    Awesome place to visit. Beautiful restaurant there, that food delicious, and the views there and the tea plantation stunning. 1,000 baht a night accommodation there is a bargain. I believe many of those places in the mountain region cost 1,500 to 3,500 baht a night. I'm guessing it is currently still the low season which is excellent for you guys being there now. I adore that Mae Salong village. So serene, totally laid back and I love a good cup of tea too. That art work brilliant. The night market so active and plenty of stalls considering where it is up in the mountains and great being able to find a place for a meal at 10pm. Really enjoyed this video guys. Thanks for sharing and stay champ 🤩

      Ey Steven, haha yes! that's about right. The rooms easily cost 2.500 baht. We're just enjoying the low season prices at the moment :) It's so nice in the mountains. Soon we will at the beach though ;P cheers mate

    I also want to pop up a quick question. How do you manage to access signal and internet while you travelling?
    All the best!

    The story about Chinese settlements in northern Thailand (Santikhiri is only one of them) is so dramatic. Most of them are the descendant of Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang), which after defeated by Communist Party, they fled to the northern part of Thailand. Later they allied (more like merc ?) to Thai gov in the campaign against communist army from Laos and Vietnam. After everything have been settled, Thai gov rewarded them by providing 'Thai' nationality to them.
    One thing I can probably say is that, after losing their home, their hatred toward commie is second to none. Despite there is no way back to their original home, but they managed to take this chance to fight over their new home, taking some sweet revenge, and killing the ghost of their past...not a bad ending at all, right ?

    • @Chai_Travel

      I’ve read a few things about the history of the first Chinese who arrived here. A fascinating story and I think its a great ending after all 😁 thanks mate 🏆
