#tripdiscount ✨Mae Klang Luang Rice Terraces✨ This rice field is a conservation tourism center that is conveniently located near Chiang Mai city and has many activities to do. This rice field is located on a hill and is planted in a terraced manner. When the rice is about to be harvested, the rice stalks are bent down and the golden yellow leaves make you feel very free and relaxed. In addition, the community takes you to walk on the Pha Dok Siew nature study trail, where Pha Dok Siew waterfall was one of the filming locations for the 90s movie Rak Jang, starring Film and Paula. Another reason we came here is that when you start walking into the village, there is a coffee shop that still cooks in the old style. There is a weaving workshop, a wool weaving workshop, and a cafe. Here, you can stay at Mae Klang Luang's house. There are homestay beds and a wide area for tent camping. 📍Take a red car from Chiang Mai city and get off in front of Mae Chaem Temple. Then take a red songthaew to Doi Inthanon and get off at Mae Klang Luang. Or you can drive a car or motorcycle. #RiceTerraces #ChiangMaiTravel #MaeKlangLuang #NatureAttractions
