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

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.

Doi Pha Hee, a small village of the Akha hill tribe, is located between Doi Tung and Doi Chang Moob, Chiang Rai Province. Its highlight is its beautiful scenery, especially during the rainy and winter seasons. The villagers used to grow opium, but later the government promoted coffee planting instead. It has now become one of the largest coffee plantations in Thailand. There are many coffee shops to choose from to enjoy a cup of coffee while enjoying the natural scenery. Highlights not to be missed include Lan Saowakot, Pratu Phi, and the Pha Hee Bamboo Bridge. There are also other interesting check-in points, such as the sacred well, the tribal chief's house, the shaman's house, the herbal house, and the spirit medium's house. There are also homestay accommodations and tent sites available. #Chiang Rai travel #trip #tripmoments #100 ways to travel #Chiang Rai #Ban Pha Hee #Doi Pha Hee

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
