Every great journey starts with a story—and your story begins with the 4 Days Exploring Mae Chaem – Mae Hong Son tour. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a moving tale of landscapes, people, and places that stay with you long after the adventure ends.

Day 1: Chiang Mai to Mae Chaem – From City Streets to Mountain Peaks

Your story begins in Chiang Mai, where you’re picked up from your hotel and whisked away towards the clouds at Doi Inthanon National Park. As your vehicle climbs, the air turns crisp, and the view opens up to sweeping valleys and distant mountains. Visit the roaring Wachiratarn Waterfall, feel the mist on your face, and wander through the lively Hmong Market, where local farmers sell fresh produce and handmade crafts.

Stand before the elegant King and Queen Pagodas, set against the dramatic sky at 2,565 meters above sea level. After a satisfying lunch, continue through winding mountain roads to the peaceful town of Mae Chaem. As the sun sets over the rice fields, settle into your resort and enjoy a warm local dinner.

Day 2: Mae Chaem to Mae Hong Son – Traditions in Every Thread

Wake up to mountain air and the sound of village life. Visit the Handicraft Village in Mae Chaem, where local weavers sit at wooden looms, creating intricate patterns that tell their own stories. Next, visit Wat Yang Luang, a hilltop temple that offers both spiritual peace and fantastic valley views. The adventure continues as you hop aboard a 4WD vehicle for the climb to Ban Pa Bong Piang, home to the famous stepped rice terraces. Depending on the season, you’ll witness endless waves of green or gold fields—perfect for photos and peaceful walks.

After lunch, travel towards Mae Hong Son, a charming town influenced by Thai, Shan, and Burmese cultures. Enjoy an evening walk around Chong Kham Lake, visit Wat Chong Klang and Wat Chong Kham, and enjoy a delicious dinner before checking in at your hotel.

Day 3: Mae Hong Son to Pai – Rivers, Caves, and Sunset Colors

Start with a panoramic sunrise at Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu, with sweeping views of mist-covered valleys below. Next, board a longtail boat for a scenic cruise along the Pai River to reach Huay Pu Keng, home to the Long Neck Karen tribe. Chat with locals, observe traditional weaving, and gain insights into this unique community.

After lunch, explore the majestic Tham Lod Cave by bamboo raft, gliding through limestone chambers dotted with ancient teakwood coffins and towering rock formations.

As sunset approaches, visit Phra That Mae Yen Temple, a peaceful hillside spot offering panoramic views over Pai town and the surrounding valley. For those who prefer a gentler climb, an alternative sunset viewpoint at Two Huts Pai ensures everyone enjoys the magic hour. Evening arrives with the energy of Pai Walking Street, where food stalls, live music, and handmade crafts fill the night with color.

Day 4: Pai to Chiang Mai – Tea Gardens, Waterfalls, and Canyon Walks

Start your morning at Santichon Chinese Village, tasting Yunnan tea and exploring mud-brick houses. Then, head to Yun Lai Viewpoint, where mist drifts across valleys bathed in soft morning light.

Afterward, cool off at Mor Pang Waterfall, a local favorite for a quick swim or photo break.

Enjoy a tasty lunch, then gear up for a short hike at Pai Canyon, with its dramatic narrow ridges and sweeping views—a thrilling way to wrap up your adventure.

Before returning to Chiang Mai, stop at the World War II Memorial Bridge, a historical site perfect for final photos. Arrive back in the city by early evening with a heart full of stories and a camera full of memories.
