“Dok Bua Thong”
During the cool months of winter, a kind of sunflower, “Dok Bua Thong”, paints the mountains and valleys of Mae Hong Son a vivid gold.

Mae Hong Son, the last outpost on Thailand's northwestern frontier with Burma, was once a place of exile for disgraced officers.

These days, the area attracts a steady stream of visitors who come to view the magnificent scenery and the tribal people that inhabit the hills.
