Maekampong village

[Londoner]

This isn't a gay issue but I must recommend a visit to the charming village of Maekampong, an hour or so drive from Chiang Mai. My partner arranged this trip for me without explaining anything about it; he knew I'd like it and wanted to surprise me. He did.

In short, it is situated in a beautiful, unspoiled and mountainous country and is distinguished by its wooden houses, tiny temple, numerous restaurants and a commitment to eco-tourism.

I didn't see many other falang visitors but it is evidently popular with Thais.

It is located to the East from Chiang Mai.

And if you will drive to West from Chiang Mai about the same distance, then you will visit villages of Hmong people. by the way you may also visit few waterfalls and Doi Inthanon (Thailand's highest point) with amazing views
