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.

The Island of Koh Larn, Thailand

Are you ready to adventure a whole island and see every beach it has to offer in a relaxing pace? Well here you go.  Then set sail from the piers in Pattaya near the Walking Street, the earlier the better. Signs are posted for by the ferries to leave at 08:00 but Robe and I got on one 15-30 minutes before hand for 30 BAHT each.  It’s a beautiful and relaxing ride there.  Haad Ta Waen Beach Upon arrival you see all the bright colored building and lush jungle.  We set foot to our first stop Haad Ta Waen beach which I would say way my least favorite other than the floating pier that really rocked your boat. The tide was high so there was no beach and it was over populated with tourists so we left quickly.  Samae Beach We then set foot over to Samae Beach. It was a gorgeous walk hitting a beautiful Viewpoint before a lovely lady stopped to give us a ride on her motorbike the rest of the way just to be nice! We had a fun little photo shoot and kicked back on

Vida Guesthouse, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Where to Stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand Upon arriving back to Chiang Mai, Thailand with no set place to stay I wandered the Old City in search of the perfect place. I wandered in and out of many places inquiring about prices and checking out the rooms. My new friend Paul had suggested using HostelWorld to find good, cheap places. With this lovely little website I found Vida Guesthouse where I spent the last 3 nights. This cute little guesthouse was perfect! The staff is very friendly and bilingual making communication a breeze. I did not book ahead a time, which when you do this you do not have to pay until the end of your stay. You have a little book with your room number and where you can log the drinks that you take from the fridge to be billed at checkout. My room was the perfect size, I don't need much since my time is spent out and about, only using the room to sleep, bathe, and take some short breaks to get away from all the stimulation. I had my own private bathr

Elephant Haven, Kanchanaburi,Thailand

Finding My New Favorite Animal I arrived in Kanchanaburi, Thailand to get picked up from my guesthouse at 08:00 the following morning by some of the staff of Elephant Haven. I did not know that I would fall in love with elephants and never want to leave.  Upon arrival to stay overnight at Elephant Haven myself and the others got to meet a few of the ladies and had a quick run down of the history, along with safety guidelines.  From there it was time to make breakfast. Not for us of course but for the elephants. This consisted of rice banana balls and cutting watermelon. We met the rest of the herd and fed them their breakfast that they seemed very happy about. Then it was time for a stroll through the jungle where we got to observe how they lived their daily life and hangout with them. Which consists of 18 hours of eating and lots of attention from one another, the staff, and they’re ecstatic visitors.  We then returned after quiet sometime to have a delicio
