Umphang. Much more at www.thailandmagic.com and http Probably the best Mae Sot Hotels Hobart are at the entrance to Mae Sot from Tak and at the northern bypass road. The Mae Sot Central hotel at the bypass road has a very pretty restaurant just along a pond, the hotel is operated by one of the big Thai hotel chains. Also the Mae Sot Hill Resort is in a pretty environment. Umphang is south of Mae Sot in the mountain jungle wilderness of the Thailand Myanmar border area. Probably one of the best great outdoor destination in Thailand but it is very difficult to access since the forestry department of Thailand in Bangkok refuses to extend the road from Kampheng Phet near Nakhon Sawan in central Thailand to Umphang. Just to put this into context, this is not what I am thinking, I simply don’t know, I am a foreigner. This is what the local people told me. That means an almost 500 km detour via Mae Sot which naturally most people try to avoid since the road from Mae Sot down to Umphang is simply dangerous.
