Rai Ruean Rom is a farm located in Chiang Rai. It is about an hour and a half drive from the city. The way up to the farm is quite difficult. It is red dirt with dust. The distance is about 5 kilometers. When I got there, I wondered if I was on the right path. Because the road is really gravel. But when I saw the vegetable plot and the roof of the house, I felt a little better. This place is both a restaurant, a cafe and a place to stay. We went to eat only. The view from the restaurant is quite beautiful. You can see the mountains. There is nothing to block the view. The food here focuses on organic style. Almost everything is grown by themselves. The recommended menu is the vegetable and mushroom salad. It is really delicious. 📌 Rai Ruean Rom | A.

#VisitChiangRai Phu Chi Fa, a famous tourist attraction in Chiang Rai Province. Phu Chi Fa is part of Doi Pha Mon, 25 kilometers from Doi Pha Tang. It is a beautiful place to watch the sea of ​​mist and sunrise, along with a view of the mountains that are intricately wide like a painting. Tourists wake up since it is dark to walk up to the top of the mountain to wait for the sunrise. The image of a high mountain with golden sunlight shining in the early morning, especially in the winter when there is magnificent white fog below, makes Phu Chi Fa a tourist attraction that attracts tourists, especially those who love hiking and nature. Once in a lifetime, they must come to see this beautiful and enchanting image. There are 2 popular places for tourists to visit: the first is at the top of the mountain and the second is at the wide area before reaching the top. Along the way up and down, we will see young people wearing traditional tribal costumes standing to welcome us all the way. Some of them even sing and dance. We can't help but smile when we see them. Phu Chi Fa is in Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province. Tourists who come to watch the beautiful sunrise can pitch a tent to stay overnight by contacting the Phu Chi Fa Forest Park Office or the Thoeng District Tourist Service Center. In addition, nearby there are many types of accommodation and resorts available at various prices. You can book directly with the accommodation. #DaddyMomTakesYouTraveling #DaddyMomInvitesYouTraveling #LetsTravel #Phu Chi Fa #Chiang RaiTravel #NaturalAttractions #SunriseViewpoints #TheValueOfTravelIsNotMeasuredByDistanceButByHappiness
