2025 Mae Sai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Located at the Thai-Myanmar border, Chiang Rai is more serene than Chiang Mai. To experience a leisurely life in the mountains and forests, it's best to stay for three days and two nights. TEVA Valley Resort is a great choice, offering stunning mountain and field views. TEVA Valley Resort is actually located right next to the main road, but it faces the mountains and fields, providing excellent views. The resort is very new with all the necessary facilities, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and outdoor thatched terrace walkways. The outdoor swimming pool is especially chill. Another feature of the resort is the super spacious rooms! The double suite is a whopping 50 square meters, and the most luxurious part is that it has a balcony. The mountain view garden is relaxing and fantastic! A double room with breakfast for one night is less than 2000 THB! Super cheap! It offers better value for money than Chiang Mai.

Wat Tham Pla, Chiang Rai Province 🙏Wat Tham Pla, an ancient temple with a long history since ancient times. There are many caves here, such as Tham Ku Kaew and Tham Plao Phloeng Fa. There is also a beautiful chapel and a pagoda that is unlike any other temple. Inside the temple, there are also mountain monkeys or Ai Nia monkeys living. 🌿Tham Pla is a small stream that flows out from under a limestone mountain, flowing through the mountain in many ways, and flowing out in front of the cave mouth. Inside the cave, there is a Burmese-style Buddha statue built by a Burmese monk. The general public calls it "Phra Song Khruang", which is highly revered by the people in this area. 🌱According to legend, when the Lord Buddha came to teach the people and go on alms round in Yonok Nakhon Chai Buri Si Chang Saen, he walked along the foot of the mountain to a cave (currently Tham Plao Phloeng Fa). It turned out that the villagers brought grilled fish with a stick to put in the monk's alms bowl. The Lord Buddha prayed for the fish to come back to life again. Then he released it into a hole in the cave, creating a stream flowing out of the cliff on the east side. Then the Buddha used a stone to cover the hole where the water was poured and left his hair in the stone for people to worship. 🪨 Flame Chimney Cave is located on the top of the mountain. It looks like a cave that goes into the sky. Sunlight can shine through the cave floor. The mouth of the cave is a shady cliff on both sides. Inside is a large courtyard. On top is a large air vent, allowing light to shine into the cave. It is a beautiful and unusual sight. A small Buddha statue and pagoda were built inside the cave. Inside the pagoda are the relics of the Buddha. 📍 Tambon Pong Ngam, Amphoe Mae Sai, Chiang Rai Province #100TravelWays

Nowadays, many beautiful fish such as catfish, carp, eels, tilapia, silver fish, goldfish, koi, and turtles have been released into the pond.

Doi Pha Hee is well known as a famous coffee growing area in Chiang Rai Province. When I had the chance to visit, I had to try some. Doi Pha Hee is not only famous for its coffee, but also for its scenery. Ban Pha Hee is just as outstanding. It is located on a high mountain surrounded by beautiful and unusually shaped mountains. We chose Phu Pha Hee Cafe, which offers a view of mountains and green forests in front of us. There is a cool sitting area where you can dangle your legs and enjoy the view. You can relax, sip coffee, and fully enjoy the atmosphere. #ChiangRaiTravel #phuphaheecafe #DoiPhaHee #tripfreeaccommodation

Bamboo Bridge Rai Pha Hee or Bamboo Walk Tourists will be excited to walk on the bamboo bridge, which is a long and high walkway (which can be quite scary for walkers. Walking is scary and gives a different kind of feeling). Plus, along the way, we will see colorful umbrellas decorated along the walkway of the bridge. Especially if the weather is good and there is a cool breeze blowing, I must say that you will be able to take amazing photos along the way. You can visit the Bamboo Bridge Rai Pha Hee all year round, but if you want to feel a little more special, I recommend visiting around January-February, which is when the cherry blossoms are blooming in beautiful pink, interspersed among the green trees, alternating colors, looking beautiful. Just looking at it is so amazing that I can't describe it. #MissingNature #BrotherPhakAtmosphere

Rai Somthida 🍊 A new orange farm in Chiang Rai Province Located in Mae Sai (Pha Mi), it is an orange farm on the mountainside with a great view. You can walk around the orange garden for free at the farm, but you are not allowed to pick the oranges!!! If you want to taste the oranges, you can try them at the shop in the garden where you can try them and buy some to take home. The oranges here are very sweet. The highlight is the freshly squeezed orange juice, very refreshing. A glass costs 50 baht, squeezed from 1 kg of oranges. If you go to Chiang Rai, stop by and visit us! #Where to travel #Visit Chiang Rai #Let's go

#Tourist attraction bundle 2 days with 6 places in Chiang Rai Province. I must say that if anyone comes to visit Chiang Rai, I recommend renting a car.

On the first day, we will go to Choui Fong Tea Plantation, then to Doi Tung, then to Doi Khao Moob and Doi Pha Hee. On the second day, we will go to Akha Farm and then to Singha Park. I must say that if you go to Singha Park, it will take quite a while because it has everything. You almost don't have to go anywhere else. #Chiang Rai Province

#Valentine's Day Destination Akha Pamio, a super chic tourist attraction for couples who are looking for a place to date or spend a special moment. Akha Pamio, a cafe in an orange garden, is located in Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province. Open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 📌How to get there The cafe has enough parking space for visitors. When you arrive, you must buy a 90 baht ticket to enter the cafe so that the staff can drive a golf cart up to the cafe. Because it is located on a hill, the coupon ticket can be exchanged for 1 drink in the cafe. If anyone wants to buy cake or other drinks, you can buy more. 📌 The cafe has an orange farm where you can walk around, take pictures and pick oranges to take home. There is a fee for buying oranges. 📌 This place also provides accommodation. It's very beautiful. But there are only 2 houses open for booking and the other 2 are under construction.

#Get a discount without relying on luck Doi Pha Mi on a rainy day 🐻🌧 This is a small village that is just a short distance up. It is only 15 minutes from Mae Sai. Actually, I intended to go up to Pha Hee as well. But the rain was very heavy and there was no sign of stopping. 🚙 So I stopped at Doi Pha Mi Coffee, the first shop originally in the project to promote the tourism route in Chiang Rai Province to revive the economy and tourism by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Chiang Rai Province and TAT Chiang Rai. You can park your car in the village and walk a little bit. Min ordered both coffee and Akha food. In the set, there are menus that I have never seen before. 🥗 Rak Chu (Kushi) I like this the most. It is like a dry, salty, crunchy salad. Akha vegetable salad (Hor Pa Cho) is a salad that is not spicy, not sour, and has a well-rounded flavor. Akha chili paste with a delicious flavor, nuts, and sticky rice. Very enjoyable to eat. Anyone who travels to Chiang Rai, Mae Sai, please stop by. It is beautiful. The view is beautiful, the fog is thick, and the clouds are floating in front. Cool weather, delicious food #Chiangrai #mustvisitcafe #cafe #trip
