Ban Rak Tai is a small village on the border with Myanmar, in a valley surrounded by hills and tea plantations on the edge of a lake. The village is famous for its spectacular views and the cultivation of tea. Due to its remote location, the village is still little known to tourists. Many houses here are built according to old traditions - made of straw and clay, which gives the village a special charm.
On this day, you can walk around the village, enjoy the surrounding nature and try local teas as well as Chinese cuisine.
