Mae Hong Son, the city of three mists that you'd think you were in a sauna
Mae Hong Son: The City of Three Mists, So Much Fog You'd Think You're in a Sauna
If you've never been to Mae Hong Son, be warned... you might fall in love with the mist before you fall in love with the people! This city is blanketed in mist every morning, like a permanent natural filter. 🌫️
Mae Hong Son: The City of Three Mists, So Much Fog You'd Think It's the Province's Clouds
Three-season mist—rain, cold, hot. The fog never stops! The mounds of mist reach the sky—so high they're thought to be heavenly antennas.
Lush forests—so refreshing that mosquitoes don't even dare to bite. The kind people—smiling and generous. Free sticky rice is distributed (sometimes).
Beautiful traditions—merit-making ceremonies, ordinations, and golden sunflower festivals—all kinds. Famous for its golden sunflowers—so golden that even GPS can't help but fall in love.
If you get lost here, you haven't really arrived! Getting lost is part of the Mae Hong Son experience. 😆
Start your trip by conquering 1,864 curves, which feel like a roller coaster ride, but without the screams—because everyone gets carsick.
😵💫 But if you survive, You'll receive a certificate of bravery from nature (and from the van driver).
🐷 Ban Rak Thai, a Yunnanese Chinese village nestled in the valley, boasts postcard-perfect views and delicious steamed buns (pork shank) so delicious you'll forget you're dieting.
🍜 A Chinese boat cruise through the mist is an activity that feels like you've stepped into a Chinese martial arts movie, except no one can fly. You can only row slowly and gracefully.
Pang Ung is equally romantic—
A lake in a pine forest, with mist floating like whipped cream on iced coffee.
☕ If you go early in the morning, you'll get photos so beautiful your Instagram friends will ask you what app you're using (the answer is "Mae Hong Son").
Ban Cha Bo is a must-see spot for noodles with the mist—because they serve the view with the noodles! 🍜⛰️
