Highlights of Mae Hong Son
The highlights of Mae Hong Son, for example, Pai, Pang Ung (The Royal Initiative Project Pang Tong 2 – Pang Ung), Yun Lai Scenic Point, and Ban Rak Thai. And if you want a bit more convenient trip, the viewpoint at Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu in Mae Hong Son Town is delight enough with the extreme environment.

Another must-not-thing in Mae Hong Son is the spectacular landscape of Thung Bua Tong (the Mexican Marigold Field) at Doi Mae U-Kho, where the place is well-known as the first Mexican Marigold field opened to the public in Thailand. The lovely flower meadow covered about 1,600,000 sqm as the yellow duvet blanketing all through the hill in November to December annually. Indeed, it’s once a year!
