Mae Hon Soon Loop: Day 4 - kohadventures.com

Day 4: MHS -> Ban Rak Thai -> Soppong

Breakfast at resort

they forgot to remove the rock before building the restaurant.. no wait, its a eco resort, even the rock must not be harmed!!

see? left side of the hut there’s also a natural rock jutting out of the pavement. (No rocks are harmed in the construction of this resort)

ok remembered its Fern Resort

Cannot cut the trees, any path for hotel guests must be built around it. lol

OK first stop, go MHS town to get “Certified”

Similar to any well-established educational institute, you have to pay tuition fees and voila, I got the certification from MHS Governor!

Before leaving town, go to a Wat (can see the airport runway).
Wat Phrathat Doi Kongmu

Its near the border, highlight of this village is the lake (like mirror).
Understand its inhabitants are chinese, (remants of Kuo Ming Tang when they fled China and settled down here)

The buildings in this town is “Chinese” (Yun Nan style)

We had lunch here (ordered too much)

See the clouds reflected ?

We soldiered ahead…

Along the route we stopped somewhere (showing the various ‘nature reserves/parks’ etc

Cant rem where this is taken

Reached Soppong! Little Eden guesthouse (its by river!)

Theres a mini bridge to cross the river (freaking narrow). Chris dont dare to do it haha

So i go and ask her to take this pic for me

had our dinner in the resort as the town is small and called it a day

Good place to stay for the night
