Comfortable Stay at Sabai Dee Mae Salong Doi Mae Salong at Night with a real experience from mr.hotsia
When talking about Doi Mae Salong in Chiang Rai province, many people probably think of the cool atmosphere, lush green tea plantations, and the lifestyle of various hill tribes blended perfectly with Yunnan Chinese culture. But tonight, I, mr.hotsia, will take you to experience another side of Mae Salong that many may not have tried yet — a “comfortable stay at Sabai Dee Mae Salong” and the warm nighttime atmosphere on this mountain that is just as comforting as during the day.
After driving from Chiang Rai city, which offers many affordable and good accommodations such as Suknirand Hotel, where mr.hotsia has stayed at a budget-friendly price,Affordable and Good Hotels in Chiang Rai CityI headed north to Mae Salong along winding roads passing hill tribe villages and rows of green tea plantations. The air gradually became cooler even though it was summer.
Arriving in Mae Salong at night, I chose to stay at “Sabai Dee Mae Salong,” a small accommodation filled with warm hospitality from the hill tribe owners who are knowledgeable about taking good care of tourists. The rooms were clean, and importantly, the air was so cool that I hardly needed to turn on the air conditioner, even on a summer night.
What impressed me most was the atmosphere around the accommodation. The cold breeze swept through the tea fields and flower gardens of Doi Mae Salong. The sounds of crickets and night insects created a peaceful and deeply relaxing feeling, completely different from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Rai city. If anyone has everstrolled around Chiang Rai cityand felt that the nights were not very peaceful, try staying on Doi Mae Salong. I guarantee you will sleep better than ever before.
That night, I also had the chance to walk around the Mae Salong night market, a small market open from evening until night, offering a variety of goods including spicy Yunnan Chinese food, local snacks, and warm drinks like hot tea that refreshes wonderfully.
One dish that mr.hotsia recommends trying is “Yunnan Wonton Noodles” at a small roadside shop. The flavor is rich and fresh, completely different from the noodles I have eaten in big cities. Paired with Oolong tea from Mae Salong tea plantations, it makes the taste perfect.
For coffee lovers, I suggest stopping by to experience fresh coffee grown on Doi Mae Salong, which has a fragrance and flavor distinct from regular coffee in Chiang Rai or even Doi Chang, which I have previously written about inDriving Trip to Doi ChangThe coffee here has a smooth taste with a harmonious blend of wildflower aroma.
After the night passed, I woke up to a fresh and energized morning from the good air and natural surroundings embracing the accommodation. “Sabai Dee Mae Salong” is a place I highly recommend for those who want to truly relax, not just pass through, and want to experience the genuine hill tribe lifestyle.
If you plan to visit Chiang Rai, don’t forget to spend a night or two in Chiang Rai city. In the evening, you can stroll alongChiang Rai Walking Streetor visitWat Rong Khunwhich is an important landmark. Then drive up to rest on Doi Mae Salong, where I, mr.hotsia, guarantee you will experience true peace and comfort that night.
This is the truth I experienced myself. On a comfortable night at Sabai Dee Mae Salong, Doi Mae Salong at night is not just accommodation but an experience you will remember for a very long time.
