If you head west at the northern checkpoint for the Mae La refugee camp, there is an abundance of secondary roads that run around the Myanmar border and even loop back south around the refugee camp (thanks to Colin's scouting)

This was a temporary camp that was used in season to collect the leaves that they use for roofs of the Karen buildings, there must have been good concentration of the correct trees there

If you're in the Mae Sot area and have some time, this is a fun area to explore that not many know about
