Exploring the Enchantment of Northern Thailand

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards Mae Sai from any location within the Mekong River Region. Use Route 1 (Phahonyothin Road) which is the main highway leading to Mae Sai. As you approach Mae Sai, keep an eye out for signs indicating the town center. The Northern Most of Thailand is located at 361 Phahonyothin Rd, Mae Sai, Chiang Rai 57130. There is parking available nearby, but be prepared to pay for parking fees which may vary depending on the duration.

• Bus

  For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from Chiang Rai city to Mae Sai. Buses leave frequently from the Chiang Rai Bus Station. The journey will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you reach the Mae Sai Bus Station, you can either walk (approximately 15 minutes) or take a local songthaew (shared taxi) to get to 361 Phahonyothin Rd. The songthaew fare is around 20-30 THB per person.

• Songthaew

  If you are in nearby areas like Chiang Saen or Golden Triangle, you can take a songthaew directly to Mae Sai. The fare will typically cost around 50 THB per person from Chiang Saen. Once you arrive in Mae Sai, follow the local signs to Phahonyothin Road. The Northern Most of Thailand is just a short distance away, and you can either walk or use a local tuk-tuk or motorcycle taxi for a small fee (around 30-50 THB).

• Motorcycle Rental

  For more flexibility, consider renting a motorcycle in Chiang Rai or Mae Sai. Rental shops are available, and prices typically start from 150 THB per day. Once you have the motorcycle, navigate to 361 Phahonyothin Rd. Ensure you have a valid international driving permit to avoid any legal issues.
