| Review :
Pang-Aung
national park is located in the region of Mea-hong-sorn
about an hour away from the main town Pai. It used to be
called Raumthai village and is now part of the royal
project to protect local hill tribes homes
and unique culture by being destroyed by commercialism
and development. They only allow 80 tents in the park
per night and home stays are very limited. Also don't
expect too many home comforts in this little town as
there is not even electricity, however this just adds to
the charm. Hill tribes go about their everyday lives
here and when you visit you have to respect their home.
I think this is the best thing about this place ensuring
Thailand’s famous hill tribe cultures live on!
Here are telephone numbers
for Guesthouses in the village.
1.
Guest houses and tents : call

2.
Raum Thai Guest house

* Thanks to my friend
Khing for photos and information.
When is the best time
to go :
It’s very
nice all year round but the best time would probably be
say around December- January as it will be nice and cool
in this period.
How to get there :
There are tours and buses going to Pai everyday and are
not expensive at all.
