News:

Artist photographer, Michel Szulc Krzyzanowski, is staying with us now for a month as he works on his “What The World Has Never Seen” project. Soppong is one of his project's locations, along with New York, Moscow, Amsterdam, Jerusalem, Accra, Sao Paolo, Kocaeli (Turkey), and Buenos Aires, which will be his next stop. With the question “What can people show that the world has never seen before?” Michel's photography-based project “What The World Has Never Seen”, explores how people around the world define privacy and intimacy. A book of the resulting photos will be published at the conclusion of his field work. Wall Street Journal featured his project, and you can read more on his project at his website, including a blog where he talks about some of his experiences around Soppong.

Lisu New Year in Soppong begins on 22 January this year, and the festivities run for a week following. There are several Lisu villages within walking distance and they will all be celebrating with traditional music, dance, food, and drink lasting until early morning each night. This is when the Lisu women dress in their finest tradition clothes and silver, and all are invited (even you) to join the party.

We've just finished the newest addition to our collection - The Nests. They are very comfortable places to nest, and include everything you need from an iPhone dock to complimentary mini-bar and breakfasts. Your choice of the Ground Nest or the Air Nest...or both.

Soppong finally has motorbike rentals again, with the new Castrol Bike Point shop renting out Honda Waves for 200 baht/day. The shop is located about 150 metres from our entrance.

After a lapse of several years, nonstop flights between Bangkok and Mae Hong Son have returned. Now you can get up to Soppong a lot faster. Happy Air now have flights on Wednesday and Saturdays between Bangkok and Mae Hong Son.

It's currently cool season in Soppong, and the temperatures are going down to 10°C some nights. Daytimes are sunny and warm, in the mid 20s, but if you plan on visiting us, be sure to bring something warm to wear for the evenings and early mornings.

The big budget French film, Largo Winch 2: Burma Conspiracy, has been released with scenes shot in Mae Hong Son, including right here in Pangmapha District. While the film crew stayed with us during the shoot, the stars all stayed over in Pai at five star resorts. Many of the scenes are set in Burma, and locations around the Soppong area were used for those. Here is the trailer where you can see some of those scenes - start looking for them at around 40 seconds.

We were happy to see that Lonely Planet gave us their "Top Choice" notation for Soppong in their new 2012 edition. Their review goes on to say "Set among lush gardens with winding paths, the rooms have heaps of character and are all slightly different".

One of our guests posted loads of photos of views around the Inn and our gardens(including our resident Labrador and cats), along our stretch of the Lang River and around Soppong. You can view his blog page here. It's in Thai language, but you can still look at the photos!
