Mae Hong Son, North, Thailand
Thailand's second northernmost provincial city, is sheltered by several high mountains and enjoys a cool climate almost all year round. In the past, the town was isolated from the outside world for lack of good transportation and communications. All that is changed now of course, as Thai Airways has frequent flights into Mae Hong Son. A word of caution though. It has been reported in the local press that the national airline is considering discontinuing these flights. This will leave a local carrier to take up the slack.
Mae Hong Son is administratively divided into 6 Amphoes (counties) and 1 King Amphoe. The province covers an area of 12,681 square kilometres. Mae Hong Son can be reached from Chiang Mai either by Highway No. 108 via Mae Sa Riang, for the distance of 349 kilometres. or Highway No. 1095 via Pai which shortens the distance to some 274 kilometres. As the province is bordered by Myanmar to the North and West, a strong Burmese influence can be seen in the provincial capital's temples and buildings.
