Mae Kampong Village

Mae Kampong is a small village nestled amidst the mountains of Chiang Mai province, exuding charm and the romantic essence of nature while preserving the old-town lifestyle. With its traditional Lanna rural atmosphere, Mae Kampong has become a dream destination for slow-life travelers seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of big cities and rejuvenate in serene tranquility. This small village, located at an altitude of approximately 1,300 meters above sea level, is surrounded by lush forests and cooled by large trees and a stream flowing through the village. Most villagers migrated from Doi Saket district over 100 years ago and are engaged in tea farming and coffee cultivation. The name "Mae Kampong" originates from the Kampong flower that grows along the village's streams. With the concept of sustainable community-based tourism, various facilities have been developed, including private and modern homestays built along the hillside, blending seamlessly with nature. A bridge crosses the stream, connecting to a small street food area offering local and made-to-order dishes, as well as coffee shops, bakeries, and galleries, which are popular photo spots. The village also features the Mae Kampong Waterfall, a seven-tiered waterfall with some levels safe for swimming, located 1.2 kilometers from the village. There are also hiking trails leading to scenic views atop Doi Mon Laan and activities in the tea plantations. Within the village, you'll find Wat Mae Kampong, also known as Wat Kantha Phreuksa, built in 1930. The temple's viharn is made of intricately carved golden teak wood, with a moss-covered teak roof, and features a unique water-based ordination hall, one of only two in Chiang Mai. Getting there: From Chiang Mai city, head towards Chang Phueak and Warorot Market, then take Route 118 (Chiang Mai–Doi Saket Road) and turn right at Pong Din intersection. The distance is 51 kilometers.
