Unforgettable Routes Around Chiang Mai Where You Can Go With a Rented Motorcycle

Admire the Panorama at Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu

The first site of our tour in the eighth largest province (out of 76 provinces) in Thailand is the Phra That Doi Kong Mu temple. Inside the temple, which was built in 1860, there are two temples and two monasteries. I like one of the eight-story whitewashed temples in which a Buddha image is enshrined with a golden minaret on top.

Standing on the serene hills of Doi Kong Mu, this Burmese-style temple can be seen from most places in Mae Hong Son Loop town. Vice versa, from the top of the hill Doi Kong Mu, I can see a 360-degree view of Mae Hong Son, Chong Kham lake, Pai valley and the city of a neighbouring country, Burma, Myanmar.

 Level the Neck at Karen Tribe Village

The majority (60 percent) of the population in Mae Hong Son Province consists of tribes who live in the hills or are called the Hill Tribe. Including the Hmong, Yao, Lahu, Lisu, Akha, Shan and Karen tribes. In the afternoon, we visited the village of the Karen Tribe which is famous for its long-necked group of women. Karen women are identified by the pile of large brass rings they have worn around their necks since childhood.

Here we had time to wear the big rings around the neck provided by the Karen women. The weight as if wearing an iron chain necklace made it difficult for me to move my neck left and right, let alone look down. We both look proud with our chins raised like models when crossing the catwalk.

Crossing the Su Tong Pae Bamboo Bridge

At the third site, we walked over a 500-meter long bamboo bridge surrounded by rice fields in the village of Ban Kung Mai Sak. The construction of this Su Tong Pae bamboo bridge is very simple but beautiful with green rice fields around it.

The rice field owners donated their land and built the bridge with the villagers as a daily walk. The bridge used by the villagers connects the Mae Sa Nga River with the temple at one end. The name of the Su Tong Pae Bridge is translated by the monks as “success prayer” which is a source of pride for the local community.

Rack Thai Village

Rak Thai Village. ‘Rak Thai’ which means ‘Love Thailand’, and, I fell in love with this village. The village, founded by former soldiers from Yunnan, China in 1949, is very charming. The lake with super calm water like glass reflects the reflection of the hilly valley which is so beautiful.

Special Trip Visiting Pai & Doi Ang Khang
