The verdant countryside that surrounds Chiang Mai is full of possibilities for exploration. A patchwork of mist-shrouded, jungle clad mountains that pour down to lush river valleys; the area is paradise for nature lovers. From the northern capital it’s a manageable 80-minute journey north to Rabeang Pasak Tree House, one of the region’s true gems.

Set high in the forest, the accommodation offers guests precious peace and the chance to be at one with their surroundings. It is all about taking things at a relaxed pace here. The treehouse has plenty of information on the area and guests can use one of the property’s maps to navigate the trails and visit local villages on foot or by bike.

Alternatively, there’s ample scope for doing little more than kicking back with a good book or sharing travel tales with fellow explorers in the common areas.
