Opinion by blog owner
As for me it is very worth to visit the Akha Hill because I felt very relax there and You just pay a little but get a huge return. You will surprise to find that the hill tribe even has internet and solar electricity. The journey from Tha Thon by boat took us 3 hours but it was not boring because we have the opportunity to view the beautiful scenery and the life of hill tribe. The dirty river water is the only thing that disappointed me.
