Ban Kung Mai Sak Rice Bridge: A Tranquil Escape in Mae Hong Son

Getting There

• Walking

  Start your journey at the Mae Hong Son Walking Street, located in the center of Mae Hong Son. From there, head east on Thanon Chao Fa towards the intersection with Thanon Pha That. At the intersection, turn right onto Thanon Pha That. Continue walking straight for about 2 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Thanon Phu Kham. Turn left onto Thanon Phu Kham and walk for another 1 kilometer until you see signs for Pang Mu. This area is also known for its beautiful scenery and rice fields.

• Songthaew (Shared Taxi)

  From the Mae Hong Son town center, look for a Songthaew (the red pickup trucks used as shared taxis). You can catch a Songthaew heading towards Pang Mu. It usually costs around 20-30 Thai Baht. Inform the driver that you want to go to Ban Kung Mai Sak Rice Bridge. The ride should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive at Pang Mu, you may need to walk a short distance (about 500 meters) to reach the bridge.

• Bicycle Rental

  If you prefer a more active approach, consider renting a bicycle from one of the many rental shops in Mae Hong Son. After renting, head east on Thanon Chao Fa and follow the same route as the walking instructions. Biking will allow you to enjoy the scenic views along the way and take breaks as needed. The total distance is about 3 kilometers, which should take around 15-20 minutes.
