Mae Hong Son Province - Transportation

Transportation

Air

Both Mae Hong Son Town and Pai District are connected with flights to and from neighboring Chiang Mai.

Motorbikes

Due to the lack of public transportation, the preferred mode of travel with locals is motorbike. Mae Hong Son's roads, however, are not in the best condition.

Bicycles

These are popular with both locals and tourists and are the preferred mode of transportation in towns.

Car

Four-wheel drive is the recommended form of transportation for travel into the mountains. The roads, though, may be extremely dangerous.

Foot

For travel into the remote areas to visit hill-tribes, the only way is on foot.

Hitch-hike

This mode of travel in Thailand is only advised for routes which have no kind of public transport. Army and police are always happy to pick up foreigners, but it is local custom for hitchhikers to help pay for the cost of the petrol.
