Serene and secluded, this hilly city is often masked in an atmospheric fog. Tourists come here for the extraordinary and stunning natural vista, the mountain hiking and to get a glimpse of the local hill ethnicity communities – one of which is the legendary Karen long neck tribe. The Thanon Thongchai range starts between Myanmar and Thailand is well known for mountaineering and here one can also get to see the Pha Sua waterfall. Crafts and artwork from the hill-tribe communities are exhibited for sale at the local night bazaar -great for exclusive souvenirs.
