Imagine you sip coffee outside your yurt, watching the Sun setting behind the mountains below you.That’s what Bankafae offers.For that exceptional experience, the owner charges a premium. If the per-night yurt price were half of what he charged, we might well return to the camp every year.

Stopped for some teas and coffees on the way back down. Beautiful café. Beautiful site. Nice viewing platform to sit and enjoy while you enjoy your drink. Bakery wasn’t open today as it’s quiet season which was a shame, but I’ll try next time. Iced teas were tasty and served with a complimentary home brewed peach tea from the peaches grown on site which were also served. The peach tea was so good.
Do more of. What make you are happy.

Accommodation is a large, clean tent. Inside the tent, it smells fresh. Wake up to a beautiful morning view in front of the tent. Simple breakfast A service worth millions for a price of thousands. From the accommodation to the viewpoint is not far and you get a very beautiful view.

The atmosphere is very good. The weather is cool. The accommodation is located on top of a hill. You can see the beautiful view below.The tent protects from the wind well, the uncles and aunts are kind, there is a welcome drink, the breakfast is delicious & more than expected. They sell coffee that Uncle Roasts himself. It's delicious.In the evening, grilled pork is also served.Traveling via the line PTT Wiang Kaen As recommended by the house Traveling isn't difficult. If you come the other way, it will be steep and curved and difficult to drive.Come to Pha Tang and recommend it here.

Good accommodation, clean, delicious breakfast. There's also avocado. They grow it themselves. The fresh version is delicious. The avocado smoothie menu is also delicious. The owner takes care of it very well.Accommodation near the viewpoint 102 103 104, just a short walk away, very convenient, high up, a little difficult to drive. But the view is very beautiful.The day we went we encountered heavy rain and strong winds. We thought we would be wet or cold. But his tent is strong. Cold outside but warm inside. Sleep comfortably. The duvet is very warm.

Accommodation on Doi Pha Tang It's close to viewpoint 102-103, about 1 kilometer. The way up the mountain is quite far. You must drive around to avoid the steep road. You can ask the owner of the property for directions. The accommodation has a very beautiful view. You can clearly see the fog at the end of the rainy season and beginning of winter. The price is not expensive. Breakfast is provided along with free drinks in the morning. The food is delicious. The owner is cute and provides good, attentive service, but secretly deducts points from the fact that the accommodation is a tent. When we went the tent was already quite old. There are quite a lot of mold spots. Didn't make it in time for the new tent. The bathroom has a lot of insects and is very dark. I would like to add more lights that would be great. (However, you can ask the accommodation about tents first.)

The view is very good and the owner takes very good care of it. Go to one room and still have a full breakfast. There is fresh coffee provided in the morning. Importantly, ice is free. For drinkers, there will be tea upon check-in.

The boss and the landlady are attentive and warm in their hospitality. The room is clean, the food is fresh and delicious, and they are managed with care. It is very close to the spot where you can watch the sunrise.

Comfortable and peacefulThe boss is very friendly and can speak Mandarin. Chinese people who don’t understand Thai can also communicate.In the evening, you can ask the boss to arrange Thai hot pot. It is very rich and can satisfy 4 adults. If you like meat, you may want to ask the boss to order additional items, or you can buy it yourself at the foot of the mountain.The accommodation includes a simple breakfast. The meatballs are probably homemade by the owner and are delicious.In the morning, you can drive 1 kilometer further to the mountain to watch the sunrise at the border of Thailand and Myanmar.It may be a little cold at night, so you need to bring extra thick clothes for sleeping, or bring a thick quilt (because my brother and I sleep separately, there are 3 quilts in the room, and two quilts are enough to keep us warm, so if we sleep on the same bed, No problem, it’s warm enough)
