Doi Musoe Market is named after the Musoe (Lahu) hill tribe, the main community selling their agricultural products here. This market is one of the largest and most important hill tribe markets along the Tak–Mae Sot route, offering a wide range of goods: vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and lettuce; fruits such as strawberries, grapes, lychee, and mangoes depending on the season; highland flowers; handicrafts; herbs; and local snacks.
