Cruising at Ban Rak Thai: A Must-Try Experience

If you're planning a trip to Mae Hong Son, make sure to visit Ban Rak Thai and try cruising on the lake. You can enjoy this activity in the morning, afternoon, evening, or even at night. At night, you can admire the lights, while in the early morning (6:00-7:00 AM), you can witness the breathtaking mist. This is an experience you shouldn't miss! The morning mist is incredibly beautiful, so get your outfit and makeup ready and go for it. The price is reasonable, and the weather is absolutely delightful. Each time of day offers a unique vibe, and every moment is stunning. The accommodations in Ban Rak Thai are charming and stylish. If you can brave the winding roads to get there, it will be worth the effort. The beauty of this place will stay with you for months to come. The best time to visit is during the winter, as the morning mist is most prominent. If you visit during other seasons, it's recommended to go cruising at night for a more enchanting experience. The boats here meet high safety standards, and every design is certified before being allowed to operate. Once you arrive, feel free to walk around the lake and ask for recommendations—everyone is incredibly friendly. In the evening, don't forget to enjoy a hot pot meal by the water. The view is stunning, and the cold weather combined with the mist creates the perfect atmosphere for a cozy meal while watching the boats. The price range for cruising is 400-800 THB, depending on the number of people. For a group of six, we paid 550 THB, even during New Year's, which is very reasonable. Tips: Don't forget to prepare your outfit and makeup. Time flies quickly, and you never know if you'll get the chance to return (especially after navigating those winding roads). Make the most of your visit because it's as beautiful and romantic as people say. As for accommodations, almost every place here is beautiful and reasonably priced. Since we focused on exploring, we just chose a clean and safe place to stay. This trip is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
