2 days 1 night at Mae Klang Luang - The sound of rain, the sound of forest and the view from the top of the mountain
📍Trip overview
A short trip in the middle of the rainy season, filled with the smell of soil, wet grass from the rain and a thin mist floating low over the rice fields. We chose to sleep slowly at Mae Klang Luang before going up to experience the top of Doi Inthanon with full lungs.
🌾Accommodation
Giant Bamboo House, Mae Klang Luang - Accommodation in the middle of a green rice field, the sound of gently flowing water next to the house, the sound of rain knocking on the bamboo roof at a steady rhythm, looking out to see only a green rice field and fog covering the top of the mountain.
It rained all afternoon, in the evening, I sipped hot tea with some snacks that the owner of the house had prepared for me and then listened to the sounds of the forest until morning.
🥾The next day, I hiked up to Kiw Mae Pan.
I woke up early to the cool air and set off to Kiw Mae Pan.
• The hiking trail after the rain was soft and moist, with fresh green leaves.
• Walked through the low mist and saw the view of the sun slowly breaking through the clouds.
• Standing and looking at the view from the top of the mountain Seeing the sea of fog floating across the grassland, full of eyes, full of heart
After coming down from the mountain, stop by to pay respect to the Buddha at Phra Mahathat Naphamethanidon-Naphaphonphumisiri, the atmosphere is peaceful, the cool wind blows, the scent of wild flowers gently wafts in.
☕️ Restaurant & Café
• For lunch, stop by to eat hot northern food at Inthanon Coffee – simple menus like Khao Soi, Larb Moo, Nam Phrik Ong with hot rice are a perfect match for this kind of weather.
• Before going back, stop by Sawanbondin Farm & Café – a café in the middle of the forest near a waterfall, the atmosphere is warm for both people and coffee.

It has been raining for two days, but it seems like nature knows my heart, opening the sky for us to see the fog, see the light at the right moment. Everything is still, slow, and full of good feelings, like if you want to escape from the chaos, you should come here at least once.
