Pang Ung, Switzerland of Thailand

Pang Ung – Switzerland of Thailand in the Mae Hong Son Valley 🌫
When it comes to places that slow your heart rate and allow you to breathe deeply, Pang Ung is one of them. A mountaintop reservoir surrounded by rows of tall pine trees, the lake's waters are as calm as a mirror, reflecting the morning mist and warm golden sunlight.

A must-see highlight:

Take a bamboo raft and watch the mist float above the water, accompanied by the chirping of birds and the cool breeze.

Watch the sunrise, the first rays of the day filtering through the pine trees and the thin mist.

Set up a tent in the forest and wake up to a view of the lake.

Visit Ban Rak Thai, a Yunnanese Chinese village, and enjoy a cup of warm tea. Continue your Pang Ung trip.

Getting there:

From Mae Hong Son city, it takes approximately 1.5 hours.

The winding mountain road is lined with beautiful views all the way.

Travel tips for a great trip:

Visit between November and February to experience thick fog and cool weather.

Bring warm clothing, as morning temperatures can drop below 10°C.

Book accommodations or camping in advance, especially during peak season.

Waking up in the morning amidst a light mist with the sound of water hitting the bamboo raft... Pang Ung is happiness without rushing. 🍃✨ #PangUng #MaeHongSon #TravelThailand
