This place is really beautiful and fantastic. It's a Chinese village in the northern part of Thailand. Everything is so cool and peaceful. The people are also friendly. A very beautiful place, it's cool in the mountains at night. The whole village looks like a set from a Chinese drama. A place with amazing views. The most beautiful village in Thailand. To see the view of the whole village, go to the shops above. It's worth the long trip to get here. Here you can buy very good tea. It's quite difficult to access by public transport. Several kilometers of snake-like roads, don't eat lunch before you travel. A beautiful little village in the mountains with a lot of Chinese culture. Various kinds of tea. Restaurants with great views of the lake that serve good food. Going out on a boat for morning tea was really cool. A beautiful Chinese village located in the northern part of Thailand with various Instagrammable spots. P.S. Don't forget to book in advance if you want to take a boat ride. Also, book your hotel in advance during peak season. It's an hour's drive from Mae Hong Son.

A somewhat interesting village . It is remote and getting there takes a while on a windy road. There are many shops selling Chinese goods and food items. This place is definitely worth a detour. I'm really amazed that they managed to turn such a small pond/lake into a tourist attraction and build so many resorts there. It's possible to walk all the way round the pond/lake in a couple of hours. The best time on the lake is definitely as the sun rises and the mists form above it. #thailand #thailandtravel

#WinterTravel #tripmission One of the places on my WISHLIST that I want to go to the most.. Ban Rak Thai, Mae Hong Son🏮⛩ A journey of over 4,088 curves to experience Ban Rak Thai, a Yunnan Chinese village with my own eyes.. The Golden Time that makes this place as beautiful as a dream city must be during the winter. In the morning, we will experience the cold, take a boat and watch the mist floating amidst the water. When it starts at 7-8 am, the soft sunlight starts to fall, creating a very beautiful image. 🍶 When you arrive at Ban Rak Thai, you must not miss eating Yunnan pork leg, steamed buns, soft and fluffy pork leg skin, the soup is salty and delicious. In the evening, come and eat grilled pork to chill. We like the pork here very much. The sauce is delicious. They give a lot of local vegetables. 🍖🥬 📍Another highlight is the Chinese house in the tea plantation🌱 At Leewinerukthai Resort, you can come and take pictures in the tea plantation. The entrance fee is only 20 baht per person. Come and see the beautiful view at Ban Rak Thai. #Ban Rak Thai #Mae Hong Son

This route was done in 1 day! However, it gets really tiring especially with the mountainous ride. Take a sip of tea and a bowl of hot soup noodles in Pang Mahba, dangling your feet off the air! The food was really good too. Supposedly if you are travelling in a group, it would be great to break the itinerary into a few days, stay overnight in Ban Rak Thai, beautiful Yunan village at the border of Myanmar/China!

The city name "Ban Rak Thai" is directly translated to "I love Thailand" which was hidden in a valley of Mae Hon Son province in Thailand. The city is well hidden in lush green bamboo and vegetables farm. It's recommended to access via motorbike or car if you have good skills to make it through narrow and steep corners. It's about an hour away from the capital city of Mae Hon Son.

When talking about Rak Thai Village, everyone probably thinks of Yunnan Chinese culture. Another thing that is indispensable is having breakfast, which consists of mantou and fried noodles, which are local foods of Rak Thai Village. For those staying at Lee Wine Rak Thai, you can have breakfast at the restaurant until 10:00 a.m. The highlight here is having breakfast while viewing the beautiful reservoir. In the morning, you can see the fog on the water surface. #Ban Rak Thai #Mae Hong Son

Ban Rak Thai adalah sebuah perkampungan tanah tinggi kecil yang terletak di wilayah Mae Hong Son, Utara Thailand. Ia terletak di lembah yang dikelilingi oleh bukit dan ladang teh. Oleh kerana lokasinya yang terpencil, kampung ini masih kurang dikenali oleh pelancong. Dari segi jarak, tempat ini adalah kira-kira 40KM dari bandar Mae Hong Son dan 250KM dari Chiang Mai. Ia juga sangat dekat dengan sempadan Myanmar (kurang daripada 1km). #ykk2022 #travel #banrakthai #thailand #tripblazers #awesomepic #staycation #scenic #amazing

Mae Hong Son is located up north of changi mai where there is a little village called Ban Rak Thai located right at the border of Myanmar(Burma). Getting here alone is almost impossible and I do recommend going by tour normally a small day tour group picking you up at Mae Hong Son Town. This town is a quiet peaceful town surrounding the Khuean Nai Mok Reservior, making this a very beautiful photoshot backdrop for many! And normally people come this town for 2 things, the view and the many tea tasting plantation. Not many people are aware of such beauty in Thailand, so maybe step out of your comfort zone and travel somewhere out of the norm for once. Oh P.S, I finally also able to get to use my drone without any restrictions. Muahhahaah!! #fallingforfall #thailand #changmai #teaplantations #view #scenic #breathtaking

In this winter season, we recommend visiting Rak Thai Village in Mae Hong Son Province. Located in Mok Cham Pae Subdistrict, Mueang District, Mae Hong Son Province, this small village of Chinese Yunnan people has a unique charm. The village is nestled among mountains and a lake, providing cool weather all year round, especially in the morning when you can see mist floating above the water. Rak Thai Village has a distinct Chinese Yunnan culture. Tourists can enjoy local delicacies such as pork knuckle with steamed buns and high-quality tea grown in the area. There are various activities to do, such as cruising on the lake, walking through tea plantations, experiencing the local lifestyle, and staying in Yunnan-style accommodations. We particularly recommend the boat cruise, which can be done both during the day and at night. Enjoy the beautiful scenery while cruising, experiencing the lake surrounded by mountains and morning mist, and the village's enchanting lights at night. The boat cruise is usually affordable, costing around 100-200 baht per person, depending on the service provider and the duration of the cruise.

Ban Rak Thai, located in Mok Cham Pae Subdistrict, Mueang District, Mae Hong Son Province, is not far from Pang Ung. It is a village of Yunnan Chinese people. Almost all the buildings in the village are in Chinese style. The overall atmosphere still maintains its original state, except for the area around the lake where there are more accommodations. From my latest visit, several new accommodations are being constructed to cater to tourists. However, the charm of Ban Rak Thai lies in its preservation of the unique Chinese community identity, including the food (they don't use fish sauce there, they use salt instead, which is quite interesting).
