shoes you don't mind getting wet for bamboo rafting trips. Sturdy shoes for forest walks (hiking boots are better) This is one of the two areas of Thailand where there'a a high-risk of malaria, so it makes sense to stock up with good repellent. it's also a good idea to use malarone (or to have it as emergency-treatment at least).
We stopped at a small shop to get something to drink and sat on the pavement / in the sand for a while. It was a great opportunity to watch the comings and goings in the village. Sometimes on a journey you need to stop and take notice of what is going on around you
If you can brave waking up at 5am then a visit to the early morning market is highly recommended. This is a great insight into how the locals live, its a colourful and vibrant affair where you can try all kinds of local produce and pick up a local breakfast. Also, at this time you will see the brightly coloured oranged robed monks walking the streets on ther daily alms, and observe locals making offerings to them.
Ngohps are the traditional straw hats of Thailand (and SEAsia). There are many handmade Ngohp shops in Mae Hong Son. You may be luckey enough to actually see them being made, but still it's interesting to visit these little shops. If you want you can buy a Ngohp, don't pay over 250 Baht for a painted one and not more than 170 Baht for a normal one.
After 74 hours on the Mae Hong Son Loop, we finally returned back to Chiangmai with a sense of achievement and a Certificate to show our family and friends of our adventurous journey over the more than 2000 curvy turns in Northern Thailand.
