Mon Jam — Attraction in Chiang Mai Province

Mon Jam is a mountain community/village about 1 hour from Chiang Mai, near the town of Mae Rim. It’s famous for being home to the ethnically diverse Hmong Tribespeople, and the cold weather combined with gorgeous mountain views. Where is Mon Jam

North of Chiang Mai, about 37km (25mile) drive. First you drive from Chiang Mai city to Mae Rim town, just on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. Then you take a left into the mountains. The last 20 minutes or so are a spectacular drive (or ride if you’re in a motorbike).

How to get to Mon Jam?

First, presumably, you’ll be in Chiang Mai. Now, you have 3 choices to get from Chiang Mai to Mon Jam. Drive yourself, take a taxi or ride a scooter.

The 2nd half of the journey is STEEP. I took an old Honda Civic automatic, and it was a slow drive up the hill! Better to have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle, but it is possible with a 2-wheel drive like mine.

If you’re on a scooter, if it’s 125cc or less, AND automatic, AND 2 people are riding – it will be a slow, zig-zagged approach.

The road isn’t too bad actually, it’s just the gradient. And then once you reach the town of Mon Jam, and drive to your campsite, that’s the only bad bit of road, the last hundred metres or so.

Things to do in Mon Jam

Mon Jam, as I mentioned, is just outside Mae Rim. And Mae Rim is home to half of the activities in Chiang Mai! So in terms of things to do, there are a lot. Let’s have a look:

Camping in Mon Jam. This is the main event. Day trips to Mon Jam from Chiang Mai are possible, but I recommend staying 1 night and staying in the huts/pods. Pongyang Jungle Coaster Zipline. There’s a cafe complex near Mon Jam, just 10 minutes drive, that’s home to a zipline, a great coffee shop and a rustic ‘jungle coaster’, where you control a little cart at the speed of your choosing around the jungle. Really cool. Mae Sa waterfall. Just as leave you Mae Rim, before you start the mountain drive, you’ll find Mae Sa Waterfall. Elephant POOPOOPAPER Park. A Chiang Mai insitution. Great for kids. An ethical, pro-elephant centre that recycles elephant poo into PAPER! Yup. Flying Squirrels Zip Line Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai’s most famous zipline. Coffee @ Pong Yeang Berry-Windyhill. Popular with the instagram crowd is Berry-Windyhill Cafe. Great view points and cheap, tasty thai food. A good spot for lunch. Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden and it’s canopy walk. Not my kinda thing, but a well-made Royal botanical garden. The canopy walkway is pretty cool though. Strawberry Farms. The weather in Mon Jam means strawberries are in abundance. You’ll drive past no less than 20 strawberry farms, all of which have a little shop selling fresh produce. Stop by when you drive past. Skywalk Mon Jam. Rivaling the botanical gardens canopy walk is Mon Jam’s skywalk. Flowers a plenty, great views and, you guessed it, perfect for the Instagram lovers! Waterfall restaurant . Lunch spot, right by a waterfall. Traditional thai-style seating, as local...
