Mae Hong Son Tour & Hilltribe

Start from THB7,920

The people of Mae Hong Son consists of the Shans who live in the city and the hilltribe people who live in remote villages on mountain tops where elements of lifestyle have changed little in hundreds of years. The city is covered with the mist all year long. Mae Hong son gains its nickname of "the City of Three Mists" from the fact that it has dewy mist in the winter, forest fire mist in the summer and rainy mist in the rainy season.

Then continue to "long-neck" or "giraffe tribe'. But the women who wear these brass rings on their neck belong to a sub-group of the Karen known as the Padaung. There are other sub-groups who do not and never have practiced this custom. A further myth is that these rings act to elongate the wearer's neck. Any chiropractor or orthopedic surgeon will tell you that this would lead to paralysis or death.

 After breakfast, catch the earliest flight to Mae Hong Sorn, land of mists. Nestled in a deep valley and hemmed in by high mountain ranges, this mystical town is virtually covered in mist all year round. On arrival, you will be met by a guide and transferred to the pier for an exhilarating 45 minutes boat trip along the Pai river, to visit the exotic"Padong Long Neck Hilltribe". The womenfolk wear brass rings around their necks and it is the custom to add a ring on, each year. Return back to Mae Hong Sorn where lunch will be served at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, visit 4 beautiful Myanmar style temples: Wat Jongkam, Wat Jongklang, Wat Doi Kong Moo and Wat Hao Wieng. From the top of Wat Doi Kong Moo, a superb view of town and the surrounding countryside can be seen. Transfer back to Mae Hong Sorn airport and take the late flight back to Chiangmai.
