Mae Tho Camping, Chiang Mai
For this trip, I decided to escape the chaos and head up to the mountains in Chiang Mai. I stumbled upon a small accommodation on the hill called Mae Tho Camping. Honestly, just seeing the view from above made me realize that coming here was the right choice. Surrounded by layers of green mountains and a gentle mist lingering from morning till evening, the atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and comforting without any effort.
Each tent is spaced out perfectly, offering privacy. Waking up in the morning, opening the tent to a full view of the mountains, with a cool breeze constantly blowing, is an indescribable feeling. It makes you want to just sit still, do nothing, sip warm coffee, and let time pass by slowly.
The evening is another highlight. A hot barbecue on a wooden table amidst the cool air and the mountains changing colors with the sunset. It’s an ordinary meal that tastes extraordinary because of the surrounding atmosphere. The sound of meat sizzling on the grill combined with the gentle cold breeze perfectly defines the word "true relaxation."
At night, the weather is pleasantly cool, not too cold. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature, so quiet you can hear the wind and insects, makes for a restful night without needing anything else. The next morning, the mist still lingers as if the world has slowed down just for you to truly rest.
Mae Tho Camping is perfect for those looking to escape the city, find peace of mind, and spend simple, quality time with yourself or a loved one. It’s not luxurious, but it offers complete tranquility. If you’re searching for a mountain retreat with great views, fresh air, and a naturally beautiful atmosphere, this is one of the places I wholeheartedly recommend.
