Located in the northwest of Thailand, and bordering Mynamar, Mae Hong Son is titled "city of three mist" due the fact that Mae Hong Son is covered all year round by mist. There are 7 districts of Mae Hong Son province including Mae Hong Son, Khun Yuam, Pai, Mae Sariang, Mae La Noi, Sop Moei, Pangmapha.

Mae Hong Son is the most mountainous province in Thailand, with approximately 90% of terrain being jungle and thick forest. Mae Hong Son is the least densely populated province in Thailand with a population of approximately 250,000. Approximately 60% of the population is made up of hill tribe groups such as the Karen, Lawa, Hmong and Lahu, with the 'Shan' (an ethnic minority group who originate from Southern China) making up most of the remainder In the 19th Century Mae Hong Son became famed as an elephant training area, where the Royal family in Chiang Mai hired Shan people to capture wild elephants and train them in the mountainous terrain and Jong Kham Lake (today a main tourist attraction in the center of Mae Hong Son town) was the bathing spot.

Mae Hong Son’s vast natural reserves of teak wood made it a boom town for teak logging until this was outlawed in the early 20th century when it became evident teak was being depleted. Now it is illegal to cut teak wood trees, and the government is trying to conserve this resource through growing teak plantations many of which can be seen from the main road on the Mae Hong Son Loop.

Shan people are the largest ethnic group in Maehong son. Men wear buttons down the middle, the women traditionally wear sarongs and beautifully embroidered blouses, either short or long sleeved that are fastened across the chest from left to right. Both Shan men and women use woven shoulder bags and hats that are called “gub tai”. They speak their own Shan language, often called Thai Yai.

Wat Gong Ghan is where they observe Songkran each year. The mural in the main hall tells the story of a village called Gong Ghan, where Chiang Mai nobles discovered a large Buddha statue in the 19th century and erected a temple named Sri Muang Ma. The statue is still there, now painted gold. I sit before it and contemplate the seeming smile on the lips, which are oddly red, as are those of the white and yellow lions that guard the hall's entrance. All of the temple sculpture has the same ethnic flourishes, including austere curves in the timber and concrete. The purity of the local craftsmanship extends to the wonderful murals.Things get more sophisticated at Wat Prao Noom, whose principal hall is stunning with its black and gold decoration.

The area is lively during the rainy season, when tourists flow in to see the beautiful rice fields preparing for harvest. I arrive just as the rains cease and the paddies are magnificently gilded, shimmering at sunset.

Chiang Dao lies above the Menam Ping gorge on the green slopes of Doi Chiang Dao mountain. The name means "City of Stars", and derives from its earlier name Piang Dao, or "(at the) level of the stars". Chiang Dao Cave, 5 km off the main highway, is the best-known attraction here, offering 12 kilometers of stalactite-laden caves — although only five of the caverns are accessible to the public.
