Fodor's Expert Review Mae Sariang and Nearby

Near Mae Sariang the road winds through some of Thailand's most spectacular mountain scenery, with seemingly endless panoramas opening up through gaps in the thick teak forests that line the route. You'll pass hill tribe villages where time seems to have stood still, and Karen women go to market proudly in their traditional dress. Salawin National Park is west of Mae Sariang on Highway 1194, though the road doesn't proceed very far into this beautiful wilderness area that has hiking and biking trails.
