📍Viewpoint Km.12 or Doi Tung Viewpoint Km.12 is located in Mae Fah Luang Subdistrict, Mae Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai Province.

#folkactivities #100waysoftravel #thailand #chiangrai #longneckkaren Our visit to the Long Neck Karen village in Chiang Rai was a fascinating immersion into the rich traditions and folk activities of this unique community. The village is renowned for its women who wear brass coils around their necks, a cultural practice passed down through generations as a symbol of beauty and identity. As we explored the village, we had the chance to see their traditional weaving techniques, where vibrant fabrics are crafted by hand on wooden looms. The villagers welcomed us warmly, showcasing their craftsmanship and sharing stories about their way of life, deeply connected to nature and heritage. It was a rare opportunity to witness the authentic customs and artistry that define the Long Neck Karen culture.

Rai Chawang Put Tan, a secret accommodation on Doi Mae Salong, Chiang Rai Province, which I really want to praise this place. It is a tourist attraction in Chiang Rai that is not very well-known, but it is beautiful and has a good price that I want to review for everyone. At Rai Chawang Put Tan, there are both a cafe and accommodation. If you are not comfortable staying here, you can just come and visit the cafe here. This place is decorated in a Chinese style. You can walk and take pictures from every corner. You can lift your camera to any corner and it will be beautiful. But if anyone has more time, I would like to recommend you to come and rest, enjoy nature, and the quiet atmosphere here. It is really great. 📌You can book a room on the Facebook page: Rai Chawang Put Tan Wang Put Tan Tea Plantation and click on the website to book a room on the Bio page. 📌Room review The room we booked was a glamping room 1 for 3,900 baht / night / 2 people. For this price, we will get a set of breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner. You can choose between a barbecue set or local food served as a khantoke. I must say that the price is very worthwhile because the food they serve each meal is very generous and delicious. But another thing that impressed me the most was the tea served with the Afternoon tea set. It was so fragrant that I had to ask the staff what kind of tea it was. It was dewdrop tea. But the dewdrop tea here is so fragrant that I had to buy some to take home. The rooms here are like houses, but there are no walls on the sides or back. There is only a wall at the door. When you open the door, you will see a tent inside and a bathroom. It is decorated cutely, clean, and has a nice jasmine scent. 📌Getting here is on Doi Mae Salong. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from the city. It is quite high up on the mountain. The road is not difficult, but there are a lot of curves. We drove a Mazda 2 up, so it was easy. We could go up easily. ⭐️Satisfaction: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: 100 out of 10. I like this place a lot. Everything is good. The atmosphere, the view, the food, the atmosphere is good, taking pictures is beautiful, and the price is cheap. Actually, the price of 3,900 may not seem very cheap, but when compared to what you get, breakfast, dinner, and the Afternoon tea set, you pay once and you are done. There are no other costs. So I feel that it is very worthwhile. Because normally, going up the mountain to order a set of grilled pork costs at least 400-500 baht. Some places I've been to cost 1,000 baht. So I feel that this price is the best value. But if I have to talk about the disadvantages of this place, it would be the transportation. This place is quite high up and has a lot of curves. Anyone who gets carsick, I'm telling you that you probably won't survive. But I personally don't get carsick, so I don't have this problem. It's a comfortable ride. Or if anyone feels that even if they get carsick, they can handle it!!! Come on, it's so impressive. #tripfreeaccommodation #travelchiangrai #chiangrai #chiangraiaccommodation

A very warm coffee shop. The shop has 2 floors decorated with wood and local costumes. But what catches the eye is the coffee roaster in front of the shop. Along with the fragrant smell of coffee and the menu that has quite a lot to choose from. You can also choose the roasting level of the beans, light, medium, dark, all levels. The coffee here tastes good. Recommended menu You have to ask the staff because the shop will recommend the menu that suits you the best.

#Thailand #Chiang Rai #Mae Salong Mae Salong is located on the mountain in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. It is inhabited by descendants of Chinese and local ethnic minorities. It is a village with multiple cultures. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the people are also kind and warm. I must come here for vacation every year to calm my soul🫶🏻

… Coincidentally, I walked from my accommodation and came across a tea plantation. Wow, it was so beautiful!!! When I walked in, it felt like I was in a completely different place from the outside… A beautiful cafe in the middle of a tea plantation on Doi Mae Salong, decorated in a Chinese style. The atmosphere is surrounded by alternating mountain views. You can see the lush green scenery that is so relaxing to the eyes and mind. It is not a very big shop, but it is well decorated. There are beautiful photo spots. The seating area is private. I came in the evening when the shop was about to close. There were few people, so it was very chill. The air in the evening is so nice!!! I like everything about it. And since I didn’t bring any money, I only got to try the green tea rolls by borrowing money from my sister. Sob! Delicious, beautiful view, fresh air, impressive 💓 Here, they also have a secret accommodation in the style of glamping. There are only 5 houses. *I personally didn’t stay there, so I didn’t take any pictures, but I secretly thought it was great. Try searching for more information. 📌 Rai Chawang Phuttal 📍 Village 12, Mae Salong Nok Subdistrict, Mae Fah Luang, Chiang Rai Province 57110 ⏰ Open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. #CafeReview #NatureAttractions #RaiChawangPhuttal #TeaPlantChiangRai #ChiangRaiTravel #ChiangRaiAccommodation #DoiMaesalong

The Phra Borommathat was completed around 1996 to offer merit to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. It is located on the highest peak of Mae Salong. You can see the beauty of the Phra Borommathat from afar. It is another symbol of Doi Mae Salong. I recommend coming up in the evening. The view is very good. You can see the view as far as the eye can see. You can see the entire Doi Mae Salong community. You can also watch the sunset. You can drive up, but the road is quite steep. However, the road is good (last picture). You need to be skilled and drive carefully. There is parking for about 7-8 cars. In the evening, there are not many people. When we came, there were only 3 cars parked. For those who have only driven on straight roads, I do not recommend driving up. I recommend walking up the stairs from Wat Santikiri. #NatureAttractions #VisitChiangRai #DoiMaesalong #WatSantikiri #VisitDoiMaesalong

#BeautifulAccommodationReview If you are traveling to Chiang Rai and want to sleep on a mountain that is not far from the city, this is the place to go. #DoiMaeSalong When I went, it was the end of September. The weather was starting to get cool and comfortable. There was some fog. This time, Wan went up the mountain to sleep at Phumektawan Resort - Phumektawan Resort (I have stayed here twice). The rooms here are divided into 3 main zones: Superior rooms, Standard rooms, and the room that Wan stayed in, a bungalow suite (which is a house). There is air conditioning, a TV, a water heater. You can walk out to the balcony with a wide view of the mountains and tea plantations. The accommodation has a cafe and a restaurant serving Yunnan Chinese food on the top floor. You can sit here and enjoy a 180-degree view without anything blocking your view. The air is even better in the evening. When you come to Mae Salong, you have to eat Yunnan Chinese food. This place is very famous. The menu that Wan ate is the recommended menu here. - Yunnan pork leg, steamed buns - Dew pork (available only during the winter) - Stir-fried sweet bitter melon shoots - Stir-fried cabbage with fish sauce - Tuna tea leaf salad - Shiitake mushrooms in oyster sauce In addition to Yunnan Chinese food, another thing that you shouldn't miss is #tea tasting because Mae Salong is famous for its tea plantations. This is another accommodation with a great view, delicious food, and a lot of rooms. If anyone is looking for accommodation on Doi Mae Salong, I recommend it. __________________ 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗧 📌 Location: Doi Mae Salong Nok, Mae Chan, Chiang Rai #tripzeed #accommodation review #Phumektawanresort #Phumektawanresort #Doi Mae Salong accommodation #Chiang Rai accommodation #Accommodation on the mountain #Visit Chiang Rai #Chiang Rai attractions #Mae Salong #Doi Mae Salong #Chiang Rai

#VisitChiangRai Mae Fah Luang Arboretum Mae Fah Luang Arboretum has collected native plants from the North and rare forest plants. Many kinds of flowers are beautifully arranged. Both flowers and ornamental plants are beautifully decorated. They change every season without repeating. Tourists can visit all year round. It can be said that each season you come will definitely see the difference. If you come to Doi Tung, set aside some time to walk and watch birds and flowers at the arboretum. You will not be disappointed.

Introducing a very feel-good accommodation: Rai Chawang Phuttal, Chiang Rai Province. It is an accommodation that is fully equipped and pays attention to every detail. The bed is comfortable to sleep in. It is a dream come true for those who want to sleep in a tent but are worried about the bathroom because the accommodation has a private bathroom. You can see the fog in the evening and wake up to the fresh air in the morning. It is very worthwhile. You can order dinner from the accommodation. The taste is unique to northerners. The taste is not too spicy. There is a lot of breakfast and it is delicious. I must say that this accommodation has beautiful photo spots. You can sleep and breathe in the fresh air. ✨ 📌Rai Chawang Phuttal #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation #goodatmosphereaccommodation #accommodationwithmillionsview #Chiangrai #accommodationreview

#VisitChiangRai Chiang Rai has many mountains to choose from. One mountain worth visiting is Doi Mae Salong, famous for its tea and Chinese food. There are homestays and accommodations to visit. In addition, there are activities such as the Mae Salong Trail Run, where runners want to come and enjoy the atmosphere. There are pagodas, Chinese communities, coffee shops, or you can come and stay to enjoy the beautiful view amidst the tea plantations, sip cheap local tea, and eat famous Chinese food. In the community, there are 7-11, markets, and shops. You must try staying in Mae Salong at least once. The journey is not difficult. You can go up via Kiew Sai Tai, Mae Chan, and then go down via Mae Sai, and then stop by to shop at the Mae Sai checkpoint. It is worth it and does not waste your time.

Mae Fah Luang Garden, Doi Tung, Chiang Rai Province If you go to Chiang Rai, you must not miss stopping by here, "Mae Fah Luang Garden". The weather here is very good. #Beautiful flowers everywhere, so much so that you don't know where to take pictures. It was so much fun walking until you forgot how tired you were. The weather is starting to get cold now, making the flowers and the atmosphere even better than before. If any of my friends have the chance to go to Chiang Rai, don't forget it. If you miss it, you'll regret it. 😀😃😄😁😆😉#VisitChiangRai #MaeFahLuangGarden How to get there - Drive Tourist attractions - Mae Fah Luang Garden Hotel - Phufa Wari Chiang Rai Resort Restaurant and food - Lilawadi Chiang Rai Shopping - Chiang Rai Mae Sai Market

Phra That Santi Kiri or the full name Phra Borommathat Chedi Si Nakharinthra Sathit Maha Santikiri is located on the top of Doi Mae Salong, Mae Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai Province. When you have the opportunity to visit Doi Mae Salong, in addition to the tea plantations, Yunnan Chinese villages, hill tribes, Sun Phon Phluan, and Ban Khun Sa, don't forget to stop by the highest point of Doi Mae Salong. You can drive up there, but be extra careful because the road is quite steep. And walk up from Wat Santi Kiri, exercise up the 700 Naga steps to pay homage to the relics of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and see the viewpoint where you can see the entire Santikiri village, which is very refreshing and beautiful. Especially if you go up in the evening to watch the sunset, the atmosphere is beyond words. The weather is cool and comfortable almost all year round. #Doi Mae Salong #Travel around Thailand #Chiang Rai #Wat Santi Kiri #Visit Chiang Rai #thailand#travel

#Rainy season attractions 📌 101 Tea Plantation, Mae Salong Nok Subdistrict, Mae Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai Province 101 Tea Plantation is a very large tea plantation, planted in terraces. It is located before reaching Doi Mae Salong. You can visit the tea plantation for free and take pictures, but you are not allowed to pick the tea leaves. Inside the tea plantation, there is a souvenir shop, free tea products to taste, and explanations and demonstrations of the correct way to brew tea. There are also accommodations and a Thai-Yunnan Chinese restaurant. How to get there: Drive from Mueang Chiang Rai District, heading towards Doi Mae Salong. It takes about 1 hour. The road is steep and curved, so you have to be careful while driving. However, the view on both sides of the road is very beautiful, full of lush green tea plantations.

When thinking of the rainy season, you can't escape the mountains and hills that are important tourist attractions. There are many places for you to visit and sleep while watching the sea of ​​fog. ⛰ And today, we have a famous mountain to recommend, "Doi Mae Salong", which I must say is beautiful in terms of views, food, and culture. If you still don't know where to go, we recommend this place! . This is Tea Plantation 101. This tea plantation also has accommodations. It's so beautiful! The atmosphere is also great. At that time, the price of the accommodation, if I remember correctly, was 2,000 baht/1 night with breakfast. . Doi Mae Salong is a mountain famous for its tea leaves. The accommodations have freshly extracted tea leaves for you to try and buy as souvenirs. . To travel up to Doi Mae Salong, I must say that you have to be a fairly good driver. The road is very narrow. My heart sank the whole way. The way up is also quite steep. I recommend that you help each other look at the route and turn on GPS the entire way up the mountain for safety. #เที่ยวเชียงราย #willbe30years #ดอยแม่ซาลงเชียงราย #เที่ยวเมืองดิน
