Mae Salong, a small town in Chiang Rai Province, some 80km (50mi) northeast of Chiang Rai city can be reached via Mae Chan. What makes this little town different from others in northern Thailand is its Chinese populace. The inhabitants are mostly the families of Chinese Kuomintang soldiers who fled from the communists in 1949, first to Burma. They were driven out of Burma in 1961 and then settled on Doi Mae Salong (Mae Salong Mountain), just some 7km (4.4mi) from the Burmese border. Architecture as well as cuisine are Southern Chinese, and in spite of the fact that the place has become a popular tourist destination, it has kept its own distinct appearance.
