Ban Na Lao Mai, Chiang Dao, experience the community lifestyle in the middle of the mountains.
Ban Na Lao Mai, located in Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province, is a small village nestled amidst mountains and pristine nature, surrounded by the majestic Chiang Dao Mountain Range. This community is home to the Lahu hill tribe people, who maintain a traditional way of life in harmony with nature.
A highlight of a visit to Ban Na Lao Mai is witnessing the beautiful sunrise and sea of mist in the morning. The mist-covered, rugged mountain ranges create a tranquil and heartwarming atmosphere. Visitors can stay in the villagers' homestays, often simply constructed from bamboo and natural materials, offering cool breezes and unobstructed mountain views.
Activities within the village include nature walks, vegetable gardening, coffee harvesting, and cooking local cuisine with the homestay owners. Everything is filled with simplicity and warmth. The charm of this village lies not only in the beautiful nature, but also in the smiles and kindness of the villagers, who welcome visitors like family.
Ban Na Lao Mai is more than just a place to relax; it offers a slower, simpler, and more genuine experience. For those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city, this is one of the best options in Chiang Mai. #GetDiscountsWithoutRisk

Travel to Chiang Dao in the rainy season
#tripแจกโรงแรมเชียงใหม่ในเชียงใหม่ในฝน
Entering the rainy season, Chiang Dao is probably the place to go because it is lush, refreshing, and pleasing to the eyes with the lush green trees and tall mountains, along with the cool and comfortable air.
Entering the rainy season until the winter, every year we usually go to relax at Ban Na Lao Mai, sit and watch the view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao in front of us, living a still and slow life, without having to rush or compete with anything. It's so good for the heart.

"Ban Na Lao Mai" 🏘️
If talking about Chiang Dao, "Ban Na Lao Mai" 🏘️ is probably another village that I would like you to try to stay for a night. The highlight of this village is probably the view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, which is the closest. And at night, this village is quiet. The sky at night is very dark, allowing us to see the stars more clearly 🌌 Or sometimes, we can even take pictures of the Milky Way.
🌧️ The atmosphere in the village during the rainy season is not hot at all or sometimes when it rains all day, we may see a rainbow if the rain starts to stop, along with the fog that will occur all the time. As for the winter season here, it is another popular period because the weather is cool, the sky is clear during the day, even though the fog may not be as much as in the late rainy season, early winter 🧣 Or for those who have not booked accommodation, you can drive up to see the view. ☕️You can also stop by the local coffee shop upstairs and come down to rest downstairs.

If you don't want both meals, it's 500 baht per person. Breakfast is 600 baht per person. A set of pork barbecue is 500 baht. You only get pork belly. #ChiangMaiTravel

Ban Na Lao Mai – a small village in the middle of the mountains 🌾⛰️
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
Ban Na Lao Mai is a destination we highly recommend for those who enjoy a peaceful atmosphere amidst nature and a simple community lifestyle. Surrounded by mountains and rice fields, the view is lush and green, pleasing to the eye. The journey may take a winding route, but once you arrive, it's well worth it. We experienced the warmth of the locals and took time to slowly gaze at the morning mist, listening to the wind and birds. It was a truly relaxing experience. 🏡✨

Watch the fog in Chiang Mai🤍
Chiang Mai, a province in the north of Thailand. There are so many places to visit. If you really want to see them all, you have to go for several days. As for us, we choose to go to different places every time. 😃
This trip is for our family. We landed at Chiang Mai Airport and rented a van with a driver. We stopped to worship at Wat Phra Singh 🙏🏻, had lunch, and headed straight to Chiang Dao. In a short while, we arrived at the villagers' accommodation with a view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao. The weather was great. We woke up in the morning to beautiful fog. It was so awesome. It was a real break for our hearts. ⛅️☁️
After that, we went to Mae Taeng, which was not too far away. We stayed for 1 night on the banks of the Mae Taeng River. After that, we went back to sleep in Chiang Mai city. It was a relaxing trip that was not too crowded, perfect for families. 🤍

Chiang Dao - Sleep listening to the rain, watch the fog, draw pictures, paddle a boat
#Rainy season destination #Doi Luang Chiang Dao #Chiang Mai
Chiang Dao 2 days 1 night – Sleep listening to the rain, watching the fog, drawing, paddling
🏡 Accommodation
One night at Baan Aob-ob is enough to give your heart a rest. The owner is very lovely, cooking a delicious dinner amidst the sound of the rain, crickets, and the smell of the forest that is truly Chiang Dao.
🌄 Morning mist
Wake up early in the morning and travel to Ban Na Lao Mai to see the sea of fog and the shadow of Doi Luang Chiang Dao in the soft morning light. It is a beautiful image that is like a dream. (But you have to hope that it will not rain, or else the fog may be shy and not come out.)
☕ Recharge
On the way back, stop by Pronto Chiang Dao, a small, warm coffee shop, perfect for sitting and sipping coffee, drawing, or writing postcards to keep as memories.
🏄♂️ Stop by for some fun paddling
Before heading back to Chiang Mai, Robert recommends paddling SUP at 31 December Riverside. It is easy to paddle, no experience required, and there is also gentle rafting, just enough to get your heart excited. So much fun that I forgot the time!
✍️ Impression
It was a short trip filled with nature, the sound of rain, the smell of soil, and peace. It was the kind of slowness that we love and hope to come back again on a day when the sky is foggy and our hearts still miss Chiang Dao.

🌧️ “This rainy season… I want to escape to the mountain and sleep at Baan Rabiang Dao.”
Wake up with a light fog, surrounded by a 360° mountain view, like embracing nature all over the mountain 🍃
☕ Sip hot coffee on the balcony, listen to the birds chirping softly with the cool breeze blowing all morning
📸 Every angle is great for taking photos! No need to use a filter, it's super beautiful~
🧺 In the evening, grill pork amidst the fog, more awesome than a Korean series 💕
🛏️ Sleep comfortably under a warm blanket with stars all over the sky
A small house, but a million-dollar view...must come here once!
💸 Price
A few hundred baht, but a million-dollar view! Super worth it, perfect for both chillers, photographers, or couples who want to add some sweetness in a natural way 💕

Accommodation with a view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, very green and healing.
It is an accommodation with both tents and small houses.
The accommodation provides dinner and breakfast, which are delicious.
But there is very little mobile signal and no electricity.
In the morning, there is fog covering the area. I want to freeze time here.
Transportation 🚘
We rented a motorcycle to drive there. When we went, it was raining and there was a landslide.
The road is very steep and slippery.
You have to be very careful.
The staff is very good.
