Our Chiang Mai-Mae Hong Son trip began with a family desire.

Booked a flight in March with Vietjet for 4 people at a price of over 2,000 baht.
The flight was booked for the end of October, from October 26th to 31st.
Booked accommodation at Liwaen Rak Thai through their Facebook page. Their booking system opened in June and the price was 2,950 baht for 4 people.
Booked a car from the Hertz booth at the "Secondary Cities Travel Fair". We booked a 1.8-liter engine car because we needed to drive up the mountain. There was a promotion at the time: buy 5 vouchers and get 1 free, which brought the price down to less than 1,000 baht per voucher.
Booked accommodation at Huen Tai Resort with a promotion for 2 people at 990 baht. We bought 2 vouchers and were able to book the room we wanted.

To get the best prices, it's important to plan ahead. Based on my research, I recommend visiting Chiang Mai on your travel dates, as we both love Chiang Mai. Here's the proposed itinerary:

Fly from Suvarnabhumi to Chiang Mai in the evening and pick up a Hertz rental car.

Great, the car looks new. Ours is the Civic model.

Hasten to Wat Phra That Doi Kham, take your father and mother to worship Luang Pho Tan Jai. In the late afternoon, the atmosphere is very good.

The first night we checked into B2 Green. It was just a place to sleep, but we liked it. The room was very good for the price, which was around 600 baht per room.

(Forgot to take a picture)

Went out to eat at our usual restaurant when we come to Chiang Mai, Suan Pak Oh Kajoo, which was a big hit with the family.

The journey began in the morning, heading towards Mae Rim. Reaching Pai around noon, we stopped to capture the scenic beauty of the Pai Bridge. A delightful break at Coffee In Love followed before continuing our journey.

Doi Kiew Lom is another viewpoint with stunningly beautiful skies.

Let's have lunch at the "Hanoi Leg-Dangling Noodle Shop" at Baan Ja Bo. The atmosphere is great, the noodles are delicious, and the price is cheap, only 35 baht.

The journey continued, with only forests and mountains along the way.

We arrived at our accommodation for the second night, Leewin Rak Thai. Wow, it's truly beautiful.

The evening meal was a set Yunnan Chinese dinner enjoyed at the resort, as the sun began to set and the air grew cooler.

Sitting under the stars at night amidst the tea plantation with a cool breeze is the ultimate relaxation.

Our goal for this trip was to visit Pang Ung. We set our alarm for 5:45 AM, but by the time we actually woke up, it was almost 6:00 AM. The sun was already starting to rise, and we wondered if there would still be any fog. What should we do?

Head down to capture the morning mist over the water in front of the resort before it disappears.

Good decision! The view is amazing, just like the pictures. 5555

It's late, but the view from Pang Ung is still beautiful. The atmosphere is pleasant, with a light mist floating above the water. Although the weather is not yet very cold, the overall atmosphere is truly wonderful.

We rented a raft for 150 baht, which can accommodate two people. It took about 30 minutes to paddle around the reservoir.

Breakfast at the resort was Chinese-style again: fried mantou, mushroom congee, and tea.

Return to collect belongings, take a walk and take photos, and prepare for the next journey.

Driving back into the city. Ugh, it's hard to get through each kilometer. It's all curves. My guts are about to spill out.

Before reaching the city, we went to the Shwe Taung Be Bridge. Wow, it was incredibly hot! However, the wooden bridge was quite beautiful.

The children are having fun playing in the water.

Upon entering the city, we paid our respects at the sacred Doi Kong Mu Temple, a revered landmark of Mae Hong Son.

Approaching noon, I searched for restaurants on Google and found Bai Fern Restaurant. It was recommended, and the food was truly delicious. The restaurant offers delicious local cuisine at affordable prices.

Pin the map to the next destination. Dad wants to go to the Kayan Long Neck Village, Huay Teng Thao. It's not far from the kilometer marker, just like before. The road is still uphill and winding.

We have arrived at the Long Neck Karen village, a small village in the forest. We believe that the number of people wearing neck rings is decreasing, and children are no longer wearing them.

The journey to Mae La Noi continues, taking approximately 3.5 hours. The route is sparsely populated, with only occasional small communities encountered. The landscape is dominated by forests and mountains.

We have arrived at Hein Tai Resort in Mae La Noi. The resort is adorable, and the atmosphere is perfect. The sun is setting, and we were greeted by the resort's mascot, a dog named Pla Too. He is very cute, but we forgot to take a picture.

We had dinner at the resort, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere and stargazing for a while before retiring for the night, exhausted from the day's journey.

Breakfast is simple, consisting of rice porridge, fried eggs, salad, and bread.

Before we set off, we went to make merit to the monks at Kad Tai. There were monks who came to receive alms. The morning market here doesn't have much to offer. It closes very quickly. The villagers told us that during this season, the villagers have to hurry to harvest their corn.

Continue on to the next destination, Bo Kaeo Pine Forest.
Rows of pine trees create a cool atmosphere, beautiful in a different way.

No delay, let's pin the next location. We're heading to Ob Luang.

This park is truly lush and offers a shaded path that leads to a scenic viewpoint connected by a bridge. However, the viewpoint is currently under repair, so we can only admire it from afar. Nevertheless, seeing it with my own eyes is satisfying enough. We shall continue our journey.

Continuing our journey for approximately one hour, we arrive at Chom Thong District. Here, we will pay our respects at the sacred Chom Thong Chedi.

Today, I had the opportunity to pay respects to the main Buddha statue in the temple, which also houses a museum of antiquities. The collection is truly magnificent, featuring antique gold and ancient Buddha statues. It was a blessing to be able to visit this place.

After deciding where to stay for the night, we booked a room at Casa Marocc by Andacura through booking.com, thanks to a discount link. We opted for a family room that sleeps four people.

The price was 2250 THB, but with the discount link, it came down to around 1150 THB. A great deal!

The atmosphere here is decorated in a style reminiscent of the Taj Mahal or a mosque, with an Arabic influence. Upon checking in, we realized that this is a Muslim neighborhood. In the early morning, there are sounds of prayer.

At night, we wanted to find a place with a good atmosphere, so we went to Good View, which is located on the banks of the Ping River. The atmosphere was great, the air was cool, and the lights were dim.

On the last morning, we had breakfast at ไข่กะทะเลิศรส, which serves breakfast dishes such as fried eggs, Vietnamese pho, and Vietnamese bread. The food was decent, and we had a light breakfast. 555

Today, we had some free time, so we visited Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a sacred landmark of Chiang Mai.

Accompanied by the stunning Wat Umong, although we only captured a glimpse of it in our photos.

We went to buy souvenirs at Kad Ton Payom, a small market with a limited selection of souvenirs.
Before returning the car at the airport, we stopped by our favorite store near Nimmanhaemin, Brown Cafe, to buy some water and snacks. The cafe was very crowded, so we had to wait for a while.

Rushed to the airport because I had to return the car and check in.

It's time for the 4:40 p.m. flight back to the capital. See you again soon!
