Introduction
Nestled
in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges,
Mae Hong Son has long been isolated
from the outside world. Virtually covered with
mist throughout the year, the name refers to the
fact that is terrain is highly suitable for the
training of elephants.Former governors of Chiang
Mai used to organize the rounding up of wild elephants
which were then trained before being sent to the
capital for work. Today, Mae Hong Son is one of
the “dream destination” for visitors
who are attracted by its cultural and natural
wonders.
