After a lovely 1.5-hour drive through the mountains, taking in that amazing Mae Hong Son scenery, you’ll arrive in Muang Pon village. Our friendly local guide will greet you at Wat Muang Pon, which is truly the heart of their community. Then, we’ll take a relaxed village walk. This isn’t just looking at things; it’s about seeing local Shan art and craft being made right before your eyes by the artisans themselves. You’ll get to learn about “Tam Khon,” a special Shan Buddhist symbol, and watch how they create those beautiful bamboo “Goob Tai” hats. Before lunch, the experience gets even more personal: we’ll visit a traditional Tai House where you’ll learn to cook authentic Shan food for your meal. Imagine the smells, the flavors, and the feeling of preparing a meal together! The afternoon continues this genuine connection as you witness traditional Tai-Yai cloth makers and other handicraft groups, seeing their wisdom in action.
