The Doi Mae Salong mountain road is by far one of the most beautiful driving loops in all of Thailand. From Chiang Mai, Doi Mae Salong is about 4 hours to the North, beyond the Chiang Dow National Forest. The drive is very curvy, and at times very dangerous. However, once you get out into the jungle, you will loose track of time, wherever it is that you come from.
This post visually describes what you will find in the market at the Chinese immigrant town of Doi Mae Salong. Please don't be afraid to haggle over everything that is for sale. If you don't bargain,
they will pull the wool over your eyes.
Although, everyone in the market is very friendly and
sincerely genuine.
Please take a look at my pictures below, and then plan a trip to Thailand for yourself.
