We just finished a 2 night stay in the mountains of northern Thailand at Chiang Dao Nest! Our bungalow had amazing views of mountains on both sides of us and the whole experience proved to be more than we could have expected. The friendly Thai staff whipped up some amazing food that has so far been our favorite on the trip. We got to visit an amazing monastery situated on the side of a mountain (a 500 step hike), the famous Chiang Dao cave, and we did our first trek. The day started with a drive into the mountains in the back of a pickup truck with 3 other travelers, then we were dropped off with 2 Lisu tribesmen guide (zero English) to start our trek. They led us on an unbelievable hike through a Lisu hill tribe village, remote cave, waterfall, and a trek through the Thailand jungle with breathtaking views! I think we both agree that this was one of the most beautiful places we've ever been to and we can only hope our pictures will do this amazing place justice!
