4 Days Exploring Mae Hong Son Loop: A Journey Through Nature and Culture
Let Northern Thailand’s winding roads, mountain temples, and tribal villages inspire your next great adventure.
Tour Overview
Imagine 4 days where every twist in the road reveals new beauty, where mountain air is crisp, waterfalls roar, and distant villages welcome you with warm smiles. 4 Days Exploring Mae Hong Son Loop is more than just a tour—it’s a moving journey through Northern Thailand’s soul.
Day 1: The day starts with a hotel pick-up in Chiang Mai. As you leave the city, the landscape quickly shifts from urban life to rolling hills and dense forest.
First stop: Doi Inthanon National Park, the highest point in Thailand. Feel the cool mountain breeze and marvel at the sweeping views from the elegant King and Queen Pagoda, where vibrant flower gardens bloom year-round.
Next, visit the dramatic Wachiratarn Waterfall, its roar echoing through the forest as mist refreshes your face. After a flavorful Thai lunch, the journey continues to Obluang National Park, where you’ll walk through a scenic canyon carved by time and river.
As the sun lowers, arrive at the peaceful riverside town of Maesariang. Check-in at River House Resort, enjoy dinner, and unwind by the water.
Day 2: After breakfast, venture to Kaew Komol Cave, a hidden underground wonder. Its crystal-white walls glitter like ice under soft lights—a photographer’s dream.
If you’re lucky enough to travel between late November and mid-December, you’ll witness the rolling hills of Doi Mae U-Khor ablaze with vibrant Mexican Sunflowers—a natural spectacle few get to see.
Lunch brings you authentic Northern Thai flavors before the road takes you to Ban Huay Pu Keng, where the Karen Long Neck tribe lives. Here, you’ll meet local villagers, learn about their lifestyle, and capture meaningful moments through your lens. As the afternoon sun casts golden reflections, visit the twin temples of Wat Jong Kham and Wat Jong Klang, sitting gracefully beside the lake.
Overnight at the forest-surrounded Fern Resort, where nature and relaxation come together.
Day 3: Wake up early and head to Phra That Doi Kong Mu Temple, high above Mae Hong Son town. The morning mist often cloaks the valley below, creating a dreamlike scene.
Continue to Ban Jabo, where locals serve noodle soup at cliffside tables with jaw-dropping views of endless mountains. After lunch, dive into adventure at Tham Lod Cave, where a bamboo raft carries you through dark chambers filled with ancient stalactites and historic wooden coffins.
As sunset approaches, climb to Phra That Mae Yen Temple, offering sweeping views over Pai and the surrounding valleys. If you prefer less walking or time is short, the scenic Two Huts Pai viewpoint offers an easier alternative. Evening brings you to Pai Walking Street, buzzing with food stalls, music, and local art. Stay overnight at the welcoming Yoma Hotel (4-star).
Day 4: Start your day with sunrise views at Yun Lai Viewpoint, where the mist slowly lifts to reveal the Pai Valley below. Next, stroll through Santichon Village, a Yunnanese Chinese settlement with colorful homes, traditional tea houses, and panoramic viewpoints.
Afterward, cool off at Mor Pang Waterfall, a jungle gem where you can swim in natural pools. Lunch is served in Pai, after which you’ll visit Pai Canyon. Walk the narrow red-earth ridges and take in views that stretch for miles. Before the final leg back to Chiang Mai, stop at the historic Tha Pai Memorial Bridge, a relic from World War II.
Arrive back in Chiang Mai around 7:00 pm, with your heart full of memories from 4 Days Exploring Mae Hong Son Loop.
Pack your sense of wonder—this 4-day adventure through Mae Hong Son awaits you!
