Day 1: Your adventure begins with a morning hotel pickup in Chiang Mai. First stop: Doi Inthanon National Park, the “Roof of Thailand,” where you’ll stand atop the nation’s highest peak and admire the majestic King and Queen Pagodas, surrounded by lush gardens and sweeping mountain views. Next, refresh at the powerful Wachiratarn Waterfall, a favorite photo and picnic spot. After lunch, continue to Mae Hong Son to visit Wat Jong Kham and Wat Jong Klang, two peaceful temples that sit beside a tranquil lake, known for their rich history and unique Shan-style architecture. Enjoy dinner and spend the night at the charming Fern Resort (3-Star Hotel).
Day 2: Start your day with a visit to Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu, offering a bird’s-eye view over Mae Hong Son town wrapped in morning mist. Then, head to Ban Huay Sua Tao Long Neck Karen Village to meet the famous Long Neck Karen people, learn about their unique customs, and capture unforgettable photos. Next, enjoy a scenic drive to Ban Jabo, a Black Lahu hilltop village famous for its noodle shops perched on cliff edges—perfect for enjoying lunch with panoramic valley views. Continue to Tham Lod Cave, where you’ll float through mysterious underground chambers aboard bamboo rafts and marvel at prehistoric paintings and ancient stalactites. As sunset approaches, head to Wat Phra That Mae Yen for breathtaking views over Pai Valley. If guests prefer less walking or are short on time, we’ll offer sunset viewing at the more accessible Two Huts Pai viewpoint. Conclude the day with dinner and free time at Pai Walking Street before checking in at Yoma Hotel (4-Star).
Day 3: After breakfast, enjoy a refreshing visit to Mo Paeng Waterfall, where you can swim or relax by the rock pools surrounded by Pai’s lush greenery. Continue to Santichon Village, home to the Chinese Yunnan community, where traditional architecture and authentic Yunnan dishes await. Savor a flavorful lunch here before heading to Coffee in Love, Pai’s iconic hillside café known for its romantic views (please note: food and drinks are not included, and customers are free to choose another café along the route before reaching Pai Canyon). Afterward, enjoy a short scenic walk at Pai Canyon, famous for its narrow ridges and panoramic landscape views.
