Doolaylay (Baan Doi) Chiang Mai
We had the opportunity to go on a relaxing trip after being sick and staying home for a long time.
Doolaylay, the house of nostalgia, 2 nights 3 days
- SUP Board activity at Wat Chan Pine Forest
- Singing and storytelling around the campfire, and pickled plums
- Leisure time
- Viewing lush green fields
- Stargazing
With an environment perfect for relaxation, leave your burdens behind and gain experiences from people you meet for the first time. Exchange life stories, release your worries through storytelling without judging each other. It brings comfort, even if temporary, but believe me, it will lighten your load, and you will find a way out of every problem.

The 'Ray-Ban Temple' in Galyani Vadhana
The 'Ray-Ban Temple' in Galyani Vadhana, also known as 'Black Glasses Temple' or 'Wat Chan', is located in Ban Chan, Galyani Vadhana District, Chiang Mai Province. It is a small temple nestled among mountains and pine forests.
The reason it's called 'Ray-Ban Temple' is because the ordination hall has two large openings designed to let sunlight into the hall. These openings resemble eyes, and black glass has been installed, making it look like the hall is wearing sunglasses. Tourists who saw this started calling it 'Ray-Ban Temple' as a playful nickname.
Galyani Vadhana District is quite remote, about 150 kilometers from Chiang Mai city center, taking around 3-4 hours to travel. For those who want to experience natural surroundings, this place is highly recommended as it is very peaceful.
