Image credit: wildbeat.chiangmai via Facebook
Next, I’ll be introducing you to Wildbeat Chiang Mai. As most Thai locals would say, no visit to Chiang Mai is truly complete without a visit to Doi Inthanon National Park – which is a few hours drive up from Chiang Mai’s city centre.
As this campsite is located right in the heart of Doi Inthanon, you could make this your rest stop for the day once you’re done with a day’s worth of exploration.

The campsite comes with a giant hut that makes for great photos that’ll be a wonderful addition to your IG feed. If you’re committed to snapping the perfect shot, you could even bring your drones out for a ride and capture beautiful pictures that take you to a whole new world.
For ฿2,500 (~USD73.07), you could spend a night in one of their container rooms – also known as mountain view villas. If you’d prefer something more rustic, you could also opt for a stay in one of their XL glamping tents on site.

With air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator, their container villas come with everything you could possibly need for a comfy stay.

Next up on our list, we have Baan Phu Mork. A lovely campsite offering the best of both worlds – a selection of XL glamping tents but also charming farm-style rooms that you could call your home for a night.
Situated high up in the valleys of Mon Cham, you’d get to fill your days with mountain hikes and photo-taking sessions amidst their famously colourful and stunning flower fields.

For only ฿1,990 (~USD58.16)/night, you could spend a 2D1N trip here at this stunning resort. What I’d give to wake up to this pastel masterpiece of nature. The flower fields look like they’re straight out of a painting.

Now this one’s for all our bubble dome lovers – introducing BubbleSky Chiang Mai. A campsite with gorgeous bubble domes all lined up in a row for you to pick from.

For ฿3,500 (~USD102.29), you can spend a night in one of these clear bubble domes. The whimsical fairytale fan within me looks at this from afar and thinks it looks like a home for a water fairy straight out of Neverland. Tinkerbell vibes strong, hah.
Image credit: BubbleSky Glamping Chiangmai บับเบิ้ลสกาย แกลมปิ้ง เชียงใหม่ via Facebook
Since every bubble dome comes with its own private area, you could even opt to have a warm steamboat or mookata session right at your own balcony. Since you’d probably head down to the camp during the cooler months towards the end of the year, a steaming hotpot session could be just what you need to warm you up for the day.

The resort also comes with many IG-worthy photo spots for you to spend the afternoon posing away. Here’s their iconic swing that makes you feel like you’re on top of the world while staring into the mountain valleys of Chiang Mai.

6. Reverie Camp — Bubble dome, caravan & cabin-style glamping
Up next on the list, we have one of my personal favourites: Reverie Camp. For this campsite, it re-imagines bubble domes to have a more geometric aesthetic, adding a whole lotta dimension to your pictures taken inside. However, it also comes with a whole experience of caravan living.
The bubble domes are decked out in cosy blankets and even come with a Marshall speaker for a surround-sound experience when you decide to put on your favourite music for the night.
Image credit: @reverie_camp via Instagram
From ฿6,900 (~USD201.66)/night, you get to spend a night in one of the fleet vans on a weeknight. This is honestly a dream come true for me since I was watching Hannah Montana on Disney and wondering how it’d feel like to live in a caravan while going on a world tour. With a bubble dome, private area and caravan living – it’s definitely the best of both worlds.
Image credit: @reverie_camp via Instagram
Each caravan comes with everything you’d possibly need within an arm’s reach. From the vans being lined with gorgeous fairy lights, to having a clear roof for some late-night star-gazing, who knew life in a caravan would look this good?

7. My Cottage Chiang Mai — private cottage-style villa in the woods, by a stream
Since the north is well-known for its forests too, it should come as no surprise that this next pick on our list is a forest-style staycation called My Cottage Chiang Mai. While the name implies a humble cottage in the woods, this staycation serves guests a grand bungalow right by a running stream.
Cleverly designed with bamboo and thatched roofs to fit its rustic theme on the outside, the interior of the bungalow gives us something completely different.

Decked out with white marble tables, carpet and furniture, the bungalow is designed with a clean and minimalist aesthetic in mind — a beautiful contrast to its warm, rustic and homely design on the outside.

9. April Cottage — villa in the forest with great panoramic sunset views
Next up we have a Balinese-style villa in the woods. Surrounded by lush greenery, April Cottage is a sight to behold from afar.
We think that everything within is basically reminiscent of villas you’d often find in Bali – with muted tones of cream and woody accents on the furniture certainly creating a lasting impression on guests. Look out for the outdoor tub right on the balcony of the villa. They’ll be a wonderful spot to gaze at the sunsets while relaxing in the evening. A stay here sets you back around ฿3,000 (~USD87.68)/night.
There are also ledges around the villa where you can head up in the early mornings to catch the sunrise with your pals, completing your Chiang Mai glamping experience. With all the forestry around you, get ready for some fresh air and misty mornings during your stay.
Sunsets here are absolutely stunning. With those deep orange and red hues lighting up the sky in that beautiful gradient, make sure to bring your phones or cameras so you can capture the sunset as it was.

A stay here costs about ฿64,000 (~USD1870.47)/night which is definitely one of the most expensive stays we’ve found so far. Though, we think that with everything that it offers – it makes for a good holiday home for a very special occasion.
