During our trip to Chiang Dao
together, Spence and I decided to do what's called the Mae Hong Son
Loop, a circuit of small towns to the north of Chiang Mai. This is a
very popular trip through some beautiful, mountainous
countryside in the Mae Hong Son province. The loop can be done in either direction and, given the variety of different sights and activities along the way, can occupy a lot of time or, as in our case, can be done in three or four days given time constraints. The first stop was Mae Sariang where we had a hard time
finding accommodations as places were mostly booked up. It was getting
further into high season and this would be a recurring theme. There was a small evening market where there was a lot of lovely produce like these
little piles of soup veggies all portioned out.
and these little guys, ribbit, ribbit. It's definitely not easy being green in Thailand. In fact, I tried one this morning, just a bit of the legs. Wound up with a frog in my throat.
There was an interesting Burmese influenced wat there.
And this wat by the river.
I wasn't hugely engaged by Mae Sariang, maybe it was the poor accommodations but we moved on next day to Mae Hong Son.
