🌾 “Pa Pong Piang – Rice terraces in the mountains, Chiang Mai

☔️ Pong Piang Forest is located in Ban Pa Pong Piang, a village of the Karen people in Ban Luang Subdistrict, Mae Chaem District, Chiang Mai Province. This area is famous for its rice terraces, some of the most beautiful in Thailand. This area is especially beautiful during the rainy season and early winter, when the rice fields turn lush and green, layered along the hillsides. 🌄 The Charm of Pong Piang Forest • The terraced rice fields look like a natural painting. • The local homestay offers a glimpse into the simple lifestyle. • The breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, with mist floating over the rice fields. • The tranquility, free from the distractions of the big city, makes for a truly relaxing getaway. 🕰️ Best Time to Visit • Rainy Season (July–September): Lush green rice fields. • Early Winter (October–November): The rice is turning golden brown and ready for harvest. • Winter (December–February): Even after the rice has been harvested, But you'll still get mountain views and a sea of ​​mist. 🚗 Getting there • From Chiang Mai City → Mae Chaem: Approximately 3–4 hours. • The road to the village is uphill.
