The Giant Chiangmai

One of the Worldcup hidden secrets. The most beautifull view from the terrace at the treetop. It’s a Long ride up the mountain and we visit the place on a daytrip to Mae Kampong. We rent a private driver for the day from Chang Mai. The trip was full of beautifull Nature you don’t often see in other tourist sights. It was a very few tourist here and almost no western people. Deffently the trop worth.

Really beautiful location. The tree is indeed, giant and we love how they managed to create a restaurant/coffee place without damaging the tree. However, considering the restaurant is on the tree and in such a natural place, it is very unfriendly to the environment. All the drink was served in plastic disposable cups, even when you sit in. Their glassware is just for decoration. The food menu is poor. Majority of the choices were western food - fancy beef stakes and spaghetti. Honestly if you want fancy stakes you'd have eaten in Chiang Mai town - who would go all the way here for that??? They could have nice, simple Thai's food. Like Pad Thai, fried rice..etc. instead. The worst thing is they don't even give you napkin/tissue!

Quite a ride to this place … several signs on the way referring to the difficult road. How cool would it have been if they also advised clients somewhere that the place is closer on Mondays … grrr!!! If you drive yourself be prepared for an interesting drive with very steep and tight roads.
