The highlands in Chiang Rai are home to several tribes, namely Lisu, Karen, Mien, Hmong, Akha, and Lahu. In one journey to Chiang Rai, I unexpectedly arrived in two Akha villages located in the Mae Sai district.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pha Mee Village and Ban Pha Mee are about 8 kilometers from Mae Sai city. There are more villages around this area worthy of visiting if you have two days to explore. Chiang Rai’s proximity to Laos, Myanmar, and China hosts many refugees from its neighbors. Village name boards are in Thai, English, and Chinese. The villagers migrated from the Yunnan province in China to the Mae Sai hills in 1922.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visited without a guide. You could hire a local guide with help from a guesthouse or prearrange to explore the culture and history of the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban Pha Mee <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pha Mee village is built on a hill slope with a deep gradient. The spiral-shaped road takes you uphill, gives you a panoramic view of the foothill cities. Simple houses on both sides of the road, a few have signs of a homestay on the walls. The village has a strong community-based tourism group. As an initiative started by the late King of Thailand, Arabica coffee beans are the main crop in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning in Pha Mee Village <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The morning in Pha Mee clears up after heavy rain. Misty. The perfect lazy weather. Sadly, the weather was not on our side for hiking in the area. A camping ground next to the homestay looks abandoned. Otherwise, maybe you could bring your camping gear.<\/p>\n\n\n

Homestay <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Buswa Homestay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We haven’t decided where to stay, so we saw the signboard of Buswa Homestay as we were driving up the hill. The homestay is at the end of the road, surrounded by orchards. It offers a panoramic view of the valley. The best thing about Buswa Homestay is its location. The panoramic view of the foothill from the homestay’s yard is worth staying for 2 to 3 days as a retreat :).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the rain, the landscape turns mystical as the clouds slowly move in. It is also a coffee shop. You can enjoy homemade food here. The homestay owners speak very limited English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast served is porridge, pickles, and an omelette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban Pha Hee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ban Pha Hee<\/a> is 9 km from Pha Mee village. You don’t need a day to explore this hilly village. You can walk around and enjoy several cups of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d call this village a coffee village. It hosts more than 10 coffee shops<\/strong>. Some are even owned by very young people. Stop by \u0e01\u0e32\u0e41\u0e1f\u0e22\u0e2d\u0e14\u0e14\u0e2d\u0e22\u0e1c\u0e32\u0e2e\u0e35\u0e49<\/a><\/strong> for the stunning view and cupping the highland Arabica :). Don’t forget to take a village tour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
