Mae Hong Son 3 Day All Highlights: Explore the Best of the North
This 3-day Mae Hong Son tour highlights breathtaking scenery, cultural encounters, and unforgettable experiences across the loop.
Tour Overview
Step into an adventure that captures the true essence of Northern Thailand with our Mae Hong Son 3 Day All Highlights tour. This unforgettable journey from Chiang Mai follows the famous Mae Hong Son Loop, taking you through winding mountain roads, lush national parks, and charming villages rarely seen by typical tourists. With every stop, you’ll discover natural wonders and experience the region’s diverse ethnic cultures.
Day 1: Your day starts with a warm welcome and hotel pickup in Chiang Mai. The first leg of your adventure leads you to Doi Inthanon National Park, where cool mountain air and Thailand’s highest peak await. Stroll around the beautifully landscaped King and Queen Pagodas with views stretching across valleys and forest-covered hills. Continue to the mighty Wachiratarn Waterfall, perfect for scenic photos.
After a tasty local lunch, head towards Mae Hong Son town for cultural exploration at Wat Jong Kham and Wat Jong Klang, two serene temples sitting by a tranquil lake. End your day at the cozy Fern Resort (3-Star Hotel), surrounded by nature.
Day 2: Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before visiting Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu, offering spectacular views over the valley and Mae Hong Son town. Your cultural immersion continues at the Long Neck Karen Village in Ban Huay Sua Tao, where you’ll meet members of this unique ethnic group and learn about their fascinating lifestyle.
By midday, arrive at Ban Jabo, a hilltop village where you’ll enjoy local noodles while overlooking breathtaking mountain scenery. Next, adventure into Tham Lod Cave aboard a bamboo raft, floating past ancient rock formations and prehistoric cave art.
As the sun begins to set, we’ll head to Wat Phra That Mae Yen for sweeping sunset views over Pai. For guests who prefer an easier alternative or are short on time, we offer sunset viewing at the more accessible Two Huts Pai viewpoint. End the evening at Pai Walking Street, where food stalls, music, and local crafts fill the air with life. Spend the night at Yoma Hotel (4-Star).
Day 3: After breakfast, start your morning with a refreshing visit to Mo Paeng Waterfall. Swim, relax, and soak in the cool waters before heading to Santichon Village, where the Chinese Yunnan community offers a glimpse into their traditions and flavors. Savor an authentic Yunnan-style lunch, then unwind at Coffee in Love, a lovely café perched on a hillside with sweeping views of Pai (please note: food and drinks are not included, and guests can choose alternative cafés along the route before reaching Pai Canyon).
Afterward, enjoy a short scenic walk at Pai Canyon, famous for its narrow ridges and dramatic vistas. Before departing, stop at the Tha Pai Memorial Bridge, a piece of living history from World War II. By evening, you’ll return to Chiang Mai with unforgettable memories from your Mae Hong Son Tour Package.
