Phu Pha Hat Plantation in Chiang Dao
If you’ve already explored much of Chiang Mai – Thailand’s most popular city in the north – then it’s probably time for you to move further up north into Chiang Dao. A good way to understand what the nature-rich locale is all about, is to book yourself a stay at Phu Pha Hat Plantation.
With its colourful flower fields and starry mountain views, a stay at this countryside homestay feels kinda like going back to basics and being one with nature. So if you’re ready to have your own ‘Meteor Garden’ moment with your friends or with bae, read on to find out more about what to expect.

Triangle hut-style rooms with your own private balcony
This hut-style homestay looks like a dream stay for anyone who’s ever wished they lived out of a storybook. With the flowers around the hut gleefully in bloom, it’s definitely a welcome sight for anyone who’s just set foot on the site.
The home itself is a gorgeous triangle hut, with all-glass doors that allow for the gentle sun to greet you as soon as morning comes.
The room also comes with a private balcony which extends out of the hut itself. Decorated with sturdy wooden furniture for that added countryside warmth and simplicity, you could easily gather your friends here for some afternoon board games or late-night HTHTs.
If this humble yet charming abode is calling out to you, then know that you can look forward to more once they are done with their renovations.
Multiple flower gardens for dreamy photoshoots & Meteor Garden vibes
Did someone say Cloudy With A Chance of Gorgeous Flower Fields? One of the best things about this homestay has got to be their flower fields that create pops of colour against the misty mountains here.
With the cloudy fog building up in the mountains during the early mornings and evenings, the flower fields make for ethereal photos. Time to bookmark this location for your next staycation with your partners the next time the humidity and heat of the city gets to you.
As the compound is much bigger than the hut-style rooms alone, feel free to go exploring with a camera in hand. You’d be surprised by how many photo spots you’d find. It’d probably be best to give your IG followers a heads-up so that they can brace themselves for the spam of photos on your feed to come.
Of course, once night falls, Pha Phu Hat Plantation is sure to become the subject of every city-goer’s envy.
Perfect skies for stargazing once night falls
Down in Bangkok or any other city, all the bright city lights definitely make it pretty much impossible for anyone to catch any stars at night.
But here in Pha Phu Hat Plantation, it’s all the way up in the countryside of Chiang Dao which means minimal light pollution. With the right camera – we think an iPhone or Samsung would work just as well – we’re sure that you’d be able to capture just how beautiful the skies look once the stars appear.
These photos alone look absolutely unreal. Honestly, this is truly bringing back my 2018 galaxy trend obsession. And you might actually get to experience it in person once you book a stay there. A real-life galaxy for a city girl like me…that’s the dream.
BRB, finding myself someone to book a stay here ASAP now.
Getting to Phu Pha Hat Plantation
