This place is very popular with Thais and foreign tourists alike. Its busiest season is Nov-Jan when the weather is cool. Walking along this village at night is so relaxing and enjoyable when the weather is cool/cold.

This is one of the benefits of having your own transportation. You stop at these kind of places and “ discover “ awesome places. Have been coming to Thailand for 20 years- driven all over. My Thai wife and I will “ retire” 2-3 months a year in Thailand. Some want to build a nice home in a location- I caution against this as renting is the way to go and very reasonable. Stay in the mountains for a month, stay near the beach for a month. Pick different areas and discover.

[@TheNarrowGate]

Great advice! 🇹🇭😊

[@halfpint0902]

If I go there, I would never want to leave.

[@diamondsandrust6877]

You would not say that in March. Burning season is awful.

[@creatorsharing3114]

I want to go there next week ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@timjensen6968]

I see you've learned some new production methods. I like it.

[@TheNarrowGate]

Yes, thanks

[@CarmenMulder]

Your video intros are great. Enjoying that new addition.

[@TheNarrowGate]

Glad you like them!

[@Mummalez]

Please keep this kind of video coming. I’d rather see these videos than just sitting talking. Thanks

[@TheNarrowGate]

Thanks for watching this video again. 😊 It is such a beautiful place, you need to visit one day! 😎🇹🇭

[@anna_m59]

Perfect I am waiting for my fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. 35 hours flying arrival evening no clue where to go get food . Lot of to learn!

[@TheNarrowGate]

Awesome 😎

[@travelingmike40]

Your in Thailand, food everywhere. One of the things I love about visiting is the street food. Sitting at a little table on a sidewalk savoring a bowl of noodle soup.

[@anna_m59]

@@travelingmike40 yes i am aware of street food I just have to find out right or left to turn from my accommodation.. brand new to the city living where locals are not tourist area.

[@SouthernSoftie]

I was I mae kampong in January, it’s probably one of my favourite places to visit in all of Thailand, exercise is the key word, be prepared to climb climb climb. 👍

[@Sick_Buffalo]

Beautiful! The issue is the burning season 😒

[@DreamofThailand19000]

Yeah!

[@suk_Qqa89]

Burnning season only Mar-Apr, rest of the year no problem.

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

Thanks fro braving the heights for the view. The place is incredible!

[@TheNarrowGate]

It really is! 🇹🇭😎

[@daveclarke5766]

I am so excited I will be there in less than two months, thanks again Tony see you soon

[@TheNarrowGate]

Safe travels, looking forward to meeting you in person. 🇹🇭😎

[@ChilloutLars]

Good job with this one. Been watching the building project up there for years. Yes, mind blowing views 👏

[@TheNarrowGate]

Thanks 👍

[@roblacyclist1170]

Fantastic video, Tony. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place 🙏🏻😊.

[@TheNarrowGate]

What’s up Rob! 😊

[@Chris-xs8so]

Hidden gem. The drive up is nice and spoiled for choice for accomodation. There are baht buses that can take you from the main village up the hill or to the waterfall. For those that are fit, I highly recommend a trek up the waterfall in a dry period of the rainy season.

[@TheNarrowGate]

Thanks for the tips!

[@nanwithabackpack]

Oh wow wow wow this is now one of my favourite vlogs those places were so amazing I loved the coffee tree house so much. Thank you for a wonderful video 😊.

[@TheNarrowGate]

Are you missing the traveling yet?

[@nanwithabackpack]

@@TheNarrowGate yes and no is my best answer. I loving spending time with family and friends back home. Although I am still traveling in a way as I’m doing day trips in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 going to places I love and some I’ve never been to. So you could say I’m discovering my own country as well, which is lovely 🥰 xxx

[@ki-sikil-lil-la-ke2429]

Thanks for sharing these videos, I’m actually waiting for placement as an English teacher. I’ll do one week orientation in Chiang Mai.

[@trevor5526]

Been there twice in the cold season. Its an absolutely amazing place. I am 65 years old now and sadly I don't have the nerve for heights any more 😥😥

[@TheNarrowGate]

😢

[@s.porter8646]

Another great vid brother

[@TheNarrowGate]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! 🇹🇭🙏🏻

[@DreamofThailand19000]

Mae Kampong is a beautiful village. The weather is cool all year long. I was there in June, 2018. I am not sure why I didn't see that Treehouse restaurant and the last place you went. I will have to go there next time when I am in Chiang Mai. Thanks 🙏

[@TheNarrowGate]

It is very beautiful there. And yes, definitely check it out next time you are in CM area. 🇹🇭🙏🏻

[@norrisbethke7770]

Not surprised, there are so many places like that all around Tland ! Could be dangerous though, does Thai medical cover blown minds ? Or if your breath is taken away would a hospital be nearby ? Gotta be aware of them sorta things 😱 Anyway, always pleasant seeing new places in and around CM, hoping to be back reasonably soon, I’ll bring a tire pump if your mind is still blown 😱 Kop 🙏🏻🇹🇭

[@TheNarrowGate]

Good to hear from you!! 🇹🇭😎🙏🏻

[@Mike-du1dc]

Your right if it was in North Carolina it would be packed. But then again it would never be built using scaffolding uprights so far apart to support those bridge walkways....that as it is would never pass building codes 😉 But as you say it is beautiful & we love such places in Thailand. But as always in Thailand please be careful your on your own 😉

[@nikkian9254]

Thanks for another lovely video Tony! Im wondering if you use any sort of mosquito repellant? I'd love to visit these places but also want to stay safe from them mosquitoes!

[@TheNarrowGate]

Yes, we use the kind that is in most stores and 7-11. It’s a Thailand brand and works really well.

[@nikkian9254]

@@TheNarrowGate oh awesome! Ty! I'll check them out when I'm there~

[@tenchemarius]

Hi , of the topic question, today on Chiang Mai I have been to 4 banks to open a bank account on a turist visawith the purpose to deposit 800 000Thb for retirement visa application. I was denied, no bank account opened on turist visa it is possible was the answer.. Any solution to my problem & Please he. Thank you

[@TheNarrowGate]

Yes, use a Visa service. They know people in the bank and you will be able to open one. Yes things really work like this. 👍

[@tanhakkoon]

Is pet allowed in this village ?

[@TheNarrowGate]

Yes, but beware of the street dogs.
