Doi Muser Hilltribe Market at a Glance#

About Doi Muser Hilltribe Market#

Located at the highest point of the highway that connects Tak city and Mae Sot, the hilltribe market at Doi Muser is a blaze of colour and commerce, with motorists stopping off to buy unusual fruits and vegetables from stalls operated by Hmong, Lahu and Lisu. It is easy to find at kilometre marker 29, and there is usually a flurry of activity with cars pulling in and out. Even if you buy nothing, a stop offers the chance for a cup of coffee and a little exercise.

While you might spot a few handicrafts on sale, the market is predominantly about fresh food. When Thais travel far from home, they have something of an obsession with seeking out the tastiest local produce and taking a sample back to share with relatives, and this market offers an excellent opportunity to do just that.
