The
loop via Mae Hong Son takes you on a route through
spectacular mountainous territory occupied by
four distinct hill tribes. The provincial capital
of Mae Hong Son is a city dominated by the Shan,
making the province seem like a different country.
Two days (minimum) are required to drive round the loop,
with one night stop over in Mae Hong Son. Accommodation
is also listed for staying overnight in Chiang
Mai and Mae Hong Son but prices vary greatly according
to season. In the high season (December though
February), advance booking is advisable.
To
have enough time to go on a few of the recommended
side-trips will require at least three overnight
stays. Some of the smaller, more local places
to stay on the way may offer less comfort but
more adventure. The tour, which has been divided
into four days, is as flexible as you wish to
make it, so choose what you think may interest
you and explore for yourself. The main route is
described and suggestions are given for side-trips
and alternative routes.
