Travel Tips for Mae Hong Son
The Big Thai
by TinTingo
You might com across the Shan when you skim over your Lonely Planet...
Who are they except from the fact that they are related to the Thai?
They originate in Burma and have migrated to the area during the 19th and 20th century. In fact, they are still migrating as their villages beyond the border are frequently blazed down by the Burmese troops.
No exotic dresses, mates, but if you look closely, you will see ladies with broad straw hats, at the morning markets and so.
And they do speak different. Maybe not to you, but when they are among themselves, your petty knowledge of Thai won't take you very far.
If you want to impress them, say "mai soong khaa" instead of "sawatdee" (the greeting bit)
If you want to say thank you, you may opt for "jom lee khaa"
There is no Shan course anywhere - but maybe you are lucky and the locals will teach you some phrases in the temple....

An interesting trip to a countryside
by MJL
I noticed a funny thing when visiting Asia. I have made an almost every time some kind of boat trip and so it was in Mae Hong Son. I took part half day long excursion by boat to visit a village of long-necked Padong women.
Long neck village(2)
by paradisedreamer
The hill tribe people live a very simple existence. You will see children playing in the dust and chickens running around. It has become a bit of a tourist attraction and the women now sell souvenirs, they are very cheap so buy something in exchange for all the photographs you will no doubt take.
