The Mae Hong Son College, under Chiang Mai Rajabhat University, was established to expand access to higher education in one of Thailand’s most remote provinces. The college is located in Pang Mu Subdistrict, Mueang District, Mae Hong Son, on a 109-rai (approximately 43 acres) plot of land. This land was originally used by 56 local residents of Ban Thung Kong Mu village, who voluntarily donated it for educational purposes. Due to limited funding, development began gradually with support from university leadership, faculty, and students who helped fence the area and prepare it for future use. Project Aims and Activities: The primary aim of the host project is to improve access to quality higher education for youth in Mae Hong Son province and to support community development through education and applied research. Regular activities include academic teaching, student development programs, and community engagement initiatives.
