Ban Karen Mae Sakua is located in the mountainous area of Mae Hong Son province, Northern Thailand. It is a unique destination to discover the culture and daily life of the Karen people. The village offers an immersive experience in a simple lifestyle, harmoniously connected with nature, far from the rush of city life.

Visitors can see traditional bamboo and wooden houses, observe handwoven textiles, learn about local farming, and gain insights into Karen wisdom passed down through generations. Handwoven fabrics and traditional costumes are especially remarkable, representing the cultural identity of the community.

Every season brings different experiences: during the planting and harvesting period, visitors can take part in farming activities, while in the dry season, traditional festivities and cultural ceremonies are celebrated. The village serves as a “living museum” where culture and nature exist side by side.

This destination is ideal for travelers interested in ecotourism, cultural immersion, and community living. Staying in a local homestay offers a warm and welcoming experience with the Karen hosts.
