2025 Pang Mapha Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

Pai, Thailand is a hidden gem that offers breathtaking natural beauty and unique cultural experiences. One of the must-visit attractions in Pai is Tham Lod, a fascinating cave system that will leave you in awe. As you explore the caverns, stalactites, and stalagmites, you'll feel like an adventurer unraveling the secrets of the underground world. Another highlight of Pai is Mok Fa Waterfall, a tranquil oasis nestled amidst lush greenery. The cascading waters and picturesque surroundings create a serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. To get around Pai, renting a scooter is highly recommended. The winding roads and scenic landscapes make for an exhilarating ride. If you're not comfortable with riding a scooter, you can hire a tuk-tuk or songthaew (shared taxi) to explore the area. For transportation to Tham Lod, it's best to hire a local guide who can provide insights about the cave and ensure your safety. Similarly, for Mok Fa Waterfall, you can hire a driver or join a tour that includes transportation to and from the waterfall. Pai's natural wonders and the warm hospitality of its people make it a destination that should not be missed. #urbanexplorer #wecreate #thailand #mytripvlog #awesomepic #passionpassport #pai #waterfall #awesomepic #summervacation #bangkok #asiatrip

#WinterTravel #ChineseNewYear2023 #tripmission A winter challenge trip, traveling to Mae Hong Son Province, heading to Ban Ja Bo. We chose to stay in a tent with Ban Ja Tho Tent Design, located on the left, the first house at the entrance to the village. We got a view of the sea of ​​fog in the morning, overlooking Ban Ja Bo. Across from it is a famous hanging leg noodle shop, where we ate in the morning. We enjoyed the view of the fog and the cool air. I recommend fellow travelers to try sleeping in a tent, experiencing the cool air, and watching the morning fog at Ban Ja Bo.

When you are hiking in the mountains of Ban Jabo, do remember to stop by in one of the cafes. But of course there are 2/3 coffee houses here, and the recommendation is to head to the Guaytiew Chom Cafe or also called the Noodle Soup House Ban Jabo. You won't miss this as it is the Cafe with the more crowded people enjoying a good cup of coffee and a hot bowl of soup while hanging their feet over their seat and enjoying the view of the sunrise and also the unblock view of the mountains here. You don't need to worry about price here, as its relatively cheap, less than $2 for a bowl of soup and plus with the amazing, what more can you ask for! #celebratewithtrip #banjabo #maehongson #thailand #mountains #view #hiking #outdoor

Another landmark of Ban Ja Bo is the Dek Doi Coffee Shop. The owner's name is Phi Chon. He's very kind, a million Kais, 555555. He's super friendly. The coffee tastes extraordinary. At that time, I hadn't even gotten into the coffee industry yet, so I drank tea. I liked it. It was very delicious. And most importantly, the price was in the hundreds, but the view was in the millions. The atmosphere offered a view of the mountains and the sea of ​​fog. After eating savory food, you need something sweet to cleanse your palate. You have to stop by this shop. #VisitMaeHongSon #VisitBanJaBo #DekDoiCoffee

🍜Today, we have a budget-friendly noodle shop with a million-dollar view to recommend. The shop is called 'Noodle Shop at Ban Ja Bo.' This place is considered a landmark of Ban Ja Bo.

We traveled by motorbike, driving through the valleys on the Chiang Mai-Samoeng route. It wasn't easy, but it was fun and challenging. Our destination was to stay for 2 nights in Pai. But that wasn't the end of our challenge. The next station was Ban Ja Bo, surrounded by valleys and beautiful views, delicious local food, and finally we conquered it. 💞Reason for recommendation: I hope this trip will be another inspiration for you on your next trip.

This trip is a trip that we travel to Pai, Mae Hong Son Province. 🗓️Travel planning: We took a van from Pai to Ja Bo, stopping along the way in Pang Mapha District and had the accommodation pick us up and take us into the village. 💞Reason for recommendation: Ja Bo is a small town that you shouldn't miss. There is a sea of ​​fog to see and the most famous thing is hanging noodle soup. We slept in a tent for one night to climb to the top of the mountain and see the sea of ​​fog and the sunrise. It was a really great moment. The way to climb the mountain is not very difficult. You should prepare your climbing shoes. For accommodation, you can find a homestay. We slept at Ja Tho Homestay. The service was very good. 📍Address: Ban Ja Bo, Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son Province #VisitMaeHongSon #BanJaBo #BanJaBoHangingNoodleSoup #HikingTrip

Tham Nam Lod is located in Tham Lod Subdistrict, 77 kilometers from Mae Hong Son city. It is an important archaeological site under the care of the Pai River Wildlife Sanctuary. The main attraction is 'Tham Nam Lod,' a cave with a stream running through it. Inside the cave, there are beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Since it is not possible to walk inside, visitors must take a raft to see the interior beauty. The cave is approximately 1 kilometer long and consists of three large chambers: 'Tham Sao Hin Luang,' a spacious cave with prominent stalactites and stalagmites, the most notable being a large limestone pillar formed by the merging of several stalactites and stalagmites, some as high as 20 meters. 'Tham Tukata' features small, doll-like stalactites. The last chamber near the exit is 'Tham Phi Man.' The cave is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Due to the darkness inside, visitors cannot explore on their own and must hire a guide with a lantern for a fee of 150 baht. The Tham Nam Lod Nature and Wildlife Study Center offers accommodations and facilities. There are guesthouses available, and camping is allowed in designated areas.

Jabo Village, Mae Hong Son 🏕️⛺ A beautiful destination that travelers must pin as a must-see. Because of the atmosphere of this village, it is surrounded by lush green trees. Houses are lined up on both sides of the mountain range. There is a beautiful landscape of large mountains surrounding it. Because of the height of the village, which is over 900 meters high. 🗿🛖 This place is home to a community of ethnic Lahu or Moo Ser people who moved in under the leadership of Mr. Jabo Phrainetitham. This village is therefore called the Jabo community. 🍜🏔️ Another important landmark that everyone who comes here must stop by is Jabo Noodle Shop. This place is considered a memorable image and the starting point for tourists to get to know this village. Because before this, Jabo Village was a small village that no one knew about. It was just a village that tourists passed through. And this noodle shop is just a bamboo shack noodle shop that sells to ordinary people. But with the location of the noodle shop, it is not ordinary. 🏜️🌅 Because the view in front of us is a beautiful picture of mountains that are lined up and descending beautifully. Especially in the morning, we will see the sea of ​​fog floating all over the area. Of course, this beautiful picture helps to make the ordinary noodle even more delicious. .#VisitMaeHongSon #BanChaBo

The nature trail takes a while to reach. Be cautious of slippery paths if it rains. When you arrive at the cave, it looks like a large hollow where water flows through from one side to the other. Upon reaching the main entrance of the cave, there is some water but not much. At the cave entrance, there are large fish that you can feed. ☺️

Saw this on google maps and decided to detour to try due to the awesome ratings and reviews. I must say I actually love the food and the view it has while we enjoy our noodles. Noodles are very simple with 4 different noodle varieties to choose from. Served mainly with meatballs, sliced pork and minced pork. Can purchase pork cackling and fried wanton skin to add crunchiness to the bowl of noodles. Wait for your number to called out while waiting and finding your own place to sit at. There are limited seats where you can dangle your legs out while enjoying the view. During lunch, most of the popular seats under shelter are taken up fast. Those in the sun are practically left empty unless you are a brave soul whom loves the heat while having your lunch. It is definitely a wholesome experience and 1 highlight of my road trip at I will remember. If I were to pass by here in future, will definitely drop by.#วัดท่าวังหิน #maehonson #thingstodo
