Thailand's SPECTACULAR PARADISE 🇹🇭 Sharing A Hidden Gem

Today we leave the spectacular Chiang Mai city and head 1 hour north to the region of Chiang Dao.
Chiang Dao (still within Chiang Mai Province) is home to Thailand's 3rd highest mountain, however it is by far the 1st in terms of outstanding natural beauty and wonder.
First we visit a very responsibly run cafe that homes elephants that hang out by the river adjacent to the cafe itself. The cafe's elephants are actually from the elephant sanctuary next door and the whole business is run with the elephants best interests at heart, for those looking for a very intimate and cheaper way to visit elephants in Thailand I recommend this place.
Then we head further north to the base of Chiang Dao itself to enjoy one of the countries most spectacular and unique accommodations.
Enjoy the episode and see you again very soon from Pai ✌️

    The lodging, with a breathtaking panoramic mountain view, is priceless. The accommodation is well-designed and fitted to your needs. Nothing appears to be more or even less. I love the tent-style room, but the bath tub is probably not my choice. lol. As a solo traveller, I have to admit that being alone at night makes me scared.

Thailand is our favorite place in the world & we're hoping to be moving there within about the next 5 years or so. I'm a Psychotherapist & Stress Management Specialist & I want you to know that I'm here for you, 24/7 whenever your having a tough day. You're very hard on yourself, but know that you're really talented & a joy to watch. You're the only person that we check in to watch most days. Most of the others, while enjoyable in small doses, are just not our cup of tea. Maybe I can trade services with you (as you wouldn't want to be paying my hourly rate 😄) & maybe we can get your insight & wisdom on where we will eventually settle down location wise in Thailand. Be well & travel safe hun, & know we are right here, supporting you every step of the way 🤗 Big English hugs from Debbie and Jason Cooper xxx
