From Wikitravel

Pang Ung, referred to as Ruam Thai on some signs and maps, is a Shan Minority Village near Mae Hong Son. It should be combined with a trip to Ban Rak Thai. It is a picturesque village of bamboo houses, probably dolled up a bit for the tourist industry. Bamboo grows everywhere, including one stand at least 80 feet tall.

[edit] Understand

[edit] Get in

From Mae Hong Song, follow signs for Ban Rak Thai (see article Ban Rak Thai), but at the village of Na Pa Paek, turn left, following the signs for "Pang Ung Reservoir," or something of the sort. The signs are not exactly consistent, but if it indicates a reservoir, you are going the right direction. It is about 5.5 km from the turn-off, at N19 29.955, E097 54.705.

[edit] Get around

Walk. The reservoir is a bit farther on, and you can walk or motorbike. The reservoir is worth a picture or two.

[edit][add listing] See

Shan people doing embroidery, or just living their lives. Or at least the lives they wish to show to tourists like yourself.

[edit][add listing] Buy

Mountain grown coffee, beautiful embroidery.

[edit][add listing] Eat

There are one or two restaurants. It is unclear what they serve. Shopkeepers and restaurant owners speak some English, but this is not as heavily touristed as one might expect, so communication will be limited if you don't speak Thai.

[edit][add listing] Drink

Coffee. Beer is available, of course, but if you are into the bar scene, you shouldn't be hanging around in this village in the first place.

[edit][add listing] Sleep

There are at least two homestays here, and another guesthouse in the town between Pang Ung and the main road. If you still can't find a place, it is only a short jaunt up to Ban Rak Thai.

[edit] Get out

Same way you came in. If you keep going, the road turns to dirt, and then to nothing at all. There is probably some good trekking around here, but take a guide.
