Getting There and Away

Bus

Buses pass through Soppong on their way between Pai and Mae Hong Son, with two alternatives. The most sensible is the public bus. It comes through quite regularly throughout the day, and as many people as can be fitted in will be. A sign up in Cave Lodge accurately advises that if the bus is empty, it may be early. If it is full, it will be late and if it breaks down it won't come at all. But plenty more pass through, just make sure you don't rely too heavily on the timetable.

The other alternative is a minibus service between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son. It is much more expensive, but seats one person per seat. It's likely that the minibus will be full as most people travel all the way through. It's possible to book tickets through the minimart behind the bus stop if you speak Thai, otherwise ask at your guesthouse.

Getting Around

Motorbikes can be hired in Soppong village -- expect to pay around 200B per day, with a helmet.
