Chiang
Mai - Mae Hong Son Loop
The loop via Mae Hong Son takes you on a route through spectacular
mountainous territory occupied by four distinct hill tribes. The provincial
capital of Mae Hong Son is a city dominated by the Shan, making the
province seem like a different country.

Two days (minimum) are required to drive round the loop, with one
night stop over in Mae Hong Son. To have enough time to go on a few
of the recommended side-trips in this booklet will require at least
three overnight stays. Some of the smaller, more local places to stay
on the way may offer less comfort but more adventure. The tour, which
has been divided into four days, is as flexible as you wish to make
it, so choose what you think may interest you and explore for yourself.
The main route is described and suggestions are given for side-trips
and alternative routes.
Accommodation at three levels is listed, but prices vary greatly according
to season. In the high season (December though February), advance
booking is advisable.
