; 64 Moo 10, Tambon Pha Bong; bungalows incl
breakfast 2500-3500B; )
This long-standing eco-friendly resort is one of
the more pleasant places to stay in northern Thailand. The 40 Shan-style wooden
bungalows are set among tiered rice paddies and streams and feature stylishly dec-
orated interiors. Nearby nature trails lead to the adjacent Mae Surin National Park,
and to encourage community-based tourism, most of the employees come from loc-
al villages. The downside is that the resort is 7km south of town, but free pick-up is
available from the airport and bus terminal, and regular shuttles run to/from town
stopping at the Fern Restaurant.

SANG TONG HUTS $$

;
Th Makhasanti; bungalows 800-3000B;
)
This popular set of bungalows in a wooded area just outside of town is
one of the more character-filled places to stay. There's a huge variety of bungalows,
all of them spacious and well designed. It's popular among repeat visitors to Mae
Hong Son, so it pays to book ahead. Sang Tong Huts is about 1km northeast of Th
Khunlum Praphat, just off Th Makhasanti - if going towards Pai, turn left at the
town's northernmost stoplight and follow the signs.
