Solo Adventure in Chiang Mai: A Relaxing Getaway

I've been to Chiang Mai countless times, but this is my first solo trip.

This time, we are traveling on Vietjet Airlines at 9:50 AM.

Arrived at Chiang Mai Airport at 11:10 AM.

Initially, I intended to take a white bus, but after waiting for a while, this white car came instead.

The driver, Mr. Goong, offered us a special price of 100 baht and said he would take us directly to the Chang Phuak bus terminal.

With such excellent service, we decided to use them. If you are interested, you can contact them at 086-912-5775.

We arrived at Chang Phuak Bus Terminal just in time for the bus to depart.

The bus fare from Chiang Mai to Chiang Dao is 40 baht. Please tell the driver to drop you off at Chiang Dao Sign 2.

It takes about an hour and a half by car to get there.

To reach Chiang Dao Sign 2, head to Phee Ra Kaset shop and inform them that you are staying at Chiang Dara. A staff member will then escort you to your destination.

Pirakarn Agriculture Shop has two sides. We chose to tell you about this side because it is the same side where you got off the car.

We have arrived at Chiang Dara.

The accommodation provides a welcome drink, which is tamarind juice.

We had lunch at the accommodation, which offered both food and drinks at affordable prices.

The accommodation here costs 300 baht per person. We stayed alone, and the accommodation provided us with the whole house.

The room is equipped with a fan and mosquito net.

There is a balcony outside the accommodation, and the door on the right is the bathroom.

The accommodation includes an en-suite bathroom.

Opening the window by the headboard will provide a view as shown in the picture.

Opening the window at the end of the bed will provide a view as shown in this image.

This accommodation has only three houses. If you are interested in staying, please contact us at 082-605-9902.

Or inbox the page of Chiang Dara - Ban Tung Luk, Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province.

The front of the accommodation offers stunning sunset views.

Add some color to the sky.

After watching the sunset, we enjoyed a refreshing glass of butterfly pea and lemon juice.

The accommodation collects fresh butterfly pea flowers that are grown to be squeezed into a refreshing drink.

This evening, the accommodation invited us to have dinner together. It was my first time trying local cuisine, and it was absolutely delicious! The "nam phrik nam pu" chili dip was particularly outstanding.

The accommodation encourages guests to participate in preparing meals together, with one person fishing, another gathering vegetables, and another cooking.

We could only help wash the dishes for this meal. Next time we go, we will ask to try harvesting the fragrant black rice.

After dinner, Ms. Porn, the owner of the accommodation, invited us to watch the stars and the moon from the roof of her house.

Offering breathtaking 360-degree views.

The sky was filled with stars tonight, but the Milky Way was nowhere to be seen. It wasn't a new moon, so I guess that's why. It's a bit of a shame.

I intended to wake up to see the first light, but today the sky was overcast, so I only saw the morning mist instead.

This accommodation is surrounded by mountains, offering a refreshingly cool climate.

This cat, named "Pei," greeted us early in the morning.

The weather is very good this morning.

The view from the front of the accommodation is Doi Luang Chiang Dao.

The accommodation impressed me with its self-sufficiency, growing its own rice and long beans for consumption.

The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:

and freshly prepared food for customers to enjoy.

This morning, the accommodation prepared Khao Kan Jin, or Khao Niao, for us to eat. It is a local dish with a delicious taste.

We met a new friend named Pang. She was also traveling alone.

She gifted us a painting as a memento, and the friendship we forged along the way was truly beautiful.

For lunch today, we had khao soi or northern Thai curry noodle soup. This dish costs 20 baht.

The following is a translation of the Thai sentence "กินข้าวอิ่มแล้วเราก็มาเดินชมวิวรอบๆที่พัก" into English:

After we finished eating, we went for a walk around the accommodation to enjoy the view.

Pleasant atmosphere

After the rain stopped, we borrowed bicycles from the accommodation and rode around.

Rowing across the Ping River

Riding a bike to a nearby temple.

Stop by for a taste of Chiang Dao's Khao Kha Moo.

Honey lemon, a refreshing and sweet drink, is not available for sale but is made by the owner for personal consumption.

We expressed our desire to eat, and the owner kindly prepared it for us. This was yet another impressive experience.

A souvenir from Chiang Dao is a story told through a postcard.

After sending the postcard, I cycled back to my accommodation.

The following is a translation of the Thai text:

The butterflies and flowers in front of the accommodation are beautiful. Nature is always beautiful.

Kenji, the owner of the accommodation, played traditional music for us to enjoy.

This recording features the sound of the "phin pia," a musical instrument that Kenji claims to have made himself.

The back of the musical instrument was shaped like an elephant. We sat there gazing at it for a long time.

The staff at the accommodation were very friendly and welcoming, making guests feel right at home.

We chatted until Peuy fell asleep. He's a cat who can sleep all day long.

Before we left, we woke up Pei Pei, who smiled at us and went back to sleep.

The view is so captivating that I don't want to leave.

Kenji said he would take out the trash first and then pick me up at the bus stop to return to Chiang Mai city.

Everyone at the accommodation smiled and said goodbye before leaving.

We will definitely return here again. We are deeply impressed by the friendliness of everyone here.

Kenji took a commemorative photo before departing.

The atmosphere before leaving was delightful.

I wish I could stay another night.

Kenji dropped me off at the Chiang Dao bus station, where I waited for the bus to Chiang Mai.

The translation of "ได้ขึ้นรถเวลาประมาณ 17.30 น." is "Got on the train around 5:30 PM."

The return bus fare remains at 40 baht.

Enjoy the view on the way back.

Arrived at Chang Phuak Transport Terminal around 7 pm.

Tonight, we are staying at X2 Vibe Decem, which is located near Maya Shopping Mall and Nimmanhaemin Road.

The ambiance of the hotel's dining room.

Cool off with a dip before checking out.

Although the accommodation offers luggage storage, it is recommended to check in advance for availability.

For lunch today, we walked to a restaurant next to our accommodation, which serves noodles and papaya salad.

The journey began with a short walk from the accommodation to the Bikky motorbike rental branch on Huay Kaew Road, conveniently located nearby.

On our last night, we stayed at The Small Hotel, located near the Waroros Market.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a refreshing Welcome Drink. It was a delightful way to start our experience.

The bedroom features a large and comfortable bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

The bathroom will be separated from the shower area.

The shower room will be a shower stall.

After settling into our accommodation, we drove to pay respects at Doi Kham Temple.

After paying respects at Doi Kham Temple, we continued our journey to Wat Pha Lat.

This temple is very peaceful.

The temple also features a small waterfall.

The temple has a beverage shop that serves delicious drinks that complement the serene atmosphere.

We drove to Imagine House for dinner tonight.

I came here to listen to Boy Imagine sing.

The food and drinks here are very affordable. This dish is Lao steak.

This dish is a spicy and flavorful "Yum Imagine".

And then I heard Boy singing.

A memento from Boy, keeping his autograph on the shirt as a memory.

The joy of listening to Boy's live singing is indescribable. I'm sure I'll sleep soundly tonight.

We arrived back at our accommodation at midnight. We were staying on the mezzanine floor, and there was a reading nook outside our room.

The breakfast room is located on the top floor of the hotel.

The accommodation is within walking distance of Waroros Market.

Along the way, there are many local vendors selling their wares.

We bought souvenirs at Laa shop. We bought them because the seller was very kind. They let us try almost everything, and they even gave us discounts and freebies.

After finishing our souvenir shopping, we headed to the airport. We returned our rental car at the airport, where we saw a Bikky car rental booth.

Four days and three nights passed quickly - Welcome to "Chiang Mai".
