The town is heavily influenced by the presence of large number immigrants from Myanmar. Somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 refugees from Mynamar live in camps near Mae Sot. A large international aid operation is active in this area and Mae Sot town hosts large number of foreign volunteers and NGO staff working to assist the refugees. As a consequence Mae Sot has lots of hotels, bars and guesthouses which cater to foreign visitors, making it a comfortable place for tourists to visit. Mae Sot also offers probably the best range of Burmese food available in Thailand and the markets sell lots and lots of Burmese handcraft items."}]
