3 Days 2 Nights Adventure In Lisu Hill Tribe Village (Breathtaking Landscape of Thailand)
this video is brought to you by Squarespace it's not hot it's perfect wow there's only us three on this whole mountain this is honestly the best sunrise I have ever seen so we left Chiang Mai this morning and we are driving about 2.5 hours north to a quiet and peaceful little homestay in the mountains in the area of Chiang Dao and Chiang Dao is a district in the Chiang Dao Province and we're going to be staying here at this home stay for two nights to just soak in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the beauty of Northern Thailand are you excited for this I'm very excited we're almost there we're only 3 minutes away and I can feel my ears are popping already me too cuz we're so high up we have beautiful weather today too we can see the mountains so clearly but I think at night and in the morning it will get really cold I think it's this one right here up on the hill you see that yeah look Akipu Coffee coffee and camping and homestay wow look how cute that looks look nice can park here this is so cute look do you see this oh my goodness [Music] hi are you going to be our friend we came to the right place I like this place already so the people who run this place is from the Lisu tribe I'm just reading up about the Lisu Hill tribe people that are in Northern Thailand so it said originally they are from Southwest China um the exact origin is unknown but all of the Lisu people currently living in Thailand came from Myanmar and it is relatively certain that the Lisu more or less followed the Salween River Valley from Tibet through to China to Burma and then made their way over to Northern Thailand 200 years ago I heard of Lisu Hill tribe before but I didn't know that they're Chinese origin even though we're beside the main road it's so quiet yeah cuz there's not a lot of traffic here and it'll be even more quiet at night time when trucks won't be driving these roads cuz I think it would be quite dangerous at night yeah I see another cat up there oh my God oh I love this place the perfect spot too you can kind of tell that they're still building parts of this like on this land is it quite new I'm not sure we found it on Instagram we saw like beautiful photos of this place but it's not like a well reviewed place or anything like that maybe because it's far away but I love it's so far so we found someone to help us check in and she's just going to bring us to our tent this is our tent we're the only tent here we get this whole space ourselves it's pretty epic yeah wow oh this is amazing oh this is amazing and the pillows are comfy and we have these blankets and the inside of the tent here is very clean wow you can see the mountains just from here we actually pay 1,200 Baht per person uh per night and that includes excursions each day which he will take us into the jungle later at 3:30 today oh and then it includes breakfast and dinner for 1,200 Baht per person for a tent does seem like a little much but because we basically don't have to worry about anything it's like going on a 2-day all inclusive tour so it's pretty awesome but it's quiet here like we're the only ones at the moment but even when it's full I think they only take 12 guests per night for now so we'll see maybe we'll be able to make some friends not just make friends with cats it's not hot it's perfect this place has so much potential I'm so excited for it I mean we're here a bit early as in early of the business it's not really fully finished but it's quite exciting to be here like this before it's like an Instagram thing you know which is actually where I found it actually on Instagram okay this is where the toilet and the shower is this is really nice yeah here wow mountain view toilet is it done yet no but I think these are um like guest rooms oh okay there's three there's three guest rooms out here that face that side of the mountain and then like a deck area for you to sit so there's two beds inside and then the same pillows and blankets would you prefer the tent or would you prefer this I prefer the tent take a look huh okay two beds simple bed but it's not about the room it's the view that they're looking at look at that yeah that's pretty nice too you ready I'm ready we're going on our first excursion yeah this is Nong Matt the owner of the place will show us around you have to close your door first this is like an Isuzu off-road commercial wow this is so cool it's it's not even a road he just made his own path what the I was so scared but I was thinking he knows his land so it's it's good but I was like there's so many trees in here and he was just through the high grass like you couldn't see the road look at that crazy real quick once again thank you to Squarespace for continuing to support our channel and for

and grass and he's clearing it as he goes I feel like uh my shoes doesn't have much grip so be careful quite slippery yeah it's crazy how high we are look at that I don't think we've ever hiked like this before in Thailand like right on the top of the mountain and going like straight downhill where we could just roll down I'm walking really carefully just in case cuz both our shoes aren't very good for grip so when we booked the place to stay Note did get kind of a list of activities that the uh owner said he was going to show us um but we didn't know in what particular order so it's quite nice to start off with a hike today and it's the perfect day for a sunset cuz it is so clear today in the sky um I think other excursions are they have like a avocado farm um they're going to make coffee make fire I don't know and I think that's kind of the fun part about this is we have two days here and we are just going to go of the flow and see what you know living up here in the mountain is like and experience nature like the local Lisu tribe people experience it it's beautiful you get the full view of the mountain we have it's like vermicelli noodle stir fried and omelette with rice and also a soup but what kind of soup is this oh homemade soup yeah potato soup potato and dill that's the first time I've had a potato soup in Thailand this must be like a local thing like the maybe like a Lisu people recipe that's delicious I love dill I like potatoes we have a lot of food yeah aside from this we each get one of this and we have the hot pot and the grill the grill is a bit far for me so you have to grill the meat for me okay this is the homemade plum wine yeah oh it smells strong all right delicious wow three years three years old umeshu and he doesn't sell it yeah lucky he said he only bring it out for special people oh that's really good yeah we're going to be drunk tonight hey let's go to the tent are you cold yeah I'm so cold it's 16° wow but it feels like it's a 5° did you have a good dinner yeah that was really nice I enjoy eating with everyone like we were with the host his girlfriend um also a family that's staying here for two nights that they're from Phuket but it was just so nice to eat together chat it almost just feels like we're having dinner with family you know family and friends and tomorrow we're going to be waking up at 5am so that we can make the sunrise I think Nong Matt which is the the owner he will take us to a special spot to see the sunrise together yeah let's get into our sleeping bag and keep us warm it's so I'm excited good night good night some coffee for you omelette and rice for breakfast yeah nice and simple so we didn't make it for sunrise we just couldn't get up it was so comfy I had a really nice sleep though mhm it was so comfortable in the tent and this is nice too camping like this but our initial plan was to have Rocket with us if you've been following our videos Rocket didn't make it here unfortunately but we have good news Rocket is now getting help he's in a he's in a rehab center right now so hopefully fingers crossed that we might be able to bring Rocket back on our next trip I miss Rocket me too but I didn't miss Rocket when we were coming up the hills here though I think that Richard is a lot more reliable but Richard is boring yeah it's too it's too easy with Richard you know we were like let's go to Chiang Dao and we know we're going to get to Chiang Dao yeah but with Rocket it's like 50% chance we might not get to Chiang Dao we might have stop on the way so Matt is going to town and he asked us to come with him to get supplies and stuff I think he's going to get supplies to build stuff here but um I'm not sure he probably going to take us somewhere too okay I have no idea where we're going that's cool I have nothing on my list for today so we're going to go to the National Park so uh 20 Baht for Thai people and 200 Baht for foreigners so you have to pretend that you're Thai okay you know what to say if they say what do you say one more time oh okay good wear sunglasses too like this yeah we just had a quick lunch um with Nong Matt and his girlfriend and now they've taken us to this very local hot spring called Pong Arng did I say it right and it's sort of a hidden gem in this area it's not very busy it's pretty cute we're on a nice little double dates and it's so nice not having to plan anything we just tag along and go wherever they take us I think he's trying to fit in some like fun things to do with us in the Chiang Dao area before we head to the construction store yeah that's actually the main purpose for him today he has to grab some stuff from the store to build more things at the campgrounds but yeah we're happy to just be able to go to the local places and see what they like to do in town I think I know why today is so pleasant because it feels like we have friends like we have friends to hang out with usually it's just the two of us but today we have friends we talk we chill we go to places it's quite nice come to Akipu if you're looking for some friends friends for rent Hello Friends good morning ready for the sunrise yeah it's a 6:15 at the moment I think sunrise is at 7 but we got to go early set up so we can have coffee at the same time we're hopping on uh the Villager's truck today wow sit in the back is good yeah I feel like today has been the coldest day out of all days hold on tight cuz there's nothing behind us and we going uphill how are your ears it's okay I have I have so many layers on right now I think I have five layers on and a scarf and my hood it's freezing cold my my hands are cold oh this is going to be the most epic cup of coffee we've ever had with this view I've never seen Doi Luang like that one day will make it up there one day but right now I'm loving the view of it that's incredible with the different shades of orange you can still see the stars in the sky wow wow factor like my mind exploded I don't even know this is crazy oh wow toast and hot dogs wow Look at this condensed milk yummy this is honestly the best sunrise view I have ever seen yeah with the whole mountain as the main like backdrop is so crazy I even forgot about the sun the sun's actually coming up now but the mountain kind of became the highlight of this whole experience wow the sun's coming up and you can see the rays go across the whole landscape yeah let me try to take this is crazy take the shot of the sunrise for you Chiang Dao is really really amazing I've never seen this side of Chiang Dao like this I feel like Doi Luang Chiang Dao the mountain is so iconic of this place that I'm so glad we went to Akipu to get to experience it for sunset for sunrise even driving up to Akipu we were already like wohhh this is the perfect end to our 2-day retreat in the mountains that's what it really feels like
