Exploring Ban Rak Thai – Thailand’s Hidden Chinese Village

Join me as I explore Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย), a stunning Chinese village tucked away in the mountains of Northern Thailand, right on the border with Myanmar. Famous for its Yunnan culture, tea plantations, and peaceful lakeside scenery, Ban Rak Thai is a slice of traditional Chinese culture hidden in the northern mountains of Thailand.

In this vlog, we will go for a walk around the village, take a boat out onto the lake, and drink copious amounts of tea in one of Thailands most unique places.

📍 Location: Ban Rak Thai, Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand
☕ Highlights: tea tasting, mountain views, lakeside village vibes

If you’re planning to visit Mae Hong Son, Pai, or Northern Thailand, Ban Rak Thai is absolutely worth the journey.
