| Nestled
in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges,
Mae Hong Son has long been isolated from the
outside world. Virtually covered with mist throughout
the year, the name refers to the fact that is terrain
is highly suitable for the training of elephants.
Former governors of Chiang Mai used to organize the
rounding up of wild elephants which were then trained
before being sent to the capital for work. Today, Mae
Hong Son is one of the dream destination
for visitors who are attracted by its cultural and natural
wonders
