Thum Pum Tham Pla Cave and Ban Jabo, Mae Hong Son

Today, we were going to make our way to Pai.  We made a few stops along the journey as well.  Tham Pum Tham Pla or Fish cave, Ban Jabo to have 2-dollars noodles with million dollars view and a short break at Doi Kew Lom.

This fish cave is one of the popular tourist destinations in the area. You will find a pond of freshwater fish by a hallow limestone cave.  You can feed the fish or otherwise just do a short hiking trail in this hilly forests.  It made a good brief recreation stop for young children.  

 

Look at those snake roads ahead us.  Mae Hong Son is claimed as one of the most beautiful province in Thailand, but is also known for their hell curves.  But it is all worth it to make one's way.

Just before arriving at Pai, we went up to a small village called Ban Jabo.  It is the house of Black Lahu community.  There are several noodle shops and simple homestays in the area.  The best thing out of here is the view and landscape.  Their houses sit in the crest of mountain ranges overlooking a thrilling panorama.  Each house has the best sight, it would be amazing to wake up everyday looking at that wonderful view.  

As we went there when country borders still close, we had no problem at all with crowded tourists.  We had the place for our own.  We also had some cheap noodles from local restaurants while submerging our eyes with a magnificent landscape.  The noodle itself tastes mediocre.  However, the scene is PRICELESS!!!

What a view!!!!

Viewpoint at Doi Kew Lom

 

From Jabo village, we continued our road trip toward the next destination, Pai.  We made a brief stop again at Doi Kew Lom, the view point of a stunning mountanious scenery.  At that time, the mist just came by and covered this resting spot, turned everything white.  We stayed for awhile until it gone then we're able to catch the beautiful mountainscape.

Stay tuned for the next blog in Pai:
