As international borders reopen, many travelers are flocking to popular destinations like Japan and South Korea. However, with crowds swelling at major tourist spots, the experience can feel highly commercialized.
Seeking a less touristy alternative, we decided to spend our 8-day-7-night trip exploring northern Thailand instead. Now that I'm back, I'm excited to share the highlights of our adventure! I hope to inspire your own itinerary to the area through our experiences ๐ฅฐ

- This towering 80-meter waterfall is located in Mae Hong Son province. The roaring waters cascaded magnificently over moss-covered stone surrounded by lush rainforest.
- We were lucky enough to spot a beautiful triple rainbow over the waterfall - it was truly a picturesque sight.
- At 80 meters high, the waterfall was one of the most majestic and grand waterfalls I've seen. Its roar could be heard from a distance.

- Spanning over 500 meters across emerald green rice paddies, this atmospheric bamboo bridge in Mae Hong Son offers picture-perfect views of the agricultural landscape.
- As we strolled leisurely along the gently swaying bridge, the panoramic vistas of fields, farms and misty mountains took our breath away.
- Be sure to sample the local delicacies like tiger peanuts and sesame candies sold at stalls along the bridge - they are simply delicious!

- Perched at an elevation of 1300 meters, the viewpoint offers stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding mountainous terrain blanketed in clouds and mist.
- On clear days, the vista stretches as far as the eye can see with lush valleys and mist-covered peaks fading into billowy clouds.
- Locals told us this is a popular spot for camping under the stars. The atmosphere was so peaceful!

- This is a recreated village that was formerly inhabited by the Kuomintang or Chinese Nationalist forces who fled to northern Thailand in the 1940s.
- Visitors can try various traditional activities like horseback riding, target shooting practice with air rifles, and archery.
- Their selection of local specialty liqueurs made from fruits like lychee are superb - we sampled the fruity lychee wine which was delightfully sweet.
- For some royal fun, the village loans out traditional Thai costumes so you can dress up and pose for photos like in an ancient palace.
- Strategically placed architecture and backdrops around the village make for great photo opportunities. It truly feels like stepping back in time into a regal historical compound.
Stay tuned for the next instalment where I'll fill you in on the remaining sights we visited and things we discovered! โค๏ธ
