Chiang Dao Hut
This cute little bungalow resort is the perfect getaway! I checked in yesterday afternoon to the Superior Bungalow, for my 2 nights amounting to $44 USD.
This include my own bungalow, full bed, fan, private toilet, shower, sink, and free WiFi. The owners do not speak english very well but are extremely nice and helpful.
On the patio included a hammock I really enjoyed reading in and two wooden lunges/benches that I made sure to take advantage of.
There is a stunning garden/courtyard full of beauty and and amazing view of the third largest peak in Thailand! You can find many places to meditate, read, observe nature, etc.
 
It is less than a mile from the Chiang Dao Cave of Wat Tham that you can read about in my pervious blog posted. There is also a wildlife sanctuary, the Pong Arng Hotspring, and the Sri Sungwan Waterfalls. Next door to the Chiang Dao Hut you will find The Cave Camp which has pool, board games, music, drinks, along with Thai and American Food options. It's quiet other than the lovely sounds of nature and the occasional car rolling by. There are other more expensive options for huts placed further back with views of the mountain. The space and grounds are well maintained. It's about 4 miles from the town central of Chiang Mai which is plenty far enough to make if feel like you are nowhere near it. If you are seeking to getaway for a few nights but still have a few options of things to do. I recommend staying here.
When booking this place I used Agoda, but when I go back to Chiang Mai I will walk up and inquire to a couple places that have been recommended to me.

Recommendations:
  • Check out the Cave of Wat Tham
    • Walk there too, it's only .7 miles away
  • Bring bug replant. As the sunsets they start to eat you up.
  • Soak up the wildlife around you!

This was even more perfect for me to get over my food poisoning in a quiet and serene location. It is now time for me to move onwards to Find Myself Wherever I Maybe next. Thank you again as always for stopping by! Don't forget to give my blog a follow for the rest of my journeys and experiences through SE Asia and the rest of the world. Leave comments, suggestions, and questions, I love it all.

Namaste from Finding Me Wherever I Maybe.

How Much Did My 1 Month Through SE Asia Cost?

Since I have been back to life here on Mt. Hood one of the number one questions I have been asked is how much my trip cost me. I sat down and went through my receipts, tickets, and bank statements to break it down into 5 segments: 1. Lodging = $500 - All of my nights but 2 were spent in either my own room or private bungalow never                         having  a shared bathroom expect once. This cost also includes my stay at the Kanchanaburi Elephant Haven . 2. Food & Drinks = $300 - I went to a couple fancy places but mostly chose the food stands/carts, markets, and small hole in the wall places. These more local spots I felt as if I got more bang for my buck and didn’t feel like I was in a tourist trap. 3.  Traveling Around While in Asia = $250 - This cost includes a flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, sleeper train, tut-tuts, buses, mini vans, and motorbikes. 4. Everything Else = $450 - Everything else is medicine, souvenigers, supplies, activities, etc.

Finding Me Wherever I Maybe Says Sawatdeeka From Chiang Dao I decided to head to the jungle to relax before Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai. For the next couple of nights I have myself my own cute little bungalow at the Chiang Dao Hut. From Chiang Mai I caught a Tut Tut for 100 BAHT, taking me to the Chang Puak Bus station where I hoped on the orange bus for 40 BAHT. On this 3 hour adventure through towns, past lovely temples and rolling hills I made my first friend Paul.  Bus to Chiang Dao Upon arrival in Chiang Dao we took a taxi to my little bungalow for 70 Baht a piece.  Paul unfortunately went back to town but later picked me up on for my first moped ride.  We just road around the jungle at first before heading to explore the Chiang Dao Cave of Wat Tham. When walking up to the cave we turned a little too soon taking us on a mini trek through the jungle and exploring up the stairs to what seemed to be an abandoned building.  Once back on track the entrance was g

Getting Sick While Traveling Alone and How I Dealt With It

The Sickness In a previous post about my first day in Chiang Mai, Thailand I shared with you how I spent 15 hours sick in my hotel room. During that time I was vomiting, dry heaving, hot and cold flashes, sweating profusely, and only being able to take nibbles of a banana and a sip of water ever couple hours in between forcing myself to sleep with the help of lavender and peppermint oil. The next day I was able to get myself to Chiang Dao to explore the jungle due to charcoal pills. The pills weren't actually helping... They were just masking whatever had possessed my body. During dinner the second day after the pills wore off I felt round 2 approaching. I parted with my friend to call it a night and wake up later to spend hours making good friends and enemies with my toilet. Unable to keep even water down. I am not going to lie... I broke down in my little bungalow in the middle of the jungle bawling my eyes out, distressed that I was on the complete other side of home,
