An invitation to stay here was a Children's Day gift for our family's cool kid. Having visited here at the end of last year, in October… we were deeply impressed by the mini-Japanese atmosphere, the sound of bamboo swaying in the wind, the long, Zen-like path, the green spaces, the embracing nature, and so much more that we couldn't forget. We longed to return again, this time as… overnight travelers.

On a busy Saturday afternoon during Children's Day, traffic was heavily congested throughout Chiang Mai. The author, seeking respite from the heat (which was surprisingly cool for Children's Day, as the previously warm weather had taken a sudden turn towards the cold), decided to escape the city's chaos. They drove from the bustling city center onto Highway 1096, taking a left turn at the new intersection towards Pai. The anticipation of their destination filled them with a sense of contentment.

By the time we parked the car and reached our destination, it was late afternoon, around 4:00 pm. On that day, the temperature was 17 degrees Celsius, and the air was cool and crisp. As the sun began to set, the temperature dropped even further, making the visit feel even colder. The lack of sunshine, the abundance of trees, and the fresh air outside the city all contributed to the chilly atmosphere.

We checked in and paid a 300 baht key deposit. The staff then took us to Pavin Lienne 2. We followed him.

The sky is hazy, so the images will be a bit blurry and cloudy.

The accommodation has 4 types of rooms in total, with 4 buildings and 12 rooms. There are multiple rates available.

The pavilion has 4 units, each priced at 1,000 baht.

The "Counting Stars" room has 6 rooms available at a price of 800 baht per room.

Beautiful wooden house with 4 rooms, 800 baht per room.

Wooden barn-style house with 2 rooms, 500 baht per room.

The room is a pavilion style, as the name suggests. It stands out with its simple and solemn use of color, but the chic high ceiling makes it feel airy and comfortable. The rule of simplicity is broken by the colorful glass used to decorate the ceiling.





A small balcony extends to the back, offering a view of the bamboo forest tunnel, the swimming pool, and the heart-shaped island, a symbol of love here.

The man is lost in thought, perhaps captivated by the serene view from his bedroom window. The stillness and tranquility of the scene seem to hold him in a state of quiet contemplation.

Let's take a look at the bathroom. It's **very spacious**.

They like his small, few windows.

After a long break, our little adventurer is ready to explore again. Yes, indeed...

The verdant board beckons us to embark on a quest, each seeking something unique through our distinct perspectives.

Our resting place, the author's gaze drifted out to the field, the field that was once a rice paddy at the end of October, now turned into a bean field. Rotating, changing, cycling, just like that for some reason, isn't it?

If the canal had not been there, I would have been able to walk in the rice fields.

Look away from the (bean) field.

The owner's vision for this location is to create the longest bamboo tunnel in Chiang Mai. The tunnel is still under construction, but it promises to be a stunning sight once completed.

Did you see a bird?

This time, our visit to the bamboo forest did not start at the tunnel as before. Instead, we walked back from the back, resulting in a different and refreshing perspective. This new angle revealed the dedication of the creators, the caretakers, and the perspective of those who observe visitors. It brought me joy (a secret smile).

Bamboo takes a long time to mature.

Behind the resort, the staff informed the owner that they had expanded the Japanese bamboo plantation by another 5 rai. How delightful!


Japanese bamboo awaits its growth, alongside the ever-flowing stream.

This will also serve as a water source for bamboo during the dry season.

If you are tired, walk into the bamboo forest.

It has a bit of a bamboo forest song vibe.

Based on a survey of Japanese bamboo shoots awaiting growth behind the resort.

We're heading back now. It's getting cold, dusk is approaching, and there's a hint of romance in the air.

As dusk approached, the light began to fade, and we hurried out of the bamboo forest.

Walking back to the front entrance, the bright red torii gate still stood proudly, unchanged from my previous visit.

As dusk settled, we set out in search of dinner. The area offered a variety of restaurants to choose from. After enjoying our meal, we stopped by a nearby convenience store to stock up on snacks for the evening and the following morning, as the accommodation's kitchen was undergoing renovations and unavailable during our stay. Upon returning, we were pleasantly surprised by the enchanting sight of the illuminated bamboo forest at night.

Beautiful

. . .



That morning…

The cold serves as a better alarm clock than any other, even though it's so chilly that you can't go back to sleep. Why? Because…

The chirping of birds, the sound of water flowing in front of the room, the desire to take a boat ride, and many other reasons, including the desire to sip hot coffee on a cold day, all contributed to this decision.

................................




A hot cup of coffee and a slice of bread for breakfast were ready. In fact, we planned to do some activities for a while and then go on a trip to another place. But... it wasn't like that.

As one thing leads to another, the first thing to do is...

Conquering the Island of the Heart

No paddle, the girl goes to her heart.

The little one trusts his father completely and is not afraid at all.

The moment has arrived.

This will be the moment when the poster will have to use their scouting skills. How many steps are there?

For this, how will I get down?

The outfit is a bit too dressy.

"Thankfully, the villagers are still asleep. Don't worry about landing, girls. If any of you are coming aboard, bring pants. It's chilly!"

We are back.

I want to try other things besides riding a boat. What else is there?

Can you handle this? Ask your heart.

Translation:

Staying here with the morning air in the winter season like this, there are not many tourists yet. This allows us to cycle around the accommodation. I understand that the little one is having fun from the boat ride, so I asked to cycle a little more. The staff at the counter allowed it, so we went all out. You can't find this kind of fun anywhere else, so let's do it!

Note: For tourists who visit, walking around this place is more suitable than cycling. The path in the bamboo tunnel is not suitable for cycling. However, we have obtained permission from the accommodation for the photos in this blog. They allowed it for the little boy, and the bicycle belongs to the accommodation. We did not bring it ourselves. ^^ Love you all.

Let me check in first. They said...

Never arrived....

With the morning light.

"Love you," they shouted in their hearts, a small moment of joy for travel bloggers with cameras.

Intrigued by every detail, I meticulously gather them, ensuring none slip through my grasp. It's as if… I've fallen head over heels for this place.

The air was perfect, the atmosphere was just right. At 16 degrees that morning, Kinugawa was no exception, especially with the bamboo forest backing it up. It was clearly a mini-Japan.

My Arashiyama, I scream loudly (in my heart) in the (bamboo) forest.



Mom ran out of time to daydream. Let's catch the moving object first, okay?


After the bamboo forest and the heart-shaped island, we wandered around looking for beautiful corners to take pictures, knowing that

We will be leaving this place soon.

Visit the tent site in front of the star-counting room. Visit the low-step rice field in the back corner of the accommodation. Visit this.


Winding and turning, they inevitably encountered tangled vines.

Translation:

The rapids at Mini Chamat are exciting. I wonder if the owner should build bamboo rafts for guests to stay in? 5555 Then they could have another summer adventure.

Nearly lost control, swung, and let out a sound.

After thoroughly enjoying the surroundings of our accommodation, we entered the room, packed our belongings, and prepared to depart for a new destination.

Returning the room key at the coffee shop counter, which was under renovation during my previous visit. This time, it's inviting, perfect for checking in and enjoying the atmosphere. Meanwhile, three or four tourist vans began to park. We waited for them to check the room and receive the key deposit (although I really wanted to sip coffee, it wasn't appropriate as it was nearing lunchtime).


This coming summer…

More coffee corners will be added in the water. The dining room is being renovated and expanded in anticipation of the influx of tourists.


They gave us bamboo signs to write love messages on. Let's spread the love!

Coffee-sipping customers who visit the bamboo tunnel can request a bamboo sign to write a love message on and tie it to the tunnel as a symbol of their enduring love.

For our family, the bamboo signs have been hung as part of this place, one after another.

Because "We have us."

And it will be like that "forever".

For the upcoming Valentine's Day

My dear friends, you are my Valentines.
