colourful flowers. The same ticket for this national park could be used to visit Tha Pai Hot Spring in Pai, if you're using it within the same day.

This is a spectacular place for everything you want- nature, roads from Pai to Chiang Dao is kind of experience as many places are raw roads and under construction, you need to cross a few small river flows which I was scared off but the view of the entire road is spectacular with orange gardens and the mountains view all throughout. You can do camping, bird watching and many more. Cost is 400THB per person and worth it!

Easy to arrive. Off 1095 to Pai. Unfortunately, Dang Park was misty, when I arrived. Positive, no doubt, vistas would be sensual, with clear skies

Such a beautiful place!!! Mountains, constant atmospheric fog, flowers💛 (But don’t wait for more than a couple viewpoints. For me thaaat was enough) Stunning breathtaking view😍 And suddenly found out that it was a good place to practice acro-yoga haha

Well maintained park offering views over the mountains. When we visited the coffee shop and gift shop were closed, otherwise very good.

Huai Nam Dang National Park is absolutely breathtaking. The viewpoint at Doi Kiew Lom is famous for a reason – the sea of mist in the early morning with layers of mountains and the silhouette of Doi Luang Chiang Dao in the distance is just magical. There are camping areas and bungalows available, so you can stay overnight and wake up to the misty sunrise. The weather is cool all year round, especially during the winter months. The facilities are decent, clean, and the staff are friendly. The drive up is winding but manageable, and totally worth it. There are also nearby hot springs (like Pong Duet) you can visit for a relaxing soak. Highly recommended for nature lovers, campers, and anyone chasing unforgettable views. Don’t forget your camera – this place is pure Northern Thai beauty.

Amazing camping place, best for sunrise and sunset. If you are in Chiang Mai, this is a super recommended place. Just 80Km from the city, you can use local transportation or rent a car/bike. The roads, mountains and everything about this is pretty amazing. Food is available and you can rent tents as well

This is a local morning market The people very friendly some insisted I take thier photo. I think foreigners are rare here deep in the market place. Had one of my best Thai Coffees here.

A local market that sells everything under the sun. You can get fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, as well as cooked food, especially in the morning. They also sell clothes and all sorts of other things. You can catch the yellow songthaews from opposite the market to various places, like Ban Rak Thai. If heading to Ban Rak Thai, there's only 1 songthaew leaving daily at around 12 noon. Be here from about 11.15am to get a spot.

Really nice to spend about half an hour. No tourists around. Find fruits, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms you’ve never seen before.

Good and fresh local food. Can get burmese-shan food too. Must try if you are in Mae Hongson

Nice place to walk about and get local snacks. Need to speak Thai if not quite awkward to order food. But food looks really tasty!

Recommended by the hotel manager at Boondee Guesthouse in Mae Hong Son (stay there!). Very large and bustling. We sat down for a breakfast of noodles made by a very nice lady. A couple came and sat next to us and they were so much fun! A great way for a tourist to get a peek into Thai lifestyle …

Really like the foods especially breakfast Shan dishes.

I was there on around December 1998 with my enthusiastic VW' bug friend. It was start from Bangkok drive toward Ayutthaya, Ang-Thong, Singhburi then first stop at Tark for one night. Next day, we drive to Innthaanon International Park and stay one night there spent around that area. In the next day, we drive to Mea-hong-Sorn, catch on HW 108 & 1095 and stopped some interactive places along that route toward Chingmai. That tripped took me 7 days during the end of that year over the new year 1999.

(Translated by Google) It is a large reclining Buddha image. Built with Shan art, and is a 12 meter long reclining Buddha image which has very beautiful Buddhist characteristics. See Burmese-style architecture that blends seamlessly with Shan culture at Wat Phra Non. The roof of this temple is two-necked and three-chain and pan-shaped like Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu. Interesting things within this temple It is a reclining Buddha with a length of 11 meters and 90 centimeters. Throughout, there are Buddha images in a meditation posture and various Buddha amulets, including the Lotus Khem Buddha, Sivali Buddha, and the Guan Yin statue. In addition, inside the ancient storage room There are also Tripitaka books and ancient objects. Bowls and utensils used by the Japanese during World War 2. At the back of the temple are two pairs of lions standing together. It is believed that Chan Ka Le and Princess Mia were the creators and on the opposite side there are two pagodas in the Burmese style. Inside the first pagoda there is a Buddha image and the second pagoda has four Burmese style Buddha images. In front of the second pagoda there is a large Buddha image meditating outdoors without shelter, which is very interesting. This temple is therefore another good program in Mae Hong Son that travelers should not miss. The origin of Wat Phra Non according to history says Wat Phra Non was built when Thursday, March 17, 1875, by Phaya Singhanathracha (originally named Chankale, a Shan), the first governor of Mae Hong Son. which corresponds to the reign of King Rama 5. There are 2 reasons for the construction of the reclining Buddha: 1. To commemorate his appointment as governor of Mae Hong Son. and was given the name "Phaya Singhanatracha" in 1874. It is also a celebration on the occasion that the village of Mae Hong Son was raised to the status of a city and 2. He was born on a Tuesday, so the reclining Buddha image (reclining Buddha) was built to be the principal Buddha image of the city. and make it a place of worship of the people of Mae Hong Son, however, due to events in the border towns not keeping calm The reclining Buddha image was therefore never completed. and he passed away in 1884. Later, his wife, Chao Nang Mia, ascended to rule the city as the second ruler. He built the reclining Buddha image, 11 meters long and 90 centimeters long, and continued until it was completed. and organized a grand celebration along with naming it Wat Phra Non after the place where the reclining Buddha had already been enshrined. and invited Kruba Chomphu to be the first abbot of Wat Phra Non. The miracle of the Buddha There is a story passed down that in 1934, the roof of the Reclining Buddha Temple was covered with fairly old zinc. One day, a cowherd boy came to take a nap in the temple while he was half asleep. Seeing that the reclining Buddha was getting up and running because of the heavy rain, and that the Buddha could not bear the rain, the cowherd boys ran into the village and told the villagers to hurry and see the reclining Buddha. Because the monk will get up and flee. When the villagers heard this, they flocked to look at the temple. and they were astonished that both sides of the reclining Buddha's feet It's actually bending up. And there is a little bit of overlap. His left foot is shorter than the right one. When that happens Groups of believers in the city flocked to see and help each other by donating a little to collect four items to buy new zinc to cover the temple in place of the old zinc. Later, in the year 1938, while all the groups of believers in the municipality and outside the area came to worship the Buddha image. It appeared that the sleeping Buddha had tears flowing from his eyes as if crying. This event happened about 6 months later, and a few years later, World War 2 broke out, which the villagers believed that this was a miracle of the reclining Buddha. That helps remind people not to be careless. And in the year 1943, in the middle of the night in September, after the world war happened. A group of thieves sneaked in and hacked into the back of the reclining Buddha in order to take the silver and gold ring that the first governor had put in it and carried it all away. But the villagers helped to repack the valuables and keep them sealed as before. Currently, that mark is still visible. As for the thieves Rumor has it that everyone has a problem. Whether it's true or not, this is a story from a miracle of a Buddha that the villagers respect.

(Translated by Google) [Northern Thailand - Monument to the souls of Japanese soldiers (Burma front soldiers) in the temple "Wat Pranong" in Mae Hoong Son] This is my second visit in 10 years to Mae Horn Son, located in northern Thailand, close to the Burma (Myanmar) border. Just like last time, we visited the Japanese soldiers' cenotaph at Khun Yuam in Mae Hoong Son. There is a cenotaph for the Japanese soldiers (Burma Front Soldiers Memorial Monument) inside the temple ``Wat Phra Nong'' located on the outskirts of the center of Mae Hong Son. As a Japanese person, I was able to burn incense, join my hands in prayer, and offer condolences. *Photo taken with Nikon's flagship mirrorless camera Z9 Lens used is F2.8 24-70mm lens (Original) 【タイ北部-メーホーンソンの寺院『ワット・プラノーン』内の日本兵(ビルマ戦線将兵)鎮魂(慰霊)之碑】 10年ぶり2回目のタイ北部、ビルマ(ミャンマー)の国境から近い距離にあるメーホーンソン。前回同様、メーホーンソン内、クンユアムの日本兵慰霊碑を慰霊訪問しました。 メーホーンソン中心街外れにある寺『ワット・プラノーン』内には日本兵慰霊碑(ビルマ戦線将兵慰霊之碑)があります。1人の日本人として焼香、合掌、慰霊をさせていただきました。 ※NikonのフラッグシップミラーレスカメラZ9で撮影 使用レンズはF2.8 24-70㎜のレンズ

Well...I'm exploring Mae Hong Son (MHS) Cafes, restaurants, shops and overall infrastructure...great little city and capital of MHS province. This cafe is in a cool and quiet part of MHS..nice folks , great coffee and Hmong art ... come relax ..

The cutest coffee in Mae Hong Son. The decoration is cozy, with wooden chairs, little lamps, paintings on the walls and a library. I had a hot chocolate and waffles that I can only recommend. Finally the hosts are really welcoming. I came here every morning

I stopped in for a coffee break twice on my Mai Hong Son loop scooter trip, and met the lovely owner Ann and her son. Great coffee, vibe and staff. Recommended. 🙏🏻

Lovley Cafe that is a must when in town, Ann the owner is so lovely and warm. She takes her coffee seriously and only uses high quality local mae hong son beans which are rich in flavor. The croissant is very delicious well as the latte and specialty latte with coconut milk Enjoy :)

We had a delightful experience at Coffee Morning. After meeting the owner of the shop at the night market the night before we were invited to try some coffee and have breakfast the next day. The shop was cool, and had lots of art and books to browse. The coffee was tasty and the bagels went down a treat. Would definitely recommend checking out this place if you're in town!

This local favorite coffee shop has a huge drinks menu. Very good drinks at affordable prices. The owner is friendly, she always gives us a small free pot of tea with our drinks. But don't expect her to greet you or wait for you to order. She does all the work there, so be patient. Just take your time to make up your mind, then order. There is a cute trio colour cat live there. She'll come around and greet customers all the time.

Our experience at Coffee Morning in Mae Hong Son was nothing short of delightful! The waffle was the best I've ever tasted, the müesli was a refreshing twist, and the hot chocolate was a warm embrace on a chilly morning. My wife enjoyed a fantastic coffee too. The ambiance was charming, and the staff's warmth made our visit memorable. Highly recommend this cozy spot for a delightful breakfast or coffee date! ☕🥞🍫

Hot spring with special mud pit which contains natural minerals which is good for skin, tried the whole body mask with scrub skin feels so much better after, Highly recommend 👍👍👍💯💯

Really enjoyable and worth the money if you take the private experience. The ladies were really friendly despite speaking no English and took perfect care of my girlfriend and I. Book beforehand if possible, we came on an afternoon and they were already booked out for the day. Luckily we also had time the next morning, so we were able to book for then.

Cozy place. I had a facial massage with a mineral mask. Kind and welcoming staff. I recommend getting a facial massage with Yaa. Gentle and relaxing touch. My face is full of moisture and light. Thank you.

Area is split into tourist (public pools) and premium (private enclosed rooms with attached onsen). Prices for premium are about 2x the standard public prices. Experience was pretty relaxing as onsen water is not too sulfuric and the temps are just nice. I also let my 6 month infant get a short dip in the onsen and he loved it!

Didn't really want to visit at the beginning, but we came for a simple facial mud mask treatment and a foot onset which is 140 baht per person, kids are free for foot bath. It was nice and relaxing sitting outdoor on a chill morning while getting a hot foot bath. Face was fresh and nutrious after the simple treatment. Nice for a try if it does not detour your trip of the day much. Process: take off shoes, clean your face, lay down and a layer of mud mask will be applied on your face, roll up your pants to knee level, go to the foot bath onsen area, foot bath for 15mins or so till mask is dry, wipe your feet dry and go back to the same room to wash off the mud, use the facewashing cream to clean your face, apply face mist, syrum, cream, and sunscreen. Done!

Absolutely lovely experience. Tranquil setting, top notch staff and excellent services. Mud from head to toe, facial, massage, shower, hot springs soak in an infinite pool…all in a private room with the most incredible view over a rice field.

We got a promotion of 900 baht including facial messages , mud body scrub and hot springs.The experience is nice. They said here is world top 3 mud bath.

Nice ground… but no palace unlike other locations. Neither any food or drinks.

Nice place to have a quick drive on the way or back from Bang Rak Thai.

Came here to see some animals, there is lots to see and it feels like we are in Australia, horses, sheep are near the roads, others you have to park and walk, end of the road is helipad for royalty to visit, as its a project for them. Tips: entry is free, drive is steep and one point, don't go in a 1.2litre car.

It's an interesting place, more of an agricultural learning center than palace. Really cool to see the local fauna and flower exhibits though. They also have a few horses and it looks like they're breeding sheep, which was random. I guess the previous King of Thailand really liked sheep.

Even this place is a palace but many projects for helping local people located here. There are gardens, farms, open zoo and green houses for an experiment. The front garden, sheeps farm(take a picture with a little lamb in your hug), wool products are an attraction and also the house which calls "palace".

Quite steep road leads up here. Interesting sheep project. Some deer, too.

Pang Tong Palace has a lot of test beds for vegetables. I saw squash, strawberries, lettuce, peppers, and other things. Interestungly, there was a spherical squash that was trellised. The orchid greenhouse has many variety of orchids. My favorite part is the sheep and very cute lambs and especially the very young lambs. It is peaceful with not many people.

One of the best place in Mae Hong Son to buy local products arround the lake and Temple. We had a great evening during our holiday trip

mae hong son.. a more than 5hr drive from chiangmai city proper.. it is more quiet compare to pai proper town.. beautiful small town..

The night martket may be not there any more. U should go inside the road a little bit, there wil be a walking street like that. Quite small, maybe due to covid 19 they just open the little market

The night market of Mae Hong Son is beautiful and offers great food from fried fish over soup, tofu, baked potato chips, soy milk, mango and sticky rice, smoothies. Also you can buy some souvenirs at the road leading down to the lake. Definitely a night market worth checking out. Not too large, but with plenty of nice stuff to choose from.

Awesome night market! All varieties of food and drinks. Lovely location on the lake. Nice to enjoy all the lit up temples and their lake reflections at night. We couldnt choose what to eat! All so good.

One of the local night market. Crowded during year end. Lot of street foods and local clothes and accessories.

There is basically nothing. On a Saturday, there had been about 5 food stands and one for drinks, a few already sold out at about 6:30pm. We thought there might be more on a Sunday.. but sadly all was closed only 2 food stands open. There might be more at high season and it’s still shortly after Covid-19 regulations dropped. Hopefully the night market comes back to life soon.

Definitely a must for photo taking when you at MHS

It’s actually very beautiful. Usual National Park Entrance Fee and a short walk, easy drive to get there. The water has clearly been channeled into the different levels (hottest at the top) and into the concrete pools. However, walking past these and up to the top to see the source of the water at the hot spring is well worth it, beautiful and steamy.

Very nice water springs, has a range of water temperatures so you can work your way up to the hotter temperatures. We went in October and it was extremely quiet as it was low season so it was really enjoyable.

300 Baht entry for foreigners. Very relaxing and nice place to visit! The pools varying heat, I think the hottest was 36°....... Phew!! Many of pools and streams to float in, everybody chatting and freindly. There are showers and toiltes, and cafes for food and coffee etc.

Not the cheapest excursion in comparison to other activities nearby, buy really beautiful and relaxing. We arrived about 1600 when it was much quieter.

Such a joy to be in the hot water. We brought food and. Eggs .we boiled the eggs in the hot water . Amazing

Lovely little spot. Was put off by the poor reviews and what I though was a steep entry fee of 300 Baht for tourists 60 Baht for locals. Wasn't super busy. Nice pools to take a dip in. Showers and toilets on site. Pools where 32-36c I think.

Very beautiful paid hot springs. 300 baht for foreigners. I don’t really agree with paying to use nature, but the site is well maintained and there are showers and changing rooms on site, just be careful of snakes. Four cascading pools at varying temperatures between 28-38C degrees. The source at the top is 80C.

This restaurant is more famous among foreigners and tourists, located in a slightly quieter village. The place is clean and has a western/Thai feel with its decorations, food and atmosphere. The staff also do speak fluent English, menu is extensive with many western, Thai, northern Thai dishes. Personally I quite like the beef curry with pineapple, the beef is soft and curry is tasty, it's tasted kind of Hainan curry taste too and it's not spicy. Chicken soup with coconut milk is another dish not to miss, the broth gravy is tasty and good to go with rice. I feel the western dishes are average, the Thailand dishes are definitely better than the western dishes. Definitely a 4 stars for the Thai dishes.

Wow! I can not describe how blown away I was of how good the food was. We ate the tea leaf salad (which we returned to eat again the next day), the beef stew with pineapple, the potato cake with dipping sauce. The beef was tender and the stew flavorful. The salad was fresh, had so many new flavors i have never experienced before and was hearty at the same time! 😍 The host was also really kind and helpful, answered all our weird questions about her dog and the food. If anyone visit Mae Hong Song city, this is the place you don't want to miss. You should order the tea leaf salad for sure! 🤤

Best meal in Mae Hong Son, we had lunch n dinner there on the same day. For lunch we had Burmese food - tea leaf salad, pork with potato, beef with pineapple curry, potato cake, spicy mushroom salad & pappadum. For dinner we had Thai food - stir fried vegetables with tofu, khao soi with chicken, tom yum goong, fried chicken wings, fried fish & glass noodle salad. This place is definitely worth visiting.

Best Burmese salad in Mae Hong Son! I had the best Burmese green tea salad here — absolutely perfect and a wonderful way to start the meal. The Shan-style meatballs tasted just like home-cooked comfort food, really delicious. The restaurant is spacious and located about 2–3 km from the walking street. Friendly service and a clean environment. This will definitely be our go-to place every time we visit Mae Hong Son.

We loved our dinner here. We had a friendly welcome, including from the local dogs! The restaurant has nice homely relaxed vibes. The food was incredible! We highly recommend ordering and sharing a few of the Shan dishes - we shared the tea leaf salad, beef and pineapple curry, pork and potato curry, potato cakes and rice. Everything was delicious, the meat was slow cooked to perfection and melt in the mouth. We will be dreaming of this restaurant for years to come! They also have western and Thai options for those less adventurous, but we would encourage you try the Shan dishes - we’re pretty sure you won’t regret it! There is also complimentary mosquito spray, which is a nice extra. Thank you to everyone at Salween River Restaurant for a lovely evening.

Super nice restaurant with a great variety in food! Both local as well as international dishes are of great quality and taste. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and very clean. Surely recommend it!

Very nice restaurant! There’s a wide variety of food, and everything we tried was delicious and reasonably priced. Great value for money and a pleasant atmosphere — highly recommended!

It was nice to see but the Buddha was ‘under construction’ (bamboo scaffolding). You have a nice view from there but I guess there are similar if not better views in the area. Go early morning to avoid the heat. Although the stairs are manageable. We spent about 20 minutes there so it’s good to combine with other activities.

The view is next level for Pai. You can see everything with a very short drive and walk. The Buddha itself is under reconstruction with restoration work part way, which was still interesting to see though the view White Buddha faces out to, is what makes this spot so special. No entry fee required. A local advised walking but I took a scooter, and after seeing the drive in I wouldn't recommend to walk this. The entrance is a large gate on the road, leading further up a driveway to the beginning of the stairs, the road continues to the right for cars and scooters.

The Buddha is under construction and repairs. It's not white at the moment and some pieces are broken. Not sure how long it's going to take, so be aware... Been said that, the viewpoint is just breathtaking! And another reason to go, is that good feeling you climed 300 stairs and survived 😃😃

I went here to meet the sunrises, unfortunately, the entrance close at 06:00 pm — so keep this in mind before visiting, there is a gorgeous view of the valley And very nice temple And not too much tourists — especially early morning (but maybe because it’s low season) In September- October 2025 the Buddha statue is being reconstructed here

Climb up to budha was closed for renovation but stairs showed amazing valley views lots of small temples with various budhas well worth the trip for views up the the steps

Shop has no name yet since they only started recently. It's a nice & cosy place to sit back, wind down & enjoy coffee or authentic Thai food. The owners are really friendly & sweet people you'll meet. Highly recommended.

We climbed all the way up the stairs but found it closed. No reason given. Disappointing! Then we realized we could actually walk up along the road for cars. So only the stairs are closed but it's open for the public via the main entrance. It is quite a climb but the view more than made it up. Good workout!

Quiet temple with a fish pond and chickens to feed. There are two churches (one in the back) and two different styles of Buddha statues. I like the one in the back made from wood with gold accents. There is also a monument to King Naresuan near the pond. The chickens are in reference to that monument.

In Pai's tranquil embrace, Wat Nam Hu stands with grace, A sacred haven in Thailand's scenic embrace. Rooted in history, its origins unfold, A spiritual journey, centuries old. Founded in reverence, the temple's tale weaves, Through epochs of time, where tradition believes, Monks' chants echoed by the river's gentle flow, Wat Nam Hu's essence, a spiritual glow. Pai's cultural jewel, with architecture so grand, Wat Nam Hu beckons, a serene, spiritual land. Blossoming lotuses in the temple's sacred pond, A haven of peace, where tranquility is spawned.

Loved playing with the chickens. Made me miss all the little ones I left back home.

A quaint little pavilion temple on the water. The interior is decorated with numerous rooster statues. Earn some merits and feed the catfish and pigeons there. A very quiet and tranquil environment.

Nice temple. Has some information in English for tourists. You can buy food for the fish in the pond and donations for the monks for good merit.

Historical place ,holy ,peaceful and beautiful. Peaceful and historic temple since king Nareasuan maharach. There is a pagoda that contained the hair of her royal majesty Suphankanlaya (King Nareasuan’s elder sister ). Surprisingly, there's buddha Oun-Muang that has water stained in the statute head and don’t know water come from where Although trying to prove many times, people believed that it was holy water.

Good scenic view, quite and clean place. Most of the information is in local language, would’ve been great in English too. They have a pond with fish, ducks and turtles.

We have been there for a 10 day retreat and enjoyed the great introduction into Vipassana meditation with many other people from all over the world. We met many international meditators. Jirapa provided a great assistance to get used to monastery life and meditation. We hope to have the chance to come back someday.

Amazing and Beautiful Thai temple in Chiang Mai. Must visit this place, very cool museum and interesting history of this temple. More info for who’s interested to learning, practicing meditation by the teacher. Must visit

I was there for 6 days in October. I am incredibly glad that my first acquaintance with Vipassana happened in this place. It was incredibly difficult, but mentors and teachers are doing everything possible to make your path more comfortable. Large temple area, near a lake, adapted food, good accommodation. I will definitely come back here🙏🏽

I found this wonderful place through Google review, so here's my contribution as well. For me it was an incredible personal journey, I left lighter both in body and mind, with a better direct understanding of meditation and Buddhism. I highly appreciate what Ajahn Tong has brought to life here, with all the monks, nuns and laypersons involved, that give acces to everybody to acces Dharma and live a better life. It is a very good environment to experience a better way of being. This being said, here are few more specific points that might help: - a strong emphasis on walking meditation practice and sitting meditation, with simple, clear but also detailed instructions and gradual complexity - introduction tour in the first 2 days by a welcoming layperson, then daily interviews with a senior monk - own kuti with bathroom - lots of beautiful meditation halls - 2 delicious meals per day - everything is inside the main monastery grounds, so you are close to the Buddhist way of life (involvement is optional, with the exception of the opening and closing ceremony) - outlined daily program, but you are individually responsible for your meditation practice - no group meditation sessions (except the optional chanting / meditation with the monks and nuns in the morning or evening) I stayed for 7 full days, and it was just enough! I would be curious to try the full 21 days program though. I highly recommend this experience, at least once in a lifetime! May all beings be free from suffering!

I completed the 21-day Vipassana program here, and what an experience it has been! 🧘🏼‍♂️🌸 Wat Chom Thong is a beautiful monastery, with numerous temples and meditation halls of all kinds, 90 minutes west of Chiang Mai. The monastery, a towering golden temple with several buildings and living quarters, offers a set of incredible Vipassana retreats, which are ongoing throughout the entire year, both for Thai and for internationals. This place is incredible. It's run by monks and nuns, welcoming meditators who wish to toughen their mind-body connection and have some space to rest, find clarity and equanimity. Unlike Goenka, which lasts 10 days, has very strict and well-defined rules to follow to the letter, here things are more relaxed and flexible, relying on your own wisdom and judgement. There are rules and eight precepts which you must abide by, but in general you are the master of your own experience here. You are encouraged to keep silent as much as you can, though many choose to socialize with other meditators during the breaks in between meditations. There’s a beautiful, small lake behind the monastery, with breathtaking sunrises early in the morning. There is even a “coffee garden”, a charming cafe immersed in nature, where you can stop by to get a cappuccino, an ice coffee or, my favorite, a hot foamy green tea with soy milk. The living quarters are simple but functional and clean. They give you a room with everything you need, and no more, which I feel strikes a good balance. The schedule is quite tough: wake up at 4am with the sound of the bells (and the half-stray dogs who enthusiastically share the space with you), breakfast at 6am, then lunch at 11am, and no more solid food until the next day. The rest of the time you meditate. Here, you disconnect to reconnect. No phones, no music, no movies, no reading, no writing, speaking as little as possible… although there is really nobody there to police you. It’s up to you, really. I’ve seen some people meditating 12-14 hours a day and not speaking to anyone, and people who took it a lot more lightly, checking instagram and doing home calls between meditations, although the latter didn’t last very long. They are quite flexible, both with the practice and the length of your stay. Some people do 5 days, others 10. If you can, I suggest doing the 21-day program, and then see how you feel, perhaps even continue with the advanced. Personally, I had my breakthroughs after the 11th day. If I had stopped earlier, I would’ve left with a completely different view of this place, its people, and of myself. I won’t go into the experience of the practice itself, it’s something you have to discover on your own. I was lucky to have Phra Ajahn Poonsak (Art) Suwadhano as my teacher, a gentle soul dedicated to helping others strengthen their mind and body through the practice of Vipassana. Even though he’s been fighting a fatal disease for a long time, he still came to give us guidance. Some days he was too ill to come in person, but he always made time for me. Really an inspiration. As the final days were approaching, I wanted to ask if I could stay a bit longer. Before I could explain why, Jipara, my personal contact, stopped me and said, “This is your home. You can stay as long as you need”, with the kind of loving compassion that almost had me crying. And they do all this absolutely for free. They offer you a room, teach you a practice that gives you mental tools that can make you stronger and help you for your entire life, feed you twice a day, give you access to some of the most majestic halls and meditation spaces you will ever see in your life, absolutely for free. It’s amazing. Since this place is run by donations, they invite you to leave one before you leave, which I absolutely encourage you to do: whatever you can, within your means, give as much as you feel is right. Absolutely magical place. I could write a whole book about my experience here, and perhaps one day I will, but for this review I’ll stop here. Highly recommended 👍🏻 🧘🏼‍♂️

Great international vipassana meditation retreat temple under teaching by Ajarn Tong. Teachers and office stuffs act with pure Dhamma, they are always welcoming to help your practice. I appreciated teachings I’ve received here. plus, food provided here is super, I look forward to meal time everyday. Would come back again.

I initially planned to stay 5 days, but later I extended to 7 days, because I found that I gained improvement everyday and wanted to achieve more. Life here is both easy and tough. Wat Chom Tong provides individually clean kuti (with private bathroom) to meditators, ensuring we are able to do the meditation in our own rooms. Everything necessary for living are accessible within 10 mins walk, from snacks, foods, toiletries to cloths and medicines. The meals here are very nice too, while the breakfast is a bit heavy to me, the lunch always gives me surprises. I am so lucky to have Jirapa as my teacher, she is such a graceful and peaceful Nun, who patiently responded to my questions and troubles. Above all, the best part is my daily reporting to Prah Ajah, talking to him makes me refreshed every morning. And I progressed gradually under his instructions with patience and enouragements. Here comes the tough side, you must fight with hunger and long hours of practice. All in all, I looking forward to coming back someday and finish 21 days basic course.

An attractive Burmese-style temple with an unusual bronze Buddha statue from Mandalay.

... offerings for Buddha ... wonderful spirituel place in Mae Hong Son ...

Normal temple by wood

Nice temple.

A nice temple

(Translated by Google) This is the second temple built in Mae Hong Son Province. The building is notable for its Burmese architectural style roof. (Original) วัดที่สร้างขึ้นเป็นแห่งที่ 2 ของจังหวัดแม่ฮ่องสอน สิ่งปลูกสร้างเด่นที่หลังคาสถาปัตยกรรมพม่า

(Translated by Google) Walking to offer alms at Sai Yud Market, I was struck by this temple right next to the market, Wat Hua Wiang, Mae Hong Son. Shan art features the Phra Chao Para Lakhang Shrine, a wooden building with a zinc roof. Inside, a Buddha image is enshrined. It was cast in Mandalay, Myanmar, and then divided into nine parts. It was then floated down the Salween River. It was then assembled at Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu and enshrined at Wat Hua Wiang, where it remains today. (Original) เดินมาใส่บาตรที่ตลาดสายหยุดแล้วสดุดตากับวัดนี้ที่อยู่ข้างๆตลาดเลย วัดหัวเวียง แม่ฮ่องสอน ศิลปกรรมไทใหญ่มีวิหารพระเจ้าพาราละแข่ง เป็นอาคารไม้ มุงด้วยสังกะสี ภายในประดิษฐานพระพุทธรูป ที่หล่อที่เมืองมัณฑะเลย์ ประเทศพม่า แล้วแยกเป็น 9 ส่วน แล้วอัญเชิญล่องมาตามแม่น้ำสาละวิน จากนั้นนำไปประกอบที่วัดพระธาตุดอยกองมู และอัญเชิญมาประดิษฐาน ณ วัดหัวเวียงจนถึงปัจจุบัน

100 baht entry fee for foreigners, just to watch the waterfall from far away and take a picture. Better watch it from the car park... Pang Ung is closed, why didn't the park management reconsider adjust the prices then? Asking 5 times more the price than thr locals it is pure discrimination

Waterfall itself is nice, however you can't even get close to it.. Only view it from 200 meters away. It's a shame they charge 100 baht for that

Can’t swim here, 100 baht per person. If you stop Pang Ung as well it is worth it. If not, not recommended.

This waterfall is amazing 😍 especially after the rain season. Right now the waterfall is not worth visiting because it has very little amount of water. But after the rain season I can imagine the waterfall is amazing 😍😍 Entry fee for foreigners: Children until 3: for free Children 3 - 14 : 50 THb Children and adults above 14: 100 THb per person Scooter parking 20 THB Car parking: 30 THB

Nice waterfall but not worth the 100 baht payment to enter. You can just view it from far, The entrance is blocked

Absolutely worth the ride! I went at around 4PM so it was completely free and the bathrooms were open. There were other people there hanging out. It's not that far off the loop and totally worth the ride. Not to mention the small villages you pass through and the amazing views and roads you take to get here. There is no hike to this waterfall but there are stairs down to it. Wear shoes and be safe! Signs say no swimming or smoking just fyi

Nice and wide waterfall. Currently a bit dry but still nice to look at and have a stop before the village up the mountain. Entry is 100 Baht which is ok but could be less. Toilets are really not well maintained.

We stop by cause it was on our way and found it pretty interesting. It all feel a bit abandoned, we didn't saw any people, so after watching monument outside we see there is also some museum there, went in a found it really interesting. There is a nice toilet too. On the way out we saw there is an entrance fee of 100 bht.

Interesting place to understand history. And a nice stop along the way. Combine with lunch or dinner at Dads Garden (Cafe).

It was along the way in our drive around the Mae Hong Son loop so we stopped by. The parking lot was empty so we decided to not to pay 100 baht to go inside. Thailand was Japan's strong ally during WWII and even up to now, the 2 countries have maintained strong ties. I like museums and learning about history but I did not feel the need to spend money here. Besides, we don't want to be on the road after sunset. If you have time, it might be worth your while to check out inside. But Google has provided great articles about Thai-Japan relationship as well.

Very charming Short 10 minute video about the towns history and the history of SE Asia during WW2, turns out i knew nothing about it. Then walk through the new and well presented museum (AC) see some of the artefacts, learn more about the area and its population, its history and geography. All aigns have thai and a well worded english translation (i assume its a translation, as i dont know thai;) Entry fee was 100 i believe but i think it was worth it. Have a great day!!

If you have any interest in history, this is a worthwhile visit. We spent an hour there and the kids liked it. The place is quite small but the exhibition is well presented in both Thai and English.

Quaint place, very quiet. The people at the counter didnt say anything and it looks deserted so we opted not to go in (tickets required if you wanna enter). We did a short look around on the outside where theres small tidbits of info regarding the friendship treaty. Ok to stop by if you're passing by

Quiet not to busy. Very good museum lots to see. Wouldn't spend longer than an hour here if you are doing the MHS loop. There is a school close by with kids that wave at you. Nice stop

We stayed in this village overnight and definitely recommend to visit it. There is an entrance fee - money that goes to fund this community (the village is self-administrated), so it's actually good that they are empowered to manage their tourism unlike the human zoos around Chiang Mai. This village is actually lively and people live normally (when we visited, there was a multi-day football tournament going on, with other people from nearby villages coming in too!) There is also a common misconception that this village is karen long-neck only, which is not - there are also white karen, red karen, karen big ears and some shan, which is the way Karen people have always lived, even better if you are interested to discover different tribes and cultures. We got to discuss with some of the Karens in the village, very warm and welcoming people that can speak English. If you wish to stay there, ideally contact a homestay a bit before, but you can also ask around on site (which we did). Most handictafts are handmade by the women of the village, hence great souvenirs.

I’m giving this 2 stars because the boatman managed to find a cold beer otherwise it would have been zero. The whole experience left us feeling used and abused. 480bt just to enter the village for two of us. then we were told that for a dirty room in a house with barely a mattress on the floor it was 500bt plus an extra 200bt for breakfast - no dinner no electricity no pillows no towels no shower. Seriously? I’m not sure about the other reviews but the whole thing felt like a blatant tourist rip off. Save your money and time for somewhere more authentic.

There are actually 2 ways to get here… 1) Boat ride from “Huai Dua boat port” pier (refer to google map). The boat accommodates up to 6 people and it costs 800 THB to the village and return back to the pier. It costs 800 THB even if you go alone. It takes 20 minutes each way. Do look out for the sign to this pier when you are on the main road. 2) Look for the sign on the main road that indicates you have to make a turn to go to the village directly. Upon reaching , you will need to take a short boat ride across the shore to the other side where the village is located. The entrance fee is 200 THB and 20 THB boat ride fee. The main “tourist street” with stalls selling about the same things is only about 300m long. You can also wear the fake half gold rings on your neck and take photos with the long neck women. You can also walk down from the “tourist street” to look at their school, church and badminton court. There is no internet signal inside the village unless you use AIS which may give you 2 bars at most

This place gets mixed reviews. This is not a fake “tourist” village, the women don’t fake wearing the brass rings, these people are not zoo animals and nobody is being exploited. This is an ethnic Karen village, they still use the Karenni language and practice their traditions 35 years after fleeing Myanmar. The longnecked ladies are mostly older women who sell crafts and pose for photos, they are friendly and warm and there is little pressure to buy anything. These are relatively poor people who farm and produce products from available materials. The village has a school, a small clinic and a church. There were a few other visitors when we were there, limited English in the village. You have to take a 1 minute boat ride across the Pai Rover which is 20 Baht round trip and pay 200 Baht to visit the village. The money goes to the village! You can purchase handicrafts or not, there is also a small noodle shop at the entrance to the village. You can also trek in the area to cave. The village itself can be covered in 1/2 hour

This is a wonderful place. My advice is to put aside any notion of ‘tourist trap’ and speak to the people that call this home. Unless they are a group of very good actors, it is humbling and a privilege to support. 30 second boat crossing, 220THB all-in.

An authentic Karen village. About 260 peoples living there. Very nice peoples. A place to go respecting the Karen living there. Small road but good to go there and use of a boat to cross the river.

An interesting village but I visited with mixed feelings. I couldn't help feeling the women are being exploited, though the neck rings are their tradition so ... . It's a very poor village seemingly surviving on visitors donations and purchases. The small restaurant near the river was quite good.

Best bit is the lake in the centre where you can feed the thousands of fish! We were there on a power cut night so walking at was off but it’s a great little town

Nice atmosphere for having dinner provided it's not raining. Buy your food and sit beside the lake to enjoy it. Each vendor has their own sitting space.

The saddest reason of a night market. Can be finished in 5min flat. But in the sleepy city of Mae hong son there isn't much to do anyways. Food (pond side dining on grilled salty fish and salad) isn't tasty (but ingredients are fresh). At least it's available everyday.

Not to be confused with the Chong Kam night market across the street on the lakeside. This walking street is an area with tables and chairs with a stage for live music (from 7pm- but we didn't hear any?) it's more like an outdoor "food court" as there are stalls selling drinks, eats

Small street with some of food court. Not too many people however the food is good and the price is cheap.

We have LOVED this night market. Typically we are disappointed in food at markets - but this one has restored our happiness. The food is delicious, great price, and wide variety. We have been able to try new foods, find our favorites, and stroll happily along the lake. The items that are for sale here are all great hand crafted quality. I think what we love most is that it is authentic. The locals all come here to eat and there are the foreigners all riding the Mae Hong Son loop that come, as well. Makes a nice mix. This night market is every evening along the street in front of the lake. Usually starts setting up about 5 and by dusk all the vendors are here. Maybe lasts until about 10pm. The biggest nights are Thursday and Sunday. We have loved Mae Hong Son so much we have spent 5 days here and eaten something from the market every day. @FollowBrownBacon

Nice place to stroll and get some food with a view. Maybe I ordered badly but I think the food might not be great in some stalls. Many sell out early, especially the grilled things.

Beautiful temple on the top of the hill. The observation deck offers stunning panoramic views of the city, airport, town and mountains.

Last time I came here was almost 20 years ago. I visited again on September 2025. The place was lacked of proper maintenance. It looked worn out. But, yeah, nothing lasts forever. I loved to sit there enjoying panoramic view of this isolated town, absorbing peacefulness. It is the great place to recharge and revive your energy.

Beautiful temple with stunning views! The temple is located on top of a hill, offering a breathtaking view of the entire city. If you visit around sunset, you’ll find a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the scenery. You can also hike up from the temple in the city if you enjoy climbing — it’s a rewarding walk. Next to the main temple, there’s a small memorial site dedicated to bikers who lost their lives on the loop. It’s a peaceful and meaningful place, suitable for both adults and children. There’s also a small coffee shop near the top where you can grab a drink or something cold to refresh yourself.

We drove up in the evening. The night view of Mae Hong Son town was beautiful. And this Wat is amazing with Burmese architecture influences.

Best place to see Full view of Mea Hong Son Old temple the most iconic Place in City. Don’t miss it if you come to this lovely city

Pretty clean and nice views all around, very nice people

We drove up here on a weekday with a rental car. I saw some people saying it was an easy drive, in my opinion it is not. But the bigger question is if it is worth the drive....it totally is. Very peaceful environment and a lot longer than I expected. If you are up for an adventure this is a good start

Beautiful and peaceful spot near Pai! The view here is absolutely stunning. The bamboo bridge stretches for about one kilometer across the rice fields, offering many great photo opportunities along the way. At the end of the walk, you’ll find a lovely temple, and there are a few shaded spots where you can stop to relax. I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon, as it can get quite hot during the day. There’s also a small shop at the entrance where you can buy cold drinks. The entrance fee is 30 THB for adults, and children enter for free.

A beautiful place to see. I was a bit skeptical after hearing someone say it was underwhelming, but I was amazed by the views and the nature. I did expect a round trip, but it turns out you simply walk up to the temple and then return the same way. Don’t let that fool you—it’s still a stunning walk with beautiful scenery. There are a few cafés along the way that make for nice stops if you want a break. Take your time and enjoy!

Such a lovely way to spend a few hours in Pai. The walk itself takes about 30 minutes and takes you past beautiful landscapes, swings, and photo opportunities. You can also do archery and shooting and win a small prize which was great entertainment during the walk. Would recommend to anyone in Pai.

One of the most beautiful places I have visited. Only 30 BHT entrance fee and for an additional 30 BHT you can shoot bow & arrow and some rubber ducks, where you can easily win a nice little bracelet. The place was absolutely incredible and the scenery was stunning, can only recommend. The way here is tuff tho, so if you’re on a scooter on your own it should not be your first ride.

This place was so amazing!! Really cheap entry fee and there are lots of activities to do inside like feeding fish and pigs and also some games and archery. The views are phenomenal. It’s definitely worth walking all the way along to the end where they are some temples up in the forest. Also bring a pen to write you name on a rock as there is an area to do so.

Amazing valley filled with rice fields that stretch to the edges of the rain forest. The rice fields are beautifully carved into the landscape and make it seem as if the fields are a natural continuation of the rain forest. There are some aspects that are a bit touristy but overall the place looks like it was taken from an 18th century village. I would highly recommend it as one of the must see if you are in the Pai region.

Nice little getaway from the hectic town.. lots of shops selling local snacks, free samples, wines, etc. - funny thing yesterday, all the wine they sell here are much cheaper than the prices they charge at sunset view (350 a bottle / 600 for 2). In the Chinese village it's 250 a bottle / 400 for 2.. and they have way more selection. You can taste before you buy , unlike the view point place I went to yesterday. The girl at the shop gave me lots of samples lol Snacks here are also very good price compared to other places. This place also has archery, shooting, etc., However I don't recommend riding the horse. The animals are exploited for tourism.. charging 50 per ride, don't support such abuse, and for that I will take off 1+ point. From what I read the people here are ethnic Chinese from Yunnan in China, they provide for themselves as they do not have Thai citizenship but refugee status, and need permission to leave the province. I recommend checking it out as you will be helping out the villagers.. and they are not as greedy for money as other tourist places here in Pai.. heck, they don't even charge a entrance fee here. And the food is cheap compared to other places (see the wine part I wrote above).

A peaceful little village not too far away from Pai. There’s are little shops and cafes here which are very reasonably priced. The shop owners are very friendly and kind and offer lots samples before you buy. There are also activities such as archery, BB gun shooting and a large swing, again reasonably priced. It is free to enter and walk around, if you want to climb the castle it is a 20baht maintenance fee. If you are in Pai with transport and looking to kill an hour, I would recommend visiting.

Cute little village to walk around. Unsure if this was because we visited during low season but it was free to walk round the grounds, only 10 baht for a photo in some of the chairs or 20 baht to go up into the castle area, which we didn’t do. Nice cafes and shops. Worth a stop by on the way to the viewpoint like we did.

You have to try the 4 person swing here, this was a highlight of our day - only 25baht per person to ride it. The rest of the village is so beautiful, the staff were all so friendly and welcoming - we even got to do free tea tasting! Such a fun little stop on our tour :)

It worth a visit and specifically if you like to take photos... there are some fun activities like shooting. You can continue the road and get to wonderful views and coffee shop after visiting g the village

A nice cute little Chinese village... Lovely cultural vibe

Beautiful old Chinese town small but lots to see for a walk around

Doi Inthanon National Park is a must-visit! We had an incredible day here — the weather shifted from clear skies to clouds, and both views were absolutely spectacular in their own way. The twin temples at the summit were stunning, and there’s even a little coffee shop with a top floor that offered beautiful views. This was the only time in Thailand that I actually felt chilly, and it was such a refreshing break to enjoy the cool air for a few hours. We also stopped at a small village where we learned how scarves and clothes are made and had a delicious dinner. Having a guide made the experience even better — we learned so much about the local people, culture, and history. Highly recommend visiting with a guide if you can!

Doi Inthanon National Park is exceptionally well maintained. The paths, gardens, and viewing areas are clean, clearly marked, and well cared for. You can tell there’s consistent upkeep—no trash, no overgrown trails, and facilities are in good condition. The atmosphere is serene. As you climb higher, the air cools and everything slows down. The park often sits above the cloud line, so you’re surrounded by mist and drifting clouds that give it an almost otherworldly calm. It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels far removed from city noise. The combination of clean, orderly grounds and the natural beauty of the mountains makes it an ideal place to slow down, walk, and take in the scenery. It’s one of those rare spots where human care and nature work in harmony.

We visited Doi Inthanon National Park today, and despite the long journey from Chiang Mai, it was absolutely worth it. We traveled by scooter, which took a little over two hours to reach the summit. Upon entering the park, there is an entrance fee of 300 THB per person plus 20 THB for the scooter. Our first stop was at the waterfalls, which were beautiful and free to visit. From there, we continued up the mountain to do the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail — a 3 km scenic loop. This hike costs 200 THB per group and includes a guide, which is mandatory (you cannot do this trail without one). A group can include several people, but in our case, we were just two. After the hike, we headed all the way up to the summit, where no additional fees were required. There are a few smaller trails at the top as well, and they are also free to explore. The park itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and refreshing mountain air. It was around 17°C when we arrived, but it can be much colder in the morning, so make sure to dress warmly. Although it’s quite expensive, especially with the dual pricing for tourists (which is very frustrating in Thailand), the experience is still definitely worth it. Doi Inthanon is a must-visit for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone looking to escape the heat and enjoy some truly unique scenery.

Great and large national park. We came for birdwatching. Perhaps October not the best month but we did manage to see a lot of new birds since we are not from Thailand. The summit was sunny for a short while before 10 am. Better to come before all the tour busses arrive from Chiang Mai as of 10.30 am. The walking path past the summit was closed until October 30. We did manage to spot birds at that parking spot. It's just passed the official parking for the temples. Tickets for the park are 300 baht and a car costs 30 baht. Valid for 5 days.

I rented a bike the day before (250 baht) n I set off from town 5 plus in morning . Is end Oct 2025.. a little chilly on the way. Easy to navigate using Google map. Can drink n eat along the way .. many petrol kiosks. small eateries etc Entrance is 300 baht n 20 for the motorbike . Was 11 degrees celcius when I was at the peak. (About 7am) … chilly but good to soak up the sun . Went for one of the nature trail at the peak which a memorial site for soldier ((?)) was erected . I swept the area clean with the broom … to make the devas, spirits n animals happy . Went to one of the waterfall .. Just ok Cannot dip Just see As I rode down the Doi .. , I went to the ticket office originally to use the toilet but I heard water … there’s a river flowing .. water probably from the waterfalls up there … Waterfalls or rivers or rain or whatever … aren’t they all the same ? we people attached a name to form(rupa) Anyway I changed into a short n enjoyed the cold water under the hot sun . Passed by a beautiful temple n turned in to pay respect to Buddha There’s a jade Buddha statue in main hall. 2 price system for locals n foreigners .!!! is it worth 300 baht ? Is a very well managed park Perhaps too well managed with steps etc (Isn’t it supposed to be back to nature ?) I did enjoy my time here Perhaps the authority can really look into dual pricing system n the (probably hefty)300 baht ??

The highest mountain in Thailand. Sometimes people call it “the roof of Thailand“. It’s much cooler there, so don’t forget to bring a sweater. The view is spectacular and the hike is nice and shaded.

Don’t rely on the photos. It was a huge disappointment after driving 2 hours from Chiang Mai. You must pay for each entrance, about 300 baht per person. The place feels commercial and lacks any real charm, except for the waterfall, which is genuinely impressive (and was for free !) P.S. take warm clothes if you decide to go

Spectacular views of nature. Lots of flowers when I visited in early May. Nice breeze and peaceful atmosphere.

We visited the place in June. The rainy season made everything lush and beautiful. No tourists-just us. Perfect! As the fog slowly lifted, it revealed breathtaking panoramic mountain views.

The sea of cloud is magnificent! The view point is spacious with 270 degree of Mountain View! Gazed at the cloud sea under the morning sun is unforgettable experience!

Tranquil, quiet, very high, lush and green. Unfortunately under renovations so nothing to do or see here except the view at the moment

Totally cool, great views with lots of spots to take pictures. Highly recommended place to visit in Pai. But driving up there itself can be adventurous

Amazing visit. Extremely friendly. once in a lifetime experience. Very intimate. Everyone who works here is super pleasant. You’re walked through the process in a way that calms any anxiety. Getting to just be around these animals is inspiring and helping the community continue to care for them is very recommended!

It's truly beautiful and well maintained here! Although when we came no shop was open, but only the gardener was cleaning up, it was nice. There are ways and small viewpoints and benches for the visitors and tourists to enjoy the stay! Nice viewpoint!

This was a very beautiful spot to stop to break up the drive. The price wasn't too expensive and they even have a local price for Thai people to visit.. The foreigner price is more expensive 🤪... The fish were beautiful to look at and feed. We sat down at the one of the shops for chicken.. It was nice that the shop owners were calm. The only thing is the chicken was stale and not very hot so I think the food could be improved a little for the price.. Otherwise definetly worth stopping still 😊🙏

The Fish Cave Park is a very friendly and beautiful place to visit. I was expecting the cave itself to be larger and more impressive, so it was a bit of a disappointment. Nevertheless, the park is peaceful and relaxing — a nice stop for a short break during your trip. The entrance fee is 100 THB for adults and 50 THB for children. At the entrance, you can also buy fish food (50 THB for three baskets). It’s fun for kids to feed the fish and enjoy the calm atmosphere.

Great fun with nice river, view and a lot of fish. Entry costs 100 baht for foreigners

Very beautiful and peaceful little park! Right of the side of the road and only 100bth to enter. Nice walking paths through serene nature and even took a quick swim in the river.

Not realy a cave but its a combo ticket with the waterfall i did earlyer that day. Go to the back of the beautifull jungle park, buy some food and feed the fish, go all the way to the back, there you can see the fish swimming in the cave below you. Great fun, think it would be a great thing to do with kids.

Pay attention! I give 5 stars because you pay once for 3 place: fish cave, waterfall and park with rafting during a day. We didn't visit the last one and cashier couldn't explain included rafting in a ticket or not, so i don't know. But cave and waterfall are amazing! After waterfall in 5 km are small farm, you can visit it free

I would not call it a cave more like two holes where the fishes eat your food your bring them. You can buy the food at the cave for 10 thb just put a 10 thb in the cup or you can buy at many places around the park or outside. Do not care about what people say the fish not it eat salad or the fish not eat fish food. Some fish are picky but there is plenty of fish and they eat mostly anything you give them. Its a 20 min walk before you reach the "cave" and you can feed fishes along the way as well. Thai 20 thb and Non Thai 200 THB however you can visit the waterfall with the same name and you can visit the park along the same route 4001 it is the same park. So if you planning to visit 3 places in one day it is worth the price. For fish cave alone i would not pay 200 THB. The staff is very friendly and can tell you where you can use the ticket more. If you want you can camp here as well but i see nobody did that but you can we asked.

An awesome place to visit with great views over the mountains and valley’s surrounding. Entry fee is only 20 THB per person. The last section is walking and takes about 30 to 40 minutes and is up hill all the way. The parking area can be a little tricky to get to, you have 2 options: 1, The Quickest route involves 40 minutes on a dirt track with some concrete sections, it’s not difficult, you do not need a 4 wheel drive and we saw many normal saloons doing this trip, but some areas are very rough and you do need to be very careful. 2, There is a route which is shorter but very rough and challenging, for this you do definitely need a 4 wheel drive and need to be confident in your abilities, the track is very narrow and washed out in places. We did it in a Ranger and it took us 3 hours.

Nice place to explore, from 180m to 1150m, 25 degrees Celsius to 20°C. Pass by villages, trees, and beautiful view. 4 wheel car is able to reach the top. Very exciting and adventurous trip, good driving skill needed. Highly recommended 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭👍👍👍

Do not go by bike. The first part was good, but the last 7km is sand and rocks. Maybe if you have a dirtbike it is possible, but with a regular one it's a no go. The first part is fun to ride and you can still get beautiful views

If you ride a motorbike, you will have a wonderful time riding to the mountain. About 60% of the way is paved, the rest is dirt/gravel. Nice curves going up and up. I went during the rainy season, so I got stuck at the bottom of the hike for 2 hours. The hike takes about 30 minutes and is very steep and slippery. Unfortunately, the summit was in a constant big cloud so I couldn't enjoy the view. Simply for the bike ride I give 4 stars. Also, despite the rain, the dirt/gravel road held well and no problems at all on the way back.

Beautiful view and hike. The summit is quite dirty but it's still beautiful. Super easy hike only less than one kilometer. The road up is quite rough definitely need a four wheel drive.

Very cool spot to camp or hangout. You can rent a tent and blankets for 300 bahts at the parking lot. You can hire a porter for 200 bahts he will carry a maximum of about 20kg You can also bring your own tent and it's free entrance. The view point is great and takes about 35 minutes if you maintain a regular pace. The road to get there is doable with a motorbike, example Honda wave or any other bigger bike, but it's not the easier road to travel on. Only Thai people hangout there and everyone is friendly. Good luck and enjoy the location.

Magneficent &Stunning view from top. 40-60min walk to the top. No facility or food available, must bring our own tent and food. Good thing that still have toilet available with limited water supply. Need pick up truck to drive to start walking point.

A lovely statue in a prominent place with people praying and placing flowers and incense. No info in English so I checked on Google to know more: " Situated at the foot of Doi Kong Mu, this monument commemorates the first governor of Mae Hong Son. Phraya Singhanatracha is a Thai Yai native from Burma (Myanmar). He was regarded by the people as the governor of Khun Yuam Town, which was to the south of Mae Hong Son. Later, he was officially installed as the governor of Mae Hong Son by the King of Lanna in 1874."

If you want to know about the story of the city and its founder you can read in English and Thai here. It has good information about the man who was hard working and loyal to his people. If you lazy to travel you can just read the info on the picture here below. Free entrance, plenty of parking and open 24 hours. Bring some flowers and show some respect of this great man.

I don't know about this statue. Bcoz I can't read Thai langue. I saw local people are praying him.

We liked the very well-kept garden with beautiful flowers around the memorial, great for taking pictures!

Been to Maehongson for a few times with lots of good memories.

The statue makes a good photo.

(Translated by Google) Located at the foot of Doi Kong Mu, this monument commemorates Phraya Singhanatracha, the first governor of Mae Hong Son and the city's name. The Phraya Singhanatracha Memorial is located at the entrance to the city center.
