Hello... I'm here to greet you again.
For the end of the rainy season that is about to pass, welcome to the beginning of the winter season.
If there is a review, what is it about? If not about Thai tourism style "Brother Bear will be a Hipster"
"Chiang Mai Chiang Mai Chiang Mai"
"Chiang Mai Chiang Mai Chiang Mai"
"Chiang Mai Chiang Mai Chiang Mai"
This province is not only good in terms of large area. But what is good about tourism in Chiang Mai to finish everything, every place
It's difficult. Because I've collected it many times, but it's not complete yet.



Let's get started! This trip we plan to go for 4 days and 3 nights. Where to? Chiang Mai! My friend wants to relax, what are we waiting for? It's an order... so let's take a vacation! Who planned it? Me, of course, who else?



The first step is to book your flight tickets. We prioritize booking flights before requesting leave days because we are more concerned with the price than with convenient dates and times. We aim for a mid-range price that is not too inconvenient. The round-trip Air Asia flight to Chiang Mai costs 1,200 baht per person.



DAY 1



Off-topic question: Have you ever seen a post asking why people take pictures of airplane wings? Well, it's because you can't walk to the wing and take a picture of the fuselage, right?



Our travel period is September 26-29, 2016. This period is good because the accommodation prices are still low. When you go to the north, after October 1st, you will find that the accommodation prices have increased by more than 30%. As I said, when you travel with me, think about the price first!



After a short flight, we arrived at Chiang Mai International Airport at noon. We had pre-arranged a car rental and opted for a Honda Click i125cc with alloy wheels. The rental cost was 300 baht per day, totaling 900 baht for 3 days. Airport pick-up and drop-off was 100 baht, with a 75 baht discount for website members (25 baht/day/vehicle). As usual, we used Bikky for our car rental.

Note: Phone numbers and additional information have been omitted as per your instructions.



The first night's accommodation was at Veerasak Homestay in Ban Pa Bong Piang, Mae Chaem District, Chiang Mai Province.
Before the trip, my friend told me that "she wanted to go to the Bo Kaew Pine Forest."
She didn't just want to go, her pleading sentence meant "an order."



Our route follows Highway 108 through Hang Dong and Chom Thong districts. We haven't turned towards Doi Inthanon yet. We're heading to Hod district. This route is incredibly scenic, and the views along the way are truly remarkable.



Found it! Found it!
"Borkiew Lake Pine Forest"

The rain showed no signs of stopping during our journey.
As soon as we arrived at the Bo Kaeo Pine Forest, it began to pour heavily.
One must-see attraction along this route is the Thepphanom Hot Spring, located just before the Bo Kaeo Pine Forest.
Even from the road, its beauty is evident. It's worth noting that it's not crowded.
However, we missed our chance to visit. We intended to stop on our way back, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time.
It was already 5 pm by then.



We aimed to reach Ban Pa Bong Bieng before dusk, but we spent too much time relaxing. The route between Bo Kaeo Pine Forest and Ban Pa Bong Bieng requires backtracking for about 16 kilometers. If I recall correctly, we got lost and drove towards Mae Sariang for about 3-4 kilometers. Fortunately, we checked Google Maps before continuing (we actually had doubts earlier, but we waited for a network signal).



After turning right onto Highway 1088, you will reach Mae Chaem District.
Once you arrive in Mae Chaem, you may find yourself a bit lost.
Asking for directions from Mr. Wirasak only led to further confusion.

To simplify, continue driving until you reach the Mae Hong Son Public Health Office, which has a 7-Eleven next to it. Turn towards Mae Hog Waterfall.
From this point on, you will need to ask for directions frequently. You will pass through the Ban Tor Reu village and reach Ban Tung Yao village.
Stop and ask for directions here. I couldn't help but wonder why there weren't any signs.
When I called for directions, I was told to follow the signs for Inthanon Wittaya School.
My advice is to avoid guessing and ask the locals for directions.



After an hour, I passed the Catholic village and still couldn't see a way forward. Luckily, a villager drove by, and I asked for directions. I requested their help to guide me, and in return, I offered a small token of appreciation. The villager then led the way.



Tonight, we will be staying at Baan Rabiaw Dao, where Mr. Wirasak will welcome us with a large pinto and drinks.
500 baht/person/night, including 2 meals.



Waking up to a cool morning with a thin layer of mist hovering behind the distant mountain.



The rice paddies were starting to bear fruit when we visited.

For those who enjoy the color yellow, the golden mountain scenery is expected to be in full bloom in about two months.


This is the house where we are staying. The house is big.

P.S. Sorry for the unattractiveness. Our clothes are wet, so we need to dry them for a while.



This is a small house.



And then it's time to say goodbye to Ban Pa Bong Piang.



Day 2



The journey starts from Ban Pa Bong Piang, heading to Mae Kampong Village, with an overnight stay at the Royal Project Thung Tueng. On the way back, we will take the Mae Chaem - Doi Inthanon - Chom Thong - San Pa Tong - Mae On - San Kamphaeng Hot Spring route. We started our journey around 10:30 AM. We stopped by Doi Inthanon for a while. We originally planned to visit Kew Mae Pan, but it was closed. We knew this beforehand, but we decided to drive up to experience the atmosphere. It was quite cold up there, around 17 degrees Celsius, which made our hands numb. I can't imagine how cold it must be during the winter season.



Note: It saddens me when I travel to distant places and witness people expressing their love in inappropriate locations.


Let's take care of it together, okay? Don't destroy nature. (Who wants to see the AIW fan? Haha)



The distance from Mae On district to San Kamphaeng Hot Spring is approximately 5 kilometers. Turn left at the intersection onto Highway 4041. The scenery here is beautiful, but it can get crowded. Compared to passing through the Theppanom Hot Spring, I would recommend Theppanom instead.



The first step was to purchase fresh eggs, which we obtained at a price of 3 eggs for 20 baht.


The sauce, based on the taste test, is likely Maggie brand. It tastes good.

While waiting for the eggs to cook, we went to do hydrotherapy, soaking our feet in the meantime.

We soaked the eggs for about 15 minutes, waiting for the feet to cook… Feet to cook… Feet to cook… Oops, I mean waiting for the eggs to cook!

The eggs are cooked, so we can eat them around here.

Okay, tonight we're staying at the Royal Project Teentok, where a room costs 1,500 baht. On October 1st, it wasn't this price.

The room was excellent, very clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. Additionally, it had emergency lights, demonstrating a focus on safety.

Rooms with a stream view. If you enjoy listening to the natural sound of flowing water, this is another interesting room to consider.

Inside the room


Tonight, we had dinner at the Royal Project Restaurant in Ton Tok. The food here is delicious.


The kitchen here closes at 7pm. The total cost is around 500-600 baht.



DAY 3



Start your morning by breathing in the fresh air of Mae Kampong Village.

Mae Kampong Waterfall


The Heart Ant Cafe is open from 8:30 AM. Closing time is uncertain, either 3:30 PM or 5:00 PM.


Driving through Pok Village. Hmm... We think this village is pretty cool. Roads, mountains, village.

It looks good, I like it. I like it, I like it, I like it, right?



The damage at The Giant is estimated to be around 300 baht. The road leading up to the store is quite steep, so please drive carefully.


We checked out of our room and continued our journey to Mon Cham to see the purple flowers that we missed on our previous visit.



Is Mon Cham enough for another 600 characters?



We stayed at Baan Wanya, where the room rate was 1,590 baht with breakfast included. The rooms here have beautiful views.

For more details about the room, please refer to my previous post.



The left side is the cave house.

We went to find Mon Cham in the evening. ^_____^ We had been to Mon Cham before and said that Mon Cham was not as bright as its name suggests.



This time we are determined to come to Mon Cham to see the purple flowers.



Today we met him. Purple came in, but green disappeared. Haha.



"Mon Cham" boasts a stunning array of flowers, rivaling any other destination.

The view is still beautiful.



In our opinion, she is still beautiful.


We had dinner at Mon Ing Dao, which offered beautiful views and delicious food. The cost was around 300 baht.



DAY 4



Is there anything else I can help you with?

On the last day, we chose to wake up a little late, because of course, what awaited us was a workday.

A day of relaxation to refresh yourself as much as possible.

Enjoyed a breakfast of rice porridge from Baan Wanya before heading back to Bangkok.

Breakfast area view



The final stop is the view from Baan Wanya, [Spoil] Click to view hidden text which is a new accommodation option for those visiting Mon Cham.


While the experience had its positive aspects, there were also areas for improvement. If the accommodation is open to feedback, here are some suggestions for consideration.

Feel free to reach out to us via inbox, we are ready to chat.



It is said that everyone who comes here must take a picture with this spot!! Polished concrete.


Okay, here is the translation of the sentence:

"Now we've reached the part that everyone's been curious about."


Approximate cost



Round-trip airfare 2,400 baht

The cost of the room for Veerasak is 1,000 baht.

The cost of accommodation at the Royal Project Teentok is 1,500 baht.

The cost of a room at Baan Wanya is 1,590 baht.

The car rental fee is 925 baht.

Fuel cost for 3 nights and 4 days: 350 baht.

The cost of souvenirs and food is 2,235 baht.



Split 5,000 baht between 2 people. This time, no one got any money back. 5555+



Note: For those who think the cost is high, I agree that it is. However, we need to find ways to manage it.

The elder brother chose to plan, taking a reasonable amount of time, starting with booking tickets, then booking accommodation as time went on, gradually booking and paying.

At the start of the trip, you will need to pay an additional, small amount. It will be similar to this time, where you paid an extra 2,000 baht on the actual travel date.

As you can see, with proper planning, we can travel successfully.



This thread will likely remain dormant for some time, as I will not embark on a new journey until after my 25th birthday, which is two years from now. Until then, feel free to send me a private message or leave a comment with any questions you may have. I will respond as soon as I am able. In the meantime, I would like to leave you with a lingering thought regarding the color television conflict. (This has been a source of great frustration for me, but there is nothing I can do about it.)



Goodbye
