A map review of Mae Hong Son
Some 40 years ago Major Roy Hudson, a retired British
army officer in Chiang Mai, first visited the province of Mae Hong Son along
Highway No 108 in a sedan car. He halted 14 kilometres short of Mae Sariang

Mae Hong Son could only be reached by a Dakota DC3 plane twice a week and
there were no tourists at all. All this has now changed.
