Nestled in rolling green hills of Mae Rim District, an easy drive from Chiang Mai City, there are actually two Hmong villages here. Mae Sa Noi is the first village one arrives at from highway 1096 and is the location of the “Community Product[s] Center” a fantastic workshop where the locals produce clothing and accessories using traditional materials and techniques. The Hmong of Chiang Mai Province still grow hemp and painstakingly produce woven cloth from the plant's fibrous stalks. The hemp cloth is then colored using natural dyes produced from the indigo plant and other native species. The cloth is then decorated using a batik technique that uses natural bee’s wax.
I was fortunate to arrive in the village as the Sunday service at Mae Sa Noi church was ending. Many of Thailand’s “Hill-People” are Christian having been converted by missionaries. Sundays are a good day to visit villages as many of the locals put on their best traditional costumes to attend the services. I was invited to eat with the congregation and gladly accepted as I never turn down a free meal and I do enjoy Hmong food; it is quite different from Thai cuisine. In return for the hospitality, I purchased a lovely wallet sort-of-thing from the community products center.
After lunch and shopping, I took a stroll through Mae Sa Mai a fairly typical rural village where visitors will see some examples of traditional Hmong architecture. Hmong homes are easy to recognize; they are simple single-story dwellings built of wood (or clay) with rammed earth (dirt) floors.
Completing my exploration of the villages, I drove up in the mountains above both villages, where the homestays are located, and had another wander. The people here are actually quite friendly as Hmong folks tend to be. As previously mentioned, these villages are fairly authentic, not particularly touristy and I highly recommend a visit as part of a Mae Rim District outing.
Did I mention that these are Hmong villages? There are no Kayan (long-neck Karen) people or elephants living here. The reviews that suggest otherwise are simply incorrect.

就是一个小村庄,里面有一些据说是逃难过来的人,女性的脖子上都套了一个个的金色的圈,这个部落以长脖子为美,但是看得出来他们的生活并不好,去玩的人不差钱的话买点纪念品吧,也算是功德一件

長頸族,此次旅行中の人文頻道開啟。最早是緬甸逃過來泰國北部の難民,人數很稀少,逐漸在變少。正名叫做karen族。在長頸村,你能買到純手工的純棉圍巾,150-250泰銖。
整個小村落都十分安靜,門口會有阿卡族擺攤做生意,服飾特色與長頸族相差很多,跟著清萊線來の遊客可以直接參觀,反之則要支付300泰銖の非正常門票(據說無票無証,有待考究)
長頸族不建議大規模の參觀,可供遊玩の面積是很小一部分,繞個圈子就回到起點了,族人の生活非常簡陋,前面の部分是日常織布の工作區域,可供拍照留或合影&買賣手工圍巾編織品、當地衣帽服飾。後面の區域就是平日生活區,一眼望去什麼設施都沒有,簡單的只有床,好心寒。
族里所有女人三五歲就開始戴頸圈,每一年加一圈,再也不可被取下,頸部長時間依賴頸圈承載頭部重量已嚴重變形,詫異の事他們居然可以維繫所有正常人の生活細節包括戴著它們洗澡。殿了殿項圈の份量,整個人都奔潰了,太重,族里多數の女子都面容較好,長期承載真是一大惋惜。你可以選擇跟他們合影留念,但最好記得給小費,哪怕只是20泰銖。
族里最老の族人,脖子、手臂、膝蓋下部都繞了數十個圈,卻依舊面帶笑容,真覺得這樣の枷鎖應該被解僱。而十歲小女孩們,也是乖乖坐在涼蓆上,對每一位旅客問好,並示意招攬客人,寫到這裡忽然有點自責,自己啥都木有買。

A great experience to understand & experience the simple livelihood of the Hmong people. Displaced from modern society, many of these people have to resort to sale of handicraft items to earn a living. Indeed a nice place to travel. Has a restaurant within the hill tribe village. Need to walk distances if want to view all the surroundings. Not suitable for people on wheelchair or crutches to visit.

It works for a visit if you travel to see Doi Suthep temple by bike. Many shops sell cheap souvenir make this village less charming. People friendly. Nice experience.

First and foremost, I love the call of nature in this place.
Secondly, the charm of the Hmong culture shows quite clearly, with them doing various activities and playing their instruments.

Tranquil place. Scenic. Good place to buy handicrafts. Good experience. Trip to Ban Hmong can be 2-3 hour extension to a day trip to the Buddhist temple at Doi Suthep

Recently, on an extended tour of Thailand with Gate 1 Travel, we spent a half day at Mae Sa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai. The elephants were absolutely amazing. I was not real tweaked when I learned we were going, but boy, did I get my mind changed!
These enormous creatures were some of the smartest, most playful, and intelligent creatures I have ever encountered. Used in the past to work the tree removal in the forest, these wonderful beasts would have no function now if it were not for the various "farms" where they are trained to entertain us lucky tourist.
Upon getting to a fenced area where several elephants were kept, our guide grabbed my partner and suggested he stand with his back to the fence for a picture. A huge grey creature immediately wrapped his trunk around my friend's chest, while another took his hat from his head and placed it on its own head - He did return it later. Then, for the final act of affection, another elephant placed the end of his trunk firmly against my friend's cheek and gave him a really big, really sloppy kiss!
We were treated to watching - and almost participating! - in their baths in the river. Then we watched a couple of them literally paint with brushes held in their trunks. The paintings were of trees and flowers, and I am embarrassed to say, probably much better than I could hope to do. They played soccer, performed a massage on one of the trainers, and thoroughly charmed all of us who had the pleasure of the visit.
If you have the opportunity, this is one stop that you do not want to miss.

Son varios los pueblos con caracteristicas similares , pero algunos como Ban Mmong Mae Sa Mai , , reflejan un encanto personal , y son elegidos por los guias a ser visitados
esto contribuye a una mutua compensacion tanto por los lugareños que muchas veces prevenidos de la visita y por parte de los turisras una cordial bienvenida , ya que son cuidados como un autentico pesebre

The village is touristy and does not provide insight to hill people life style, however it is still an interesting place to visit. There is a beautiful garden at the top which includes a wide array of flower types and a small waterfall. Traditionally garbed hill people are ready to pose for pictures. The walk up to the garden takes you through a steep uphill sometimes slippery stairway lined with Hmong souvenirs shops. There are no hand rails and trail shoes should be worn. There is a locally grown and brewed tea at the village which was really delicious.

Are there hotels to stay in? What is there to do and see there? I would like to spend 2 days and 1 night.

Will it be possible to visit this village our own without a guide?
