I heard it does but that may be outdated information.

@Nick ***********

Good idea. I think I'll bring that just in case.

It's for registering a motorbike. Are you sure? I heard this is something you get from immigration.

@Stuart ********

Is this it? So there is an immigration office here and this is where I can get the residence certificate?

Also, is there an expedited service where I can get it the next day or in a few days? If so, where do I go or who do I talk to for that?

@Garrett **********

Awesome! Thanks for the info 🙂 Yeah, I think I'll definitely check out the city at least and do some hiking and camping in the mountains while I'm there. Enjoy your trip! 😎

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was that remote! I Googled the population earlier and it said 284,138, but I guess that's for the entire province, not the city. Looks like the city itself has only 7K people or so 😯 That's only 5K more than Pai, which I've been to a few times.

I checked Bring Fido and Booking dot com for pet-friendly hotels and it looks like there are a few, but I imagine finding the pet-friendly apartments would require an agent or a local who knows the city well. Yes, could you please ask your friend? I'd really appreciate it.

What about the air quality during burning season? Is it just as bad as Chiang Mai or not so bad?

Any idea if I could install 3BB fiber optic internet there or in Pai?

Thanks for the info Garrett (y) I heard about the easing of restrictions on interprovincial travel, but I'm not sure if that's only for dark red zones. I'm not sure if individual provinces will still have their own rules. Nice to know that some people were able to make it there without having to quarantine. I'm thinking about moving there and want to check it out first.

Have you ever lived in Mae Hong Son (the city)? If so, what are your thoughts? Do you know if there are some decent pet-friendly apartments there? Are there any Facebook groups for foreigners that you can link me to?

When are you planning to go?

I highly recommend Khru Nok on iTalki. She's an excellent teacher who speaks fluent English. I spent a lot of time trying different teachers on iTalki and Preply before I found her.
