Advantages: great base for serious trekking Disadvantages: not much else to do
...nature-oriented, happy town of Pai, Mae Hong Son was a real shock. We thought that a town on the Myanmar border would be even more wild and remote, but this turned out to be a wrong assumption. It seems that close proximity to the opium barons is lucrative.
Mae Hong Son is full of stores carrying modern supplies and restaurants serving farang (foreign) food. There is a steady stream of moped traffic and even the occasional 4x4, so keep that in mind ... ...3 flights a day, so you are almost guaranteed a ticket on the day you wish to travel. We bought ours on the same day we flew and we still had a choice of flight.
If you are not into hardcore trekking, give Mae Hong Son a miss. ...
