Mae Sariang, on the surface, may appear to be a quiet little town with nothing much happening. Certainly, its not a shopping mecca, and there are no malls… not even a supermarket. However, there are markets! Two fresh produce markets, night markets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, and a big clothing market every Saturday morning…
There are some stunning temples tucked away on side streets…
Within 2 hours drive of town there are places like Ban Mae Sam Laeb which offer glimpses of life on the wild west border with Myanmar, and opportunities for a boat trip on the mighty Salween River…
For the more adventurous, there are;
- guided fishing trips
- trekking
- bamboo rafting
- waterfalls & caves
- coffee & tea plantations
There are festivals, including the April (Hot Season) Songkran Festival, which offer great entertainment as young and old share the fun of this nationwide water-fight!
