Mae Sai is a municipality located in the northernmost part of Thailand and part of Chiang Rai province. As we went around, we see that this town is a first class municipality with many banks, restaurants, grocery stores and tourist destinations. Part of the town is hilly and mountainous, the rest is plain where farmers plant rice, corn, vegetables and strawberries. The temperature here is cooler compare to most part of the country especially during winter season (without snow) or Christmas time. Right now the temperature is hotter especially during daytime. On the hilly portion of the town, we saw plantations of lychees and small oranges (actually lychee trees are everywhere).
We learned that Mae Sai is not only a home for Thai people but shares it with Chinese and Burmese. The main religion of the people is of course Buddhism. Everywhere you go you will see symbols of Buddhism. There is a small percentage of Christian and Islam in Mae Sai.
