Things to do in Doi Mae Salong

The Doi Tung & Mae Salong trip, chosen at the last minute, was truly wonderful. I'm grateful to our guide for the comfortable driving through the pouring rain and for showing us around. While the elegant Thai Royal Residence was lovely, the most memorable place was the Pha Hi village. Although we couldn't see every aspect of the Akha people's lives, it was a time for reflection, looking down peacefully at the hill tribe village and contemplating diverse ways of life. The scenic views and coffee at Forest Cafe were also delicious. It was fascinating to see such an easily crossed border while passing through the Thailand-Myanmar border region. The Thai border dog was black, and the Myanmar border dog was yellow!
