Thailand

Mae Hong Son is a small city in northern Thailand, with a population of 9,109. It is inland, in a mountainous part of the country, rather than on the coast.

Travellers arriving by air use Mae Hong Son Airport (HGN). There are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so a visit here is better suited to inland scenery and northern Thailand travel than to a beach holiday.
