Northern Thailand Holiday Resort near Chiang Mai, Thailand

This Northern Thailand Resort is located opposite the village of PA NAI which is 7 km. from PHRAO. Doi Farang Bungalow is built on the end of a mountain-slope facing the big round valley of Phrao with all the ricefields, many small villages with mostly wooden houses and colorful temples, and in the background a big silhouette of high mountains.

Phrao is a small, quiet and non polluted provincial town just 95 km. north of Chiangmai. Road No. 1001, leds you straight from Chiangmai to Phrao.This road is paved and in very good condition. The road takes you through mountainous forests and passes the famous Wat Doi Mae Pang just 17km. before Phrao.

As Phrao is centrally located, it is a very popular market place for many northern villages and hilltribes at all times of the year - especially on the big Monday-Market. The local market in Phrao provides daily fresh vegetables and fruits, as many hilltribe people come down from the mountains to sell their products in small market-stalls.

The town, as well as DOI FARANG BUNGALOW, is very close to jungle areas with various hidden hilltribe villages. Phrao's surrounding villages are in the typical Northern Thailand's (Lanna) lifestyle with a lot of old wooden houses - many times in old teakwood - and colorful temples - still quite a few in wood and not made of concrete.

You will find a simple lifestyle and lots of very friendly people all around here.
