... Hello everyone... It's nice to see you again. Hiw... How are you? Are you stressed from work lately? With the rain, floods, and traffic jams, have you tried taking some time to relax? I'm worried. I think many of you are familiar with and have seen pictures of homestays at Doi Luang Chiang Dao. The atmosphere there is amazing. I heard from a Facebook group that there is a new homestay with a stunning view. I saw the pictures and couldn't wait to go and experience it myself. I'm here to share my review with you all.

++ For more information about the trip, please visit https://www.facebook.com/thaibackpackhttps://www.facebook.com/Paiteawtammai ++

... Let's start before the trip. First of all, take yourself to Chiang Mai. Whether by bus, train, plane, or private car, it depends on your budget and convenience. As for those who are already in Chiang Mai, well (envy). I chose to go by bus. P.2 379 baht (cheap) 555 Departing from Mo Chit at 19.50, arriving in Chiang Mai around 7 am. Then take yourself to Chang Phuak Bus Station. You can hail a red car for about 40 baht or take a queue car for 20 baht. Chang Phuak Bus Station is not far away. If the red car doesn't take you around, lol. Here we are.

Then just walk in and look for the orange bus that says Chiang Mai-Tha Ton. It's easy to spot, and buses leave every half hour.

I found the car, but I can't get on yet. I need to buy a ticket first. It's nearby. Tell me to go to Chiang Dao, 40 baht.

Then you can do whatever you want. You can sleep, listen to music, or enjoy the view. The bus ride takes about 1.30 hours. You can get off at Lotus. I recommend you to eat something before you go. Or you can buy some snacks to eat on the way. But hurry up, or you might miss the bus. Otherwise, you will have to hire a car, which will cost you a lot.

If you're ready, walk a little further and you'll come to a four-way intersection. Look for a shop called Saeng Chan and turn right. You'll see a queue of cars going to Kong Muang. Ask the locals and they'll be happy to help you find a car to share with them. Basically, hitch a ride with a local. You can say you're going to Baan Rabeang Dao, everyone knows that area. Offer to contribute 50 baht for gas. The road up is quite steep, but it's in good condition.

Let's cut to the chase and get straight to the car. This trip, I went solo, but I made a new friend along the way. We sat in the back of the pickup truck, enjoying the fresh air and the view.

I saw this spot on the way back. The sea of fog here is so beautiful, but I couldn't stop because I was in someone else's car. T_T I felt bad.

It's about a half-hour walk to Baan Rabeang Dao. The house is right by the path, but the one I booked is a little further down the hill. It's not far, though.

Walk down the hill a bit and notice the left side as shown in the picture. It will be a path down to the Lisu village. Or you can walk past and ask at the Baan Sai Morakot. They are close to each other.

You can also call Nong Ta before going up. He is taking care of the place. The service and care are excellent. Then go to the accommodation. This place has just been open for 3 weeks. So it's very new ^^

There are soft beds and thick blankets. Don't think it's too thick. If it rains, it's really cold.

The room has a private bathroom. Please bring your own towel, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and toothbrush.

The day I went, it felt like I was the owner of the homestay. I stayed alone, haha. It was very quiet and peaceful. The sun would set behind the homestay, making the balcony in front very shady. There were mats to lay down on and sleep. The wind was cool and there was a table to eat or put things on.

The cool breeze made me fall asleep. T_T When I woke up, it was already evening, so I went for a walk to enjoy the view. They are all related, so you can walk around and enjoy the view anywhere.

Try going up to Baan Saimok. It's currently under renovation, but Nong Ta whispered that it will be open next month.

The light kept changing, caused by the sunlight filtering through the clouds. It was a joy to photograph.

I was so engrossed that I had to be told by Ta to eat. He had already prepared the meal at the guesthouse. It was just then that the rain started to fall, making the atmosphere even more pleasant. We enjoyed our meal amidst the pitter-patter of raindrops. Haha.

Dinner. I'm stuffed. I ate alone.

After a while, the rain stopped and the evening light appeared again.

Just a little bit, then the rain poured down again. I stayed to take pictures until about 7 pm. The sky started to get darker and darker. When I went there was no electricity yet. But now, Nong Ta is installing the electrical system. It will be more convenient, but I won't leave the lights on all day. I'll probably only turn them on at night because I really want everyone to get some rest. Let's end the first night with this picture. It's 8 pm. You can sleep, really charge your batteries, or come and sit on the balcony. There are electric lamps available. You can bring a mat to sleep on and watch the fireflies. It's quite enjoyable. But in my case, it's raining. Sleep.

... After a good night's sleep, I woke up with a start at midnight when the rain got heavier. I went back to sleep and woke up again at 5:30 am to the sound of my alarm clock. But the cool air and the soft sound of rain lulled me back to sleep until 6 am, when I finally had the presence of mind to get out of bed. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by a wall of rain and fog. 5555

How is it? Are you enjoying it?

The original text is in English, so no translation is needed.

After sipping the coffee that Ta had brought, they went out to enjoy the rain and fog. It didn't matter that they got wet, the atmosphere was perfect. 555

A lot of fog, right? The good thing about the rain is that it

Send me a video. I want to be with you. Listen to the sound of the rain. Look at the mist.

After taking photos until my heart's content, I returned to my room to find hot rice porridge waiting for me. I was just hungry enough, to be honest, it was the earliest breakfast I've ever had.

Steaming hot rice porridge

After breakfast, I had another cup of coffee. The MacBook is just a prop, haha.

Then we went out to take more photos. This photo was taken at 9:30 AM. The rain had stopped, but the fog was still coming in.

After soaking up the atmosphere, I asked the homestay kid to take me to the entrance of the road to wait for a ride back to Chiang Dao. It's the same place where we got off the bus on the way here.

After chatting with the locals for a bit, they helped me talk to the villagers who were going down to Chiang Dao. I was saved! I got a ride back. The people there are kind, you just have to be brave enough to talk to them and ask questions. ^^

And then a kind person took me to the rest stop. Thank you so much! I'm saved!

Okay, we're all set! You can wait for the bus back to Chiang Dao now. Go wait at the bus stop for southbound buses. Just ask before you get on, "Is this going to Chiang Mai?" If it is, hop on! It's 40 baht and a long ride.

... I still remember the atmosphere back then. Anyway, if you want to go, try calling Nong Ta at 091-724-7536. You can ask about the trip and everything. Oh, I forgot to mention, the accommodation fee is 500 baht/person + 2 meals (dinner-breakfast).

Thank you for following. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me. If you like it, please share it. Hello.
