To live a simple life in an "illegal settlement".

Staying Wild is the name of an accommodation in Mae Maeh Village, Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province.

The accommodation's name may sound a bit intimidating, but in reality, it's not as scary as you might think. It's a simulation of a self-sufficient lifestyle, where you cook over an open fire (no gas stoves), using ingredients from your own fishpond, catching fish in the stream beside the accommodation, hunting frogs at night, and gathering vegetables from your own garden or foraging for wild ones (like fiddlehead ferns). Even the containers for your food are natural: banana leaves, skewers made from cut bamboo for grilling, drinking cups from bamboo stalks, and bowls and spoons from coconut shells. At night, you can lie under the stars, listening to the chirping of crickets and the sound of the stream flowing beside your home. There's no electricity here, just the soft glow of lanterns. Let me tell you, it's incredibly relaxing.

The accommodation is a single bamboo hut with mosquito nets, pillows, blankets, and mattresses. It has a balcony for relaxation and can accommodate up to 6 people at a cost of 600 baht per person.

If 10 people come, there will be 2 extra tents provided. Each tent can accommodate 2 people. The cost is 400 baht per person.

Both include dinner and breakfast.

The bathroom is located next to the house. It is an open-air toilet, so please inform your friends who have already arrived before using it. Please do not enter the bathroom without permission.

The upstairs bathroom is a short walk away and has four rooms: two toilets, one shower, and one open-air bathroom with a partially open door.

For those seeking a more immersive experience, a refreshing dip in the nearby stream offers a chance to connect with nature.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

During the simulation, you will be cared for by Father Thong, the owner of the accommodation. He will prepare meals, teach you about life in nature, and provide information about various forests. If you need anything, you can ask Father Thong to find it for you. For example, if you want to grill pork and stargaze, just tell Father Thong, and he will arrange it for you.

Father Thong is a meticulous and dedicated individual. He approaches every task with a smile and a sense of joy, which is contagious and brings happiness to those around him.

Nestled amidst the embrace of nature, "Live Wild" offers a sanctuary for those seeking an authentic wilderness experience. This haven invites you to immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the surroundings, where tranquility and adventure intertwine.

The journey is not difficult. From Chiang Mai city, head towards Mae Rim district and then to Chiang Dao district. About 5 kilometers before reaching Chiang Dao, there will be a small alley on the left with a sign pointing to Ban Mae Mae. From the alley, it is another 9 kilometers to reach the destination. The road conditions are good, and all types of vehicles can access it, except for buses due to the narrow road. If you are worried about getting lost, open MAPS and search for "Cher Cheewa" or Ban Mae Mae Treehouse. You will definitely arrive.

In conclusion, only TrueMove and 4G signals are available here, other network providers are not supported.
