As a Thai person, this is not a bad place to stop by if you want to visit a local village not far from Chiang Mai city center. You can take a motorbike up here then visit Wat Phra Tat Doi Suthep on the way back to the city in the evening. The village is very quiet with only few tourists. They have a coffee shop with locally grown coffee, which was great to try. You can also rent a traditional Hmong costume to walk around the village and take photos.
Fantastic road to get here. There are a few lovely shops, a garden, waterfall and a few eateries. Good for a one time visit. Perhaps bring an extra layer of clothing. Different climate to the bottom of the mountain.
If you are able to take the trek up there it’s worth the views. You can change into traditional dresses and take pictures in the village where there’s lots of flowers.
What a quaint little village in the mountains?! Weather was nice when we arrived. Walked up the baby slopes and took in the fresh air as we walked. Many local products - coffee, tea, almonds, manggo, bags, scarfs and best of all the soft yarn colorful clothings. I bought a hip orange jacket for Baht 1,300. Came with matching pants to which my girlfriends adamantly said no.. bhahahaha! Too much! Too much! I must say it would have been eye catching. Surprise.. surprise there’s a Muslim restaurant selling their versiin of Curry Mee. Watch out for the dry sambal. Add sparingly since its spicey. The side kimchi dish when paired was a burst of flavours. Sedap! A must try if you like spicey food. I also shared our lady driver - Ms Ae who was very accommodating to all our requests. We paid a return fare of Baht 1,800. from our hotel Bed @Prasingh to Hmong Village.
I really liked this place. It's a small village in which you can see a different way of life. The village blends nicely with the nature around, and they have a nice garden with flowers and a small waterfall. Note that they have their own unique and unrelated language, as they are historically a different community.
