Sights in Mae Sot

1. Sangkhalok Museum

   • Mae Sot, Thailand
   • Sights › Other

   This small but comprehensive museum is an excellent introduction to ancient Sukhothai’s most famous product and export, its ceramics. It displays an impressive collection of original 700-year-old Thai pottery found in the area, plus some pieces traded from Vietnam, Burma and China. The 2nd floor features examples of non-utilitarian pottery made as art, including some beautiful and rare ceramic Buddha statues.

2. Border Market & Myawadi Market

   • Mae Sot, Thailand
   • Sights › Other

   There is an expansive covered market alongside the Mae Nam Moei on the Thai side that legally sells a mixture of workaday Burmese goods and cheap Chinese electronics.

   However, the real reason most come here is to cross to Myawadi in Myanmar (Burma) – when the border is open. Sŏrng·tăa·ou frequently go to the border (20B, frequent departures from 6.30am to 5.30pm), 5km west of Mae Sot: ask for Rim Moei (Edge of the Moei). The last sŏrng·tăa·ou going back to Mae Sot leaves Rim Moei at 5.30pm.
