Tieland to Thailand blog is easily one of the best you'll read - the quality of work they do sets them way above the fray - here's their recent trip report to Chiang Dao
tielandtothailand.com/cool-things-to-do-in-chiang-dao/
There’s a small town in Thailand’s northern mountains and it’s not often on travelers’ radars. Although it’s close enough to take a day trip from Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai, it’s an amazing place for a weekend getaway trip. It has the perfect atmosphere to unwind but you may quickly get swept up into other things to do in Chiang Dao like we did.
We knew almost nothing about Chiang Dao before arriving except that it hosts the Japanese Shambhala in Your Heart Festival each February, has a resort that serves up gourmet food, and that there are caves to explore.
Chiang Dao has absolutely stunning views of the towering mountain, Doi Luang Chiang Dao (ดอยหลวงเชียงดาว), and of the nearby valleys and rolling hills. Given that it’s a relatively small town with very peaceful roads, it’s totally possible to fully relax here and curl up with a good book or a notebook to draft or doodle.
************
Chiang Dao area is stunning - that whole zone down there and towards Fang/Tha Ton is well worth a visit.
