Private Tour to Mae Hong Son

Overview

Step away from crowded tourist trails and discover the real Northern Thailand with the Unseen Mae Hong Son Loop 4 Days tour. This journey focuses on authentic cultural experiences, untouched nature, and hidden scenic spots. Starting in Chiang Mai, you’ll explore everything from crystal caves and sunflower fields to ethnic villages and panoramic viewpoints—places few tourists ever reach.

Day 1: After a morning hotel pick-up in Chiang Mai, begin your eco-adventure with a visit to Doi Inthanon National Park, Thailand’s highest peak. Take time to appreciate the cool air, lush forests, and inspiring views from the King and Queen Pagoda, both built in honor of Thailand’s beloved royalty.

Next, feel nature’s force at Wachiratarn Waterfall, where the spray refreshes and the roar of falling water energizes your spirit. Lunch features authentic northern Thai flavors at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, walk the trails of Obluang National Park, known as the “Land of Prehistoric Humans.” Marvel at natural rock formations and explore a scenic canyon shaped over millennia.

By sunset, arrive at Maesariang, a quiet riverside town far removed from the crowds. Check in at River House Resort and enjoy a relaxed dinner with river views.

Day 2: Start your day with breakfast before heading to the stunning Kaew Komol Cave, a true geological wonder with glistening white calcite crystals resembling snow or ice.

If visiting between late November and mid-December, get ready for a breathtaking sight: the vibrant Mexican Sunflower Fields at Doi Mae U-Khor, covering the hillsides in golden blooms.

After lunch, dive into cultural discovery at Ban Huay Pu Keng, home to the Karen Long Neck tribe. Take time to engage with the community, learn about their crafts, and understand their way of life in this forested village along the Pai River.

Later, unwind at Wat Jong Kham and Wat Jong Klang, two lakeside temples offering calm reflection spaces with shimmering sunset views. Spend the night surrounded by nature at Fern Resort, where sustainability and comfort go hand in hand.

Day 3: Begin the day with panoramic views from Phra That Doi Kong Mu Temple, offering sweeping sights over valleys and mountains blanketed in morning mist.

Next, head to Ban Jabo, a highland Lahu village known for its iconic noodle shop on the cliff’s edge. Enjoy lunch with unbeatable views of layered mountain ranges.

In the afternoon, join local guides for a bamboo rafting journey through Tham Lod Cave. Drift through ancient chambers, spot stalactites, and discover the mysterious teak coffins hidden deep inside the cave.

As sunset approaches, climb up to Phra That Mae Yen Temple for stunning views over Pai. If climbing is difficult or time is limited, we’ll visit Two Huts Pai instead—a more accessible sunset point with equally great views.

Wrap up the day at Pai Walking Street, filled with local food stalls, handmade crafts, and live music. Overnight at Yoma Hotel, a 4-star eco-conscious hotel.

Day 4: Start with sunrise at Yun Lai Viewpoint, where morning mist drifts lazily over the Pai valley below. Afterward, immerse yourself in Chinese Yunnanese culture at Santichon Village, tasting local teas and admiring traditional architecture.

Next, cool off with a swim at Mor Pang Waterfall, a jungle oasis perfect for relaxation. Following lunch, enjoy a light trek along the scenic paths of Pai Canyon, with its red earth ridges and panoramic views.

Before returning to Chiang Mai, stop at the Tha Pai Memorial Bridge, a historic WWII site with strong local significance.

Arrive back in Chiang Mai around 7:00 pm, completing your Unseen Mae Hong Son Loop 4 Days adventure.

Go off the beaten path—explore the unseen side of Mae Hong Son today!
