(3 Days 2 Night Private Tour)

Tour Overview

Every journey has a story, and yours begins with our Unseen Pai Pang Ung 3 Day Escape, a trailblazing adventure through Northern Thailand’s untouched beauty. From Chiang Mai, this tour threads together hidden villages, scenic forests, and memorable Attractions in Mae Hong Son, making it ideal for explorers seeking something more authentic than standard tourist routes.

Day 1:  As the sun rises over Chiang Mai, your guide greets you for an early hotel pickup. The drive to Huay Nam Dang National Park feels like entering another world—where mist hangs over pine trees and sweeping views stretch beyond mountain ranges. A breath of crisp air and panoramic photo stops set the tone for the adventure ahead.

Next, step onto the historic Pai Memorial Bridge, a World War II relic, and feel the echo of history under your feet. After lunch in Pai Town, wander through Santichon Village, a living museum of Yunnanese culture. Traditional clay houses, colorful Chinese-style gates, and tea-tasting corners welcome visitors into this unique slice of history.

Later, ease into relaxation at Tha Pai Hot Spring, soaking in natural mineral pools under a canopy of trees. If visiting during the summer or rainy season, swap hot springs for a splash in Mo Paeng Waterfall, where gentle streams tumble over natural rock pools.

Before sunset, climb the steps to Wat Phra That Mae Yen. From here, the whole Pai valley sprawls before you—glowing gold as the sun dips behind the hills. For guests preferring less strenuous climbs, Two Huts Pai offers a gentler, but still scenic, viewpoint. End your day savoring street food flavors at Pai Walking Street and settle in for the night at the comfortable Yoma Hotel.

Day 2:  After breakfast, the day’s story continues with a drive into the heart of Mae Hong Son Loop Tour territory—Pang Mapha. The first stop: Tham Lod Cave. Hop on a bamboo raft and float through its dark tunnels, lit only by lanterns. As you glide beneath towering stalactites and pass ancient wooden coffins, the air feels cool and the adventure unforgettable.

Lunch is served nearby before heading to Su Tong Pae Bridge, a handcrafted bamboo bridge connecting communities across lush green rice fields. Its simple beauty and the peaceful sound of the breeze make it a photographer’s favorite.

Next, journey to Pang Ung, often dubbed the “Switzerland of Thailand”. Pine trees line a glassy lake where swans drift lazily and the air carries the scent of mountain dew. Walk along the lakeside, explore the Royal Project area, or just sit and watch the world slow down. Spend a serene night in a local homestay, feeling worlds away from the busy city.

Day 3:  Wake up early for a magical bamboo raft ride on Pang Ung Reservoir, where morning mist dances on the water’s surface. After breakfast, visit Phu Klon Country Club, famous for its mineral-rich black mud—perfect for a rejuvenating spa stop.

Then continue to Ban Jabo, a Black Muser village perched on a cliffside ridge. Order a steaming bowl of noodle soup and enjoy the unbeatable panoramic view stretching out for miles.

Before heading back to Chiang Mai, stop at Pai Canyon, a dramatic and rugged landscape with narrow ridges and deep gorges—a fitting final adventure before returning to city life around 7 PM.
