An always favourite : Khao Mao Khao Fang. They stick to their motto: Dine in an imaginary jungle... I love this place. Have been there the first time in 2000...

Mae Sot - Mae Sariang

The road took us along the border from Mae Sot to Mae Sariang - some of the biggest refugee camps for Burmese people are located here- Mae Sariang is nothing to write home about - but a stop to spend the night.
