In the mountains of Northern Thailand on the border of Burma you can find Ban Rak Thai. A Chinese settlement in the hills of the Golden Triangle. Through the trade of opium the villagers of Ban Rak Thai became extremely wealthy, powerful and feared.

Today you find a Chinese food paradise hiding in Mae Hong Son Province. Let's explore Ban Rak Thai and taste the delicious cuisine of this interesting village.

    The tables in the first restaurant are set up nicely with a view while eating! The view from the second restaurant is also great. After your meal, you can take a boat ride on the river, which is great! The tea in the third restaurant comes from Taiwan, so it might be Alishan tea! Other tea growing areas in Taiwan include Nantou Lugu, Yushan, Shanlinxi, Lishan, and Dayu Ridge! Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful travel, really great job! 👍🥰🙏

    Ban Rak Thai has a meaning in Thai that means The village that loves Thailand. It is the home of Division 93. of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Chinese soldiers. When they lost to Mao Zedong's Chinese Communist Party, they withdrew into northern Thailand illegally at first. During the time that Thailand had an internal war with the communists. It is a war against communism. The government at that time offered the 93rd Division to help fight against the communist terrorist guerrillas. After the calm situation, Division 93 was allowed to settle in the 3 northern provinces and granted Thai citizenship.
