The Bullfrog Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It is approaching the time of year when my farang family come to empty my fridge of beer and wine. Many years ago I worked in Umphang and would love to take my Thai and Farang families for a post Songkran holiday there. So, any recommendations of hotels resorts or websites??.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[10 rooms and 3 bangalows] Phone : 055-561 073 A good resource is http://www.hotelguidethailand.com/home/hot...ac=1708&p=1 This area tends to be "backpacker" country and so there are some reviews (good and bad) at some of the "travelblog" type websites This are is also a nice stop-overt for those doing a visa run to Mae Sot. Route 1090 used to be known as "Death Highway" due to the Guerrilla (not gorilla ) activity leading up until the 1980's. But lives are still lost due to brake failures on the steep and treacherous winding roads through the incredible mountain scenery. I cannot recommend any myself as I have only passed though. I do plan on exploring further in future. Chok Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I lived for years in Umphang. Prices for tours are everywhere the same, accomodation can vary a bit but is all reasonable but basic. No real hotels there. Moo 1 adresses are all in Umphang itself, the other ones outside Umphang. For most you won't have to book in advance. Only around the new year everything will be full. Starting March everything will almost be empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
