"Pong Piang Forest: More Than Just Rice Terraces"

Embark on a journey to "Ban Pa Pong Piang" in Mae Chaem District, Chiang Mai, Thailand, during the rainy season. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of rice terraces, renowned as one of the most stunning in the country. 🌾🌾 〰Beyond the captivating rice terraces, this village offers a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life. Embrace the tranquility of nature in its purest form, leaving you in awe of its existence. Witness the mesmerizing spectacle of a sea of mist upon waking, verdant rice terraces, and breathtaking sunsets, all in one idyllic location. 〰🚶🏻‍

As we walk along the paddy field bunds, descending the slopes of the hills, we are enveloped by the vast expanse of rice fields. In the distance, mountains rise like a majestic backdrop. The atmosphere is akin to stepping into a picturesque painting.

Day trips are popular among visitors to Pa Pong Piang due to the limited availability and high demand for homestays. These homestays offer a unique opportunity to experience local life, savor authentic cuisine, and immerse oneself in nature. The absence of electricity and reliance on natural light and candles, along with the use of water from streams, create an authentic and rustic experience.

This trip includes an overnight stay at Weerasak Homestay for 500 baht per person, including breakfast and dinner.

🚙 Access to Pa Pong Piang Forest is restricted to 4WD vehicles or motorcycles due to the challenging road conditions. The route is characterized by potholes and mud, making it unsuitable for smaller cars. Visitors can opt to hire local transportation or arrange for the guesthouse owner to provide pick-up services. **Parking is available at the "Huai Sai Liang Waterfall".** 〰

The tourist season of Pa Pong Piang Forest is divided into 3 periods.

▪️ July-August is the rice planting season, when the rice seedlings are still young and the fields are flooded with water. This period is popular with photographers because it allows for stunning reflections in the water.

▪️ September-October is the most beautiful time for rice fields, as they are lush and green across the entire paddy.

▪️In late October, those who wish to see golden rice paddies should visit during this period. 〰

For those who prefer a different style, find some time to go out and breathe in the fresh air, and you will discover that

"Rainy season... who says it's not worth traveling? It depends more on where you choose to go." 〰

You can travel, so can we.
