Hey Albert there are plenty of vehicles that head to Chiang Rai daily, ask at one of the hotels or cafes or the markets, you should pick up a ride quite easily.

You will be able to get transport from up there back to Chiang Rai just organise it with whoever you travel up there with.

THIS is a huge area so at least two nights and make sure you chat to the locals. There are so many hidden away gems and many of them have never appeared in a guide book. Many local tour companies will spend an entire day trundling round this area on roads which would give road organisations such as the AA and RAC absolute nightmares, but such routes are frequently the only way in to remote villages. One village I saw had its main street abruptly end in a reinforced line of sandbags beyond which the rest of that part of the village had simply slid into a valley during heavy rain. There are viewpoints -- the tour companies often know of them -- which are no more than a rough gravelled pull in but which offer sweeping impressions of the countryside where jungle is never far away. And watch out for those villages which grow their own coffee. I bought a couple of packets of beans at one and I'm drinking a cup of freshly percolated coffee now as I write this. Absolutely superb and a great memory. And all this is just the less publicised part of Doi Mae Salong. When you add the main attractions then you can see how some people spend a week or even a fortnight here, hacking their way from one remote spot to the next. We did something like 100km in a single day and barely scratched the surface of this fascinating area. Have fun and hope this helps.

I saw that I saw local small bus (the converted pick up 2 row seater) at the foot hill of the road before going up Mae Salong (the only road up). May be you can check with shops at the central area with shops (the big landmark of cement road block ZERO kilometer) Another choice is come down the hill with local transport TO THE BUS station.

las plantaciones de te estan verdes todo el ano la unica diferencia es que hay epocas que las hojas son verde oscuro o que hay hojas verde claro y verde oscuro, normalmente se recogen las nuevas, verde claro Tienes que ir mejor desde Chian Rai, esta mas cerca hay guias espanoles pero pocos y mas caros.
