Are you ready to step outside your comfort zone and truly engage? You’ll witness the deep influence of Myanmar on local arts and crafts, from intricate designs to timeless architecture. This 2 Days in Ban Muang Pon dares you to learn, to participate, and to embrace a way of life completely different from your own. It’s an opportunity to push your boundaries, learn new skills, and connect with the resilience and spirit of the Tai-Yai people. Prepare for an adventure that will not only show you a new place but also help you discover a new side of yourself.

Day 1: Your adventure begins with an exhilarating 1.5-hour drive from Mae Hong Son, winding through challenging mountain roads. Upon arrival, you’ll meet our local guide at Wat Muang Pon, a significant community landmark. Then, take on the village walk, a sensory exploration of local Shan art and craft. Your challenge: learn to make “Tam Khon,” a symbolic Shan Buddhist item, and try your hand at weaving a “Goob Tai” bamboo hat – it’s harder than it looks! Just before lunch, prepare for a culinary challenge at a traditional Tai House, where you’ll learn to cook and then savor authentic Shan food. The afternoon pushes you further into local wisdom, engaging with groups of traditional Tai-Yai cloth makers and handicraft artisans. Late afternoon, return to your homestay, where dinner will be served: a chance to sample traditional Tai-Yai dishes and engage in conversation with your host family, capping off an adventurous start to your Ban Muang Pon 2-Day Tour.

Day 2: Wake early—because the local morning market is buzzing with life! Pick up goods for a monk offering and soak in the atmosphere. After breakfast, continue connecting with the artisans of the village. Listen, learn, and witness cultural wisdom passed down through generations. Lunch is provided at your homestay, fueling you for the final leg of your journey. In the late afternoon, bid farewell to your local guide and host family, completing your incredible Ban Muang Pon 2-day tour and returning to Mae Hong Son, richer for the challenge.
