Step into a Succulent World Right Near the Hotel
June in Banna is a vibrant embrace of sunshine and greenery! This time, I stayed at the newly opened "Mingyu Lizard Adaman Hotel," and to my surprise, I discovered a magical little courtyard nearby—the moment I pushed open the door, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale world of Chiang Mai ✨
🌱 Succulent Paradise + Dai-Le Aesthetics
The ground is covered with plump, colorful plants like a spilled palette, while Dai-Le lanterns sway gracefully overhead. Earthen pots, bamboo weavings, and wooden carvings are scattered around, every frame exuding a film-like charm! The traditional stilt houses mixed with Thai triangular chairs, and the camping-style pondside breeze in the evening create healing snapshots straight out of *Little Forest* 📸
🍲 Southeast Asian Flavors to Fall in Love With
The Thai tom yum soup and Lao hotpot here are absolutely divine! The spicy, sour, and savory flavors hit all the right notes, and the refreshing papaya salad is the perfect appetizer. Don’t forget the sticky mango rice… Sitting in the garden, listening to the insects chirp while enjoying a meal, it’s easy to imagine you’re actually on vacation in Chiang Mai~
🎨 Handmade Healing Moments
The biggest surprise? You can try your hand at pottery! The staff patiently teach wheel-throwing and carving, letting you preserve Banna’s wind and sunshine in a one-of-a-kind souvenir (you can take your creation home!).
📌 Must-Know Tips
▫ Outfit suggestion: Light-colored dresses + straw bags for super photogenic looks!
▫ Best time: 5-7 PM when the lanterns light up, maxing out the romance.
▫ Hidden photo spots: Overhead shots from the stilt house’s second floor, or side-lit ambiance shots in the camping area.
