Our first place to stay in Mae Hong Son was the Fern Resort. This is an Eco Tourism Resort. In other words, the service may be a little slow, bed sheets are changed every other day and all the goods are bought locally.

Fern Resort - EcoTourism Resort for Nature Lovers
Tel/Fax: 0-5368-6110-1




Beware, this resort does have several dogs roaming about.

After settling in we decided to go visit some of the hilltribes of Nothern Thailand.


We cross the wooden bridge to enter the village.

The children just pretty much ignored us and continued playing.


Most everyone was in their native dress selling arts and trinkets to the tourists. I have to say the village people were very polite!


We bought her CD.

Mostly the women would sell items out of their home.


A view at one of the homes. Pretty basic.


These women would also wear leg braclets.

I noticed that some little girls would have the neck coils and some would not. Could never really figure out why.


Daily village life continues on as we walk around.


I declined the offer to play badminton.

I wasn't the only one that was rather chilly.


Some of the women had tough feet!

Here is one example where the coils are placed on the little girls.


This is how water is brought into their homes.


A bedroom.

Preparing a bite to eat.


The powder on the face is to keep the person cool. I did not have powder on my face.


Looking down the street.


Most of the homes were built on stilts.

Notice the man in the grey shirt to the right of the photo. He was talking to his wife while she was on the phone. She wasn't to happy.


Now I know why. He found the purse.

This group of hilltribe people mainly made their money from tourism.


Weaving is one way a selling goods.


Behind the shops you can see a sidewalk.

A final look at the village.


The sun goes down.


What better way to end the day than to sit around the campfire?

The next day brought yet another trip to a larger hilltribe village. However, we have to go by boat for this adventure.


Head to the boats at B200 per person.


The captain of the ship.

Here you can see some ladies have the neck coils while some do not. Still no answers as to why.


Ladies at work.


Cooking a bite to eat.
