Sa-moeng is a small, peaceful district located just 40 minutes from Chiang Mai city. During the winter season, Sa-moeng is renowned for its delicious strawberries. 🍓🍓

This month, I'd like to recommend a nature retreat where the temperature ranges from 15 to 19 degrees Celsius in the mornings and evenings, and may drop even lower during the winter. "Longkhao Sa-maeng" is a place where you can wake up to a blanket of mist and breathe in the fresh air surrounded by flower fields and rice paddies.

Seeking tranquility and quality time with companions, most houses here lack air conditioning and televisions. Equipped only with fans, I found myself waking up in the middle of the night to turn them off due to the remarkably cool air. In the mornings, one can simply open the door and welcome the refreshing mountain air directly from their bed.

The Long Rice Homestay offers a variety of accommodations for groups of 2-6 people, perfect for couples, families, or friends. Every room boasts stunning views of the rice fields and beautiful flower gardens. Additionally, the homestay provides bicycles for guests to explore the surrounding area, including nearby 7-Eleven and Lotus Express stores, located just 300 meters away.

This February, the Strawberry and Samoeng District Fair will be held from February 9-11, 2018. The strawberry parade will pass right in front of the accommodation. 🚍 Anyone who wants to visit the event and does not yet have accommodation can contact Lhongkhao Samoeng for more information.

The entrance is decorated in a northern style.

Upon arrival, please call Aunt La. Aunt La is the caretaker here. Most importantly, Aunt La is very kind and lovely.

Tell me what you want, Auntie La can get it for you.

Upon entering, one will encounter a patch of bougainvillea flowers planted in front of the traditional rice barn.

Agricultural practices will adapt to the seasons.

To witness the stunning green and golden rice fields, visit between August and November.

During the winter season, the main crops are strawberries, marigolds, and bougainvillea.

A photo spot with mountains and marigolds in the background.

Let's sit back, relax, and take in the fresh air while we capture some photos.

The scarecrow seemed lonely, so the admin decided to say hello.

Fields of Mexican sunflowers bloom in front of the Long Khao house.

The sun has set, and the coolness begins to arrive.

The evening view of the house is also beautiful in a different way.

Rice barn

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

The signature house of this place is built like a rice barn in the north.

The house has a veranda underneath for relaxing, complete with hammocks for chilling out in the breeze.

The cool evening air, walking along the rice paddy dikes, breathing in the fresh air, it's so refreshing.

Dinner can be ordered from Auntie La. It will be delivered in a cute tiffin set.

However, the admin arrived after the ordering period had ended, so they were unable to eat.

At 7:00 AM, monks will walk past the accommodation for alms.

The morning market at the Sa-moeng Tai Subdistrict Municipality offers affordable offerings for those who wish to make merit by giving alms to monks.

Breakfast time has finally arrived! I woke up early and I'm already hungry. I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

This area allows you to prepare your own egg menu. You can boil, poach, or cook them to your liking.

The deep-fried dough sticks are incredibly delicious, crispy, fragrant, and piping hot. They are absolutely delightful.

Pork congee is also delicious. The pork chunks are large and firm, and the aroma is very fragrant.

Enjoy a breakfast amidst the morning mist, admiring the view of strawberry plants. It's a delightful experience.

Sipping coffee amidst the mist, admiring the mountain view. Oh, so blissful!

Freshly picked strawberries, sweet and crunchy, most importantly, free from any pesticides or chemicals.

The field of sunflowers is in full bloom, shrouded in a thick fog that obscures the mountains in the distance.

Snails, the enemy of every agricultural plot here, are very abundant.

Snails like to sneak and eat strawberries before they are ripe.

The surrounding atmosphere is very good. It is very refreshing to be in the midst of nature like this.
