Introducing Mae Salong (Santikhiri)
Aside from Bangkok’s Amphoe Yaowarat, Mae Salong is Thailand’s most Chinalike community. The atmosphere here is reminiscent of a small Chinese mountain village. The combination of pack horses, a mainly Yunnanese population, hill tribes (Akha, Lahu, Shan, Mien), red lanterns decorating shops, and southern Chinese-style houses conjure up images of a small town or village in southern China’s Yunnan Province.
