Public transportation appears to be rather spotty around here. Your best bet is to either hire a guide from Mae Hong Son, in which case they can provide you with far more information than this page will, or to rent a motorbike in Mae Hong Son and ride up on your own. The ride is beautiful, meandering through a picturesque valley, up and down steep hills on a very windy road. The road is paved all the way. Watch for cow manure in the curves. It can be rather slippery, and the story of why your trip was suddenly aborted could be most embarrassing.
From Mae Hong Son, head North on 1095. About 10km up, you will see signs for Ban Rak Thai. Take a left, and follow this windy road for another 35km or so, until it ends in the village. Geocoordinates: N19 35.109, E097 56.552.
