It's a huge world out there with many places yet to be explored
No matter how well travelled you are, there's always going to be a place you've never been to or food you've yet to try — and that's the fun of exploring!
Situated in Mae Chan, northern Thailand, just a 40-minute drive from the province of Chiang Rai, is a farm stay that offers a peaceful getaway for those who want some fresh air away from the city.
Surrounded by paddy fields, Ahsa Farmstay allows guests to escape their busy routines and learn about the local culture, while enjoying northern Thai cuisine in a private and intimate setting
Hosting only a handful of guests at a time, the 32-acre estate has several houses that were made with reclaimed timber from dismantled traditional Thai housing.
The accommodation, which was built in 2018, was even named a finalist in the World Architectural Festival the following year.
There are Double Rooms suitable for couples, as well as Family Rooms that can accommodate up to four people.
Each room comes with beds, air-conditioning, mosquito nets, hair dryers, safe boxes, private bathrooms with hot showers, and WiFi.
The homestay was set up with the aim of offering holiday-goers, both locals and tourists, an immersive experience, such as farming, a herbal sauna chicken coop spa, traditional massage, and other activities
There are several hosts to look after the guests, showing them the traditional way of the northern Thai lifestyle.
"Each host will run different workshops according to their specialty: herbal production for traditional medicine, rubber production, and [cooking] local cuisine, to name a few," Ahsa Farmstay explained to SAYS.
This allows them to share their culture and traditional way of living while generating a steady source of income through sustainable tourism.
All meals are cooked fresh by the locals and included in your stay
Whether it's a couple's getaway, a family holiday, or a solo trip, this underrated gem is perfect for those who are looking for a different holiday experience, or who just want to unwind and recharge with nature
