Doi Luang Chiang Dao Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Ban Lisu, Doi Luang Chiang Dao✨
Homestay with stunning view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao✨⛰ Highly recommended for those who want to experience without hiking:)
Price: Available in tents and small huts with private bathrooms (no heater and towels available). We stayed in 6 persons hut at THB 4000 on Nov 2022 included breakfast and local dinner set). You can also ordered Moo Kra Tha (similar to hotpot for grilled pork mostly and soup).
To get there:
1. By driving not really recommended as it a hillside with small road.
2. Local Driver pick up from Chiang Dao town area (eg. bus terminal or park your car at post office). The price round trip less than THB 500 per person(can’t remember the price exactly but worth it) Very nice and friendly uncle:)
3. Red Car (รถแดง) from Chiang Mai
Sorry for my language but hopefully its help those who want to visit 🙏🏼☺️ IG: @Charat.pl

Enjoy the good vibes, sipping chrysanthemum tea while gazing at the sea of mist, you can sit all day long.
At night, camp out in the comfortable cool air.
The homestays in Chiang Dao are open periodically. It is recommended to book accommodation and check the dates before coming up, so you don't miss out. Once you arrive, immerse yourself in the atmosphere to the fullest.

THE CAMPIAN Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
THE CAMPIAN
When it comes to Chiang Mai, Chiang Dao is one of the first places that comes to mind that one must visit. Today, I decided to stay at THE CAMPIAN, an accommodation where you can fully view the scenic Doi Luang Chiang Dao. No matter where you look, the view of Doi Luang is truly beautiful. This time, I stayed in Gallery 1, a Nordic-style house that is decorated with a touch of minimalism. Inside, there is a reasonable amount of living space. I especially love the bathtub area because you can soak in it while enjoying the view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao in absolute bliss.
I think they've done a really great job here, particularly in how they've divided the space for each house to ensure privacy by separating them and also providing ample space around each house itself. Moreover, you can also take a leisurely stroll around the accommodation.
Surrounded by breezes: THE CAMPIAN
Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you some of the most beautiful Instagram-worthy spots in Chiang Mai!

If you love art and culture, then the Chiang Mai Art and Culture Center is an absolute must-visit place.

Thousands of accommodations, millions of views, Doi Luang, Chiang Mai!
🏞️🏕️ #LuxuryAccommodationWithAMillionDollarView #ChomViewDoiLuangChiangDao 🏔️ THE CAMPIAN
🏔️🏠 When it comes to accommodation in Chiang Mai, where do you think of first? For us, the most beautiful mountain view in Chiang Mai is definitely the view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, and it's probably impossible to find a better view than at 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐀𝐍 🍃⛅️
🏕️✨ We stayed at 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲, a newly opened Nordic-style house with Japanese-inspired decoration and a touch of minimalism. It's a perfect blend of styles, and we loved every corner of the house. The balcony with a breathtaking view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao was especially warm and inviting 🌿😍
🧳🤎 But it's not just this style of room available here. There are various types of rooms to choose from, and every room faces Doi Luang Chiang Dao 🏠🏔️
🥓🥩 For dinner, they have a hot pot available, and we asked the staff to serve it on the balcony. It was an impressive meal, sitting and watching the sunset behind Doi Luang Chiang Dao, and then stargazing under the night sky. It was a beautiful and delicious meal 💖👩❤️💋👨
