Can Anyone Tell Me About Mae Sot

[joe1912]

Hi,

can anyone tell me a bit about Mae Sot. A friend of mine in UK asked me to get some info as his son has applied for a job there working for a human rights agency. The son doesnt need the info but my friend is interested.

Any info appreciated.. cost of living, local community/expat mix, medical arrangements... how to get there!

thanks

Joe

How to get there: Go to Mae Hong Son, turn left, drive for 200 km. Or go to Tak, turn left if you come from south, turn right if you come from north. Go for 80 km.

Costs of living depends. From 200 bath a day to 5000 bath a day. Rent a small house and eat thai style, 200 bath. Live in good hotel and dine out, paeng maak!

Sorry for the joking, Mae Sot is a very beautiful place. I visited a couple of months ago. I have no idea about expats etc.

But post your question in Chiang Mai Forum because it is closer to that city.

Good luck!
