Some foreign visitors do still come to Mae Sot, however, as it\u2019s where you need to go to travel onward to Umphang. Umphang is a wild and mountainous province with several fantastic national parks and arguably Thailand\u2019s most impressive waterfall, Thi Lo Su Waterfall. Shared taxis to Umphang depart from the bus station in Mae Sot. The journey takes around 5 hours to travel the 190 km from Mae Sot to Umphang along the notoriously windy Highway 1090 which in former times was known as the \u2018Death Highway\u2019 because of the risk of travellers being attacked by the various armed groups which used to control that part of Thailand."}]
