Mae Salong Morning Market

Why we love it?

This tour begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Mae Hong Son and takes you to the Mae Salong Morning Market, where you can explore a variety of local snacks including fried insects like grasshoppers, red ants, silk worms, bamboo worms, red ant eggs, crickets, mini crickets, and scorpions. Alongside sampling or photographing these unique treats, you'll observe locals offering food to monks in a traditional alms-giving ceremony on the main road, learning about the customs and rules that govern this daily ritual. The experience combines cultural insight with a chance to engage directly in local practices in Chiang Rai and Mae Salong Nok, with return transportation included for convenience. This tour suits travelers interested in authentic cultural experiences and local food traditions.
