Nature
Mae Hong Son (The City of Three Mists) is nestled in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges. Mae Hong Son has long been isolated from the outside world and is the most mountainous province in Thailand. Most of the areas are complex mountain ranges and likely still pristine virgin forest.
The name refers to the fact that this 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 to work in the capital.
Several prehistoric sites are known within Pang Mapha area. The most famous one is the Spirit Cave occupied from about 9000 till 5500 BC by Hoabinhian hunters and gatherers.
Keep in mind, this is a very remote area. The webcam is not always on, but it is well worth the wait.

This map is in memory of my beloved god-daughter Adrienne, who inspired me to explore new horizons, encouraged me to persist through all life's difficulties, but most of all, taught me the importance of love.
