Also called Chiang Mai Treehouse, this is a jungle retreat of 9 or so treehouses. Some for 2, 4, 5, some 30 or 40 feet in the air, some closer to the ground. Everything is unique and kind of hobbity, if hobbits lived in trees. One of the treehouses has a beehive e made out of a hollowed out log. A river winds through the property with some little waterfalls and a couple of little pools to swim. There are little fish that nibble you gently-a free spa treatment.
Cicadas hum off and on all day, as well as a variety of other insects, frogs & birds. It's very relaxing. The trees that support the houses are living, many have jackfruits ripening in various rooms. We've got a cool leaf bug in the bathroom about 5 inches long. Some of the bathrooms had giant free frogs that would sometimes hang out in the toilet.
The kids had their own treehouse and played hide and go seek, played in the river, and rescued a little chick who had been caught in same thread. AK and Todd helped cut him loose and the kids located the mama hen and chicks to return him.
Out of every place we have been, I was able to really relax and let go here. Eric agreed and thought it was because the tree houses were so isolated we did not feel the constant pull of all the things we should be going to see. We did go for a bike ride, on decrepit bikes with flat tires and seat fails to bat caves. Spooky and very cool. There were shrines outside each cave and inside some.
I had the best meal I've eaten inThailand here. The proprietor, Mink was so lovely in providing me with gluten free food. I had a deep fried fish with dipping sauce to die for.
