Ban Mae Sam Laeb is the name of a village near Salawin River. It looks so beautiful, with the scenery of moutains surrounding little houses and the river.

Ban Mae Sam Laeb started from being a small community with several houses. Until the commercial situation has been improved and political chaos happened, Burmese people started to evacuated themselves into the village. These people built more houses for them to live new lives. Now that can tell the reason why you see a lot of houses at Ban Mae Sam Laeb nowadays. Beside of the houses, you will see various types of villagers too. There are Muslims, Shan people, Karen people etc.
