We hit the road after breakfast, heading towards Mae La Noi, a small traditional village nestled in the mountains of northern Thailand.

Here, the majority of the residents belong to the Shan, Lawa, or Karen ethnic groups.

A tranquil village off the tourist circuit, Mae La Noi provides an opportunity to peacefully interact with the local population.

Continuing on to the green town of Mae Sariang, near the Burmese border.

Green rice paddies, rushing rivers, a Karen tribe village, and herds of elephants freely roaming Salawin Park… Mae Sariang is a hiker's paradise.

The town itself is a rice-growing basin with thatched-roof houses scattered among flooded rice fields. The surrounding area is rugged, dotted with turbulent watercourses.

As a gateway to Salawin National Park with its dense forests, Mae Sariang is the perfect stop for any eco-tourism adventure.

This morning, we're off to explore the surroundings, including Doi Phu Co, which offers a panoramic view of the Sop Moei mountain range. To reach the summit (1046 meters), we take a trail that requires about 45 minutes of walking. The ascent is quite steep but rewarding.

We then continue to explore the surroundings of Salawin National Park. First, we head to the banks of the Salawin River, which serves as a natural border between Myanmar and Thailand. Originating in the Himalayan mountains, the Salawin River flows for 2800 kilometers, passing through Tibet, China, Myanmar, and Thailand.

We board a small boat and travel up the river towards the village of Mae Sam Liam (approximately 45 minutes), where we meet the Karen people.

In the late afternoon, return to the hotel.
