If anyone is looking for a place to chill in Mae Hong Son, "Ban Ja Bo" is another place you shouldn't miss. Today, we will stay overnight at a homestay to fully enjoy the atmosphere. There are many types of homestays here. There were 4 of us, so we chose "Ban Rattana Homestay" for 1,800 baht with dinner (local food). I must say that homestay accommodation is not as luxurious as a hotel. It's a mattress, mosquito net, and a fan for use in the evening. The bathroom is a dipper. But what makes it special is that it's peaceful and natural. At night, you can see stars all over the sky. The air is cool. In the morning, you'll wake up to a sea of ​​fog greeting you in front of your house. There's a noodle shop nearby where you can dangle your legs. If you visit Ban Ja Bo, you have to come and eat here. I'm telling you, it's worth it.

This cave is the widest and longest cave in Tham Lod. On one side of the cave wall, there are prehistoric paintings. The last cave at the exit is Tham Phi Man, which in addition to having beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, has also been found. There are also fragments of pottery, seeds, stone tools, human teeth and bones, as well as a Phi Man coffin. This coffin is made of a log that has been hollowed out in the middle to create a groove similar to a boat or a wooden trough. It is used to put food for pets. There are both small and large coffins. The large coffins are placed on beams with 4-6 posts set on the floor of the cave. Each pair of posts has a hole drilled to insert a beam to place the coffin across.

Similarly, for Mok Fa Waterfall, you can hire a driver or join a tour that includes transportation to and from the waterfall.

Tham Nam Lod is an important archaeological site and one of the Unseen Thailand. It is under the care of the Pai River Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a cave with water flowing through the middle. Tourists cannot visit it by themselves because the cave is very dark. You must use a guide to take tourists to walk around the entire cave. Although it is open for tourism all year round, during the rainy season, only Cave 1 is open for visits. Caves 2 and 3 are closed due to high water levels. Please ask the staff again for the service fee. The price changes. On the day I went in December 2022, the service fee for 3 caves including rafting was about 500 baht (2 people), but it was worth it. The guide took us on a long walk. I bought two sets of fish food. There were a lot of fish. Each set was 20 baht. Open daily from 08.00-16.00 hrs.

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.

🥶❄️ The cold wind blows like this. In the morning, we have to find something hot to eat. But sitting and eating at a normal restaurant would seem ordinary. Today, we sat and dangled our legs and ate noodles at Baan Ja Bo. It can be said that this noodle shop has a great view and the most amazing view.

#WinterTravel 🌱 It would be great to be an orange farmer for a day. It has to be here. Smile Orange Garden 🍊 An organic, pesticide-free orange garden in Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son Province. 🌳 The orange trees with plump, orange-colored honey oranges Green and alternating all over the trees make us feel so good 😊 Just cross the stream behind the shop and we can go into the garden to pick the oranges ourselves. It's like picking them fresh from the trees. 😋 The garden is on the side of the road between Pai and Pang Ung, before reaching the entrance to Ban Ja Bo. You have to keep an eye on the side of the road. There will be only one orange shop as a symbol. If you see an orange shop, just park. 🔅 But I have to say that the light will be very beautiful when the sun is down and the wind has died down. 🔆 When taking pictures 📷 Dress up nicely, prepare props, and prepare a picnic basket to take pictures with the orange trees lined up in green. Orange, beautiful colors, cut and taste, so awesome... If you don't have much time, cut from the tree yourself, the garden also has boxes for sale in front of the garden. The price depends on the size. 🍊 If you pass by there and want to eat fresh oranges that are 100% free of pesticides, invite you to cut oranges at Uncle's garden. 🌲 #SmileOrangeGarden #OrganicOrangeGarden #HoneyOrangeGarden #TravelReview #MaeHongSonTravel #PangMaPhaTravel #Pai #MaeHongSon #envyjourney #TravelToMakePeopleEnvious

Ban Ja Bo, Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son Province We stayed at a homestay with a beautiful view next to the mountain with fog hitting us until we were cold. The accommodation at that time did not have hot water. We held our breath and took a long shower. We intended to go to the viewpoint, Phu Pha Mok, Ban Ja Bo, to see the sea of ​​fog. No matter where we went, we had to have a local guide to lead the way. We could not go by ourselves because we had to walk and climb. But it was not as difficult as we thought. We woke up early to see the fog and the sunrise. Fog hunters should not miss this again. The panoramic view was really good. We sat and watched the fog and the sunrise on the limestone mountain.

Pai is a small village on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The journey involves 762 curves, but it's worth it once you arrive. I had three bowls of rice noodles at a restaurant famous for its cliffside noodles. I enjoyed a cup of coffee while taking in the picturesque scenery. The charm of Pai lies in exploring its culinary delights. I had chicken rice and Thai-style beef soup at James' place. At night, I enjoyed a mango smoothie on Traveler Street. During the day, I spent time at a vintage-themed cafe and tasted a banh mi sandwich. I found solace at a temple with a panoramic view of Pai. To fully enjoy Pai, it's best to rent a motorbike. There's also the fun of discovering hidden hotspots. Tips * Motorbike rental is a must: You can freely explore Pai's town and nature. * Highly recommend mango smoothie: Be sure to try it on Traveler Street. * Visit the cliff noodles during the day: You can enjoy a meal with a stunning view. * Banh mi sandwich: Enjoy it at a local recommended eatery.
