This location also offers a free Hmong costume changing service. If you'd like to try on stylish Hmong clothing and take some cool photos, feel free to do so. Maelek also mentioned that we can contribute a small donation to purchase supplies for the Hmong children. After saying goodbye to Maelek, it was time to head up the mountain again.

I don't know if it's cold elsewhere, but it's very cool here.

The rain falls, the sun shines, and it feels quite pleasant. Sitting with legs dangling, swinging gently in a hammock.

After a grueling 30-kilometer climb, fatigue vanished into thin air...

The next activity will be a guided tour by a local guide to experience the way of life of the villagers in Ban Huai Hom.

Let's get started when you're ready. - Nung, Song, and Sam.

The community practices mixed farming, rotating crops according to the seasons.

Rice Terraces: This area is separate from the homestays. The natural feature of this place is the water management system that circulates from high to low. We noticed that there are small stream channels throughout the village. No matter where you walk, you can hear the sound of trickling water, making it a truly relaxing experience.

Dinner at Home Stay Baan Huai Hom

For dinner, we enjoyed a simple yet delicious meal at Home Stay Baan Huai Hom. The dishes were prepared using fresh, local ingredients and were so flavorful that we all had seconds (and some even thirds!).

Early Morning Departure and Refreshing Stop at Lum Wiang

The next morning, we woke up early and set off on our journey. After a satisfying breakfast, we stopped at Lum Wiang in Mae Sariang for a refreshing break. The restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, including the traditional Thai snack "Ma Hor." This sweet and sour treat was the perfect way to cool down and energize ourselves for the rest of the day.
