Wild Sunflower Fields
by riproy
South of MHS town is an area known for its plentiful wild sunflowers. In the month of November, the hills in this area are covered with the yellow-orange flowers ('dok bua tong' in Thai) and it is quite pretty.
Off the Beaten Path in this case is relative. Thais do flock to see this - it is hugely popular, but because of its remoteness, not that many people see it. It is becoming more and more popular every year, and so more and more minivans (10 passenger vans) show up there crowding an otherwise quiet road. They pull their vans over, take a few pictures, get in the vans again and drive off.
The fields are located about 90 km south of Mae Hong Son town on the way to Mae Sarieng and a few km uphill off the main highway. The road was recently paved so it should be in good shape.
Because it has become a tourist attraction, i don't feel that the wild sunflowers are growing all that 'wildly' any longer.

Mae Hong Son fruit market
by SumTingWong
To get a good feel of the taste and smell of Thailand's fruite, heading over to the Mea Hong Son market is a good idea. You will have the pleasure to smell Dturian, a larger prickly fruit. In fact all over Thailand you will here about Dturian, big signs on trains and hotels saying " No Dturian allowed here! " You will also to get to taste some of the best fruits of the orient... go for these:
LomYai (my favorite)
RohmBhuThan (very good, but you will always eat the pit covering)
LeeChee
Jak Fruit (very very big!)
Mangosteams (good, don't eat the outside "shell", very sweet and has a bit of a slimy texture in the moulth)
and many more... just go for them and don't be afraid to let your sense of smell guide you!
