Mae Hong Son



















A week before my parents left we all went up to the city of Mae Hong Son in the northern province of Mae Hong Son. Mae Hong Son is located about 6 hours, through the winding mountains, from Chiang Mai and about 11 hours from my site by bus. Mae Hong Son is a really beautiful province as it is set in the beautiful mountains of Thailand. The architecture here is a bit different. Many of the buildings have tall steeples with terraces that get smaller and smaller climbing to a point. You can see a great example of this in my first picture. The second picture is of the most famous temple in Mae Hong Son. It is set around a busy night market, selling beautiful hill tribe goods, over looking a beautiful lake.

Unbelievable photos, Wesley. I know the beauty of the subjects has a lot to do with it, but you also have a real eye for capturing moments. My favorite is the kids with their noses up against the window . . . a phenomenon that knows no cultural barriers!

Keep up the great work!
