Pond Life Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Could anyone living in or around Mae Hongson tell me if its getting busy this weekend ? Im hoping Pai will get all the tourists & I can sneak a relatively quiet non xmas in MHS. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaleySabai Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Got back yesterday from a 4-day motorbike trip including Mae Hong Song(MHS) and I can tell you that Pai is very quiet for this time of year ( not to mention very cold) and MHS is extra-ordinarily boring beyond belief....if you are looking for a town with unlimited lousy food offerings, over priced rat-hole hotels, no nightlife and snotty people....and no tourist, then you are going to enjoy! ...... I found the Cross Roads bar was the worst pit of despair I have come upon in ages. I will never ride the MHS loop again, better rides in CM province by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pond Life Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks HS, I agree MHS town is a boring place, but theres some nice scenery and villages around it. Pai seemed to be filling up on Fri night, Im guessing many will be staying for xmas. Anyone thats actually in MHS this weekend, Id be grateful for a report !

kjhbigv Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 MHS is boring but I just love the road from there to Pai. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaleySabai Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Sure,much better than the road to Pai from the 107, really needs serious work in many places. The 1263 from Khun Yuam to Mae Chaem is really nice. The hotel we stayed in MHS was empty but the owner said next week they are fully booked.

jackr Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah, strange place, a bit of the land that time forgot. Fern Resort is nice, though overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungabunga Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'll be doing the tourist thing in Pai and CM over the holidays. We booked our places to stay a while ago now but even then were told many were full. Keep an eye out for a fat bloke asking for directions.
