Travel agents, journalists visit Mae Hong Son

MAE Hong Son was the venue selected for some travel agents and journalists to experience recently. Located to the north of the country, this province is slowly gaining popularity among foreign tourists and locals. Pai, a district in the province, had also transformed from into a backpackers haven after years of being out of the limelight.

The group's visit started off with a visit to Ta-Pai Bridge, walking street, Tham Rot (blind fish cave), and Pang Ung to see Sakura flowers blooming and tea plantation at Baan Rak Thai Village. In Mae Hong Son, the visit started off with the Phu Klon Mud Spa, Wat Phratat Doi Kong Mu and Wat Nong Chong Kum. After returning to Chiang Mai the group also visited Baan Thawai, Baan Roy An Phan Yan Wooden Museum and Oasis Spa before visiting the Tha Pae night market.

The group later went to Lampang where they visited the Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang, the ceramic factory and weekend walking street. They later rode a horse carriage (unique to Lampang) to Baan Sao Nak. They later went to Sukhothai before returning to Bangkok.
