Moo Ban Rak Thai (Mae Aw) is a unique village in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand, originally settled by former Kuomintang (KMT) soldiers who sought refuge after the Chinese Civil War. The village is characterized by its Yunnanese architecture, tea plantations, and a central lake that reflects the surrounding mountains. It has become a popular destination for those seeking a tranquil retreat, offering opportunities for tea tasting, enjoying Chinese cuisine, and exploring the scenic landscape. While it has grown in popularity, retaining a peaceful atmosphere remains a key draw for visitors. The village is situated on a steep, winding road, approximately 44-45 kilometers from Mae Hong Son city.
This is a beautiful city which is so nice to visit. The location here is stunning and the views are beautiful. The city is blessed with a lot of ancient buildings and historic places which makes this place really beautiful and nice to go around. We really enjoyed this city and will definitely come back again.
The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.
