I spent two week in Khun Yuam, a small town in the Mae Hong Song district. Being basically the only foreigner (farang, how Thais say) is a whole different experience than in Cities like Bangkok or Chiang Mai. People didn’t speak much english and getting vegan food was always an adventure. Good that I had help and was introduced to quite a few restaurants and other places.

Not far from Khun Yuam is the Mae Surin National Park with amazing views and landscapes.

I saw one of the most amazing sunsets in my life there.
