Mae Hong Son (แม่ฮ่องสอน) - During my recent trip to Mae Hong Son province in northern Thailand, we had a chance to visit Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย), which is a gorgeous Chinese Yunnanese village in the mountains.
It’s a very famous tourist destination, especially for Thais because of the amazing scenery in the remote mountains, preserved Chinese culture, and the tea fields. During our time in Ban Rak Thai (บ้านรักไทย) we stayed at Lee Wine Rak Resort (ลีไวน์รักไทยรีสอร์ท), one of the most famous hotels / tea resorts in the village. It’s also extremely picturesque with Chinese style villas going up the side of the mountain and the tea fields. In this video I’m going to give you a full tour of our tea resort hotel room!
Small room - 2,900 THB ($86.94) per night
Big room - 4,700 THB ($140.89) per night
I thought rates were a bit on the expensive side. But that's probably because we went during high season in the winter.
We also had a breakfast that that was served buffet style and included scrambled eggs with tea leaves - that was a first for me!

There's SO much "coffee culture" in Chiang Mai now, it's good to see some old school Tea culture up north west! Nice place, even though the sinks (!?) Love to spend an afternoon at the tea shop!
My plan to visit next time . Thanks for sharing Mark 💖

Really beautiful area Mark and Ying and of course Micah
Such a bright and idillic place. The view from the hills of the village around the lake with the low morning mist feels so peaceful and relaxing. I absolutely adore northern Thailand and I may have to add a visit to Ban Rak village to my next trip.

I love the room. I would enjoy visiting the tea shops. That black and tea In the room was so beautiful. That would make a great visit. I love the different teas. 🍵🍵🍵🍵🏝️
Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed the exotic atmosphere and beautiful villa. I went to this village with my local guide from Mae Hong Son, and just stopped over my lunch, and tea, I walked around myself...Hopefully, I'll revisit it again. I went to another Chinese village from Pai, also a cool place, with a Chinese temple and the Chinese zodiac of murals.
wow mark i love ur travel and also all the foods u eat
Mark....happy to see you back...😊🙏
Beautiful and unique, great video thank you for sharing it with us. Blessings Livity Love Oneness everyone 😊🙏❤💚💛🌠
Thank you for this review Mark. I tried to look at availability but nothing comes up unfortunately. Fingers crossed the place is open for bookings again soon. It looks amazing.
I just love your channel....showing love all the way from Texas..
Excellent it looks really beautiful. Maybe it was more expensive due to Chinese New Year and people taking breaks for this holiday, and enjoying additional lantern decorations around the resort, looked so lovely.
the tea plantation in Chiang Rai reminds me of Mae Salong. there are several other KMT villages in Chiang Mai established by the Yunnanese migrants including the one on the road to Doi Angkhang. some of them have a tour of their villages and Doi Angkhang also offers the traditional Yunnanese cuisine.
Sri Lanka also offers this kind of resort overlooking the green tea plantations in the form of the colonial bungalows including the traditional English hi-tea meal serving scones with jam and clotted cream, sandwiches and macaroons. the famous Dilmah tea brand offers this kind of resort programme. if you are in Nuwara Eliya, you can stay at a hotel overlooking the majestic Ramboda Waterfall.
Hi Mark Wiens you should go to El Salvador 👍🏼 we have watched your videos for many years and your videos cheer me up .

Welcome to Thailand.
I'd like watching your video. You traveling in Thailand more than me. I'm Thai and living in Thailand.😄😄😄
Salute to all of the people living in this area, it is such beautiful place to live. I hope one day I can live on that kind of environment too, not a busy town or city...
Enjoyed video
Miss your resort/villa style of vlog 👋🏻
Beautiful place
So beautiful
8am is just right, not late
Oh So Beautiful 😍
Beautiful village
Beautiful !!
Hi Mark, I absolutely love your videos. You always give the entire experience which enhances each of your videos! Thank you. I notice many times when you say "breakfast" it's usually more main dish meals (ex. Noodles, rice, curries, etc.) that in Western Culture may be more likely to be ate at lunch or dinner. Is this the norm for "Asian" culture? (Please note that I mean no disrespect using a blanket phrase (ex. Asian, I just know that it seems that far beyond Thailand has this same practice). I hope you and your family are enjoying your travels and are safe. Also, as you've been traveling does the protocol for quarantine seem more extreme or relaxed outside of Thailand (other Asian providences) or coming into the US.

Love the video
looks great
Happy Chinese new year 🐯
Thank you Mark. I would like to take my Dad to this place
Alltid lærerikt, sann glede, så all vel til familien Wiens
I like tea plantation there in Baan Rak Thai 4 sure.
You don't even have to speak Mark ,your drone and footage speaks volumes ,the views are lovely .But the food we need you .But if that's a bed test pass i'm a giraffe ,just saying 🤦♂️😁This coffee thing does make me laugh 🙄😁Sorry.I still love you and the family 🙏
What a cute place!!!!
Beautiful place 💪🏽
The ride up is real interesting ....
Well, now I have to travel to Thailand/Ban Rak Thai and try number 17 Oolong Tea !
This addiction will never stop!
If I ate as much as this man does, I would be a balloon by now. I admire your appetite and the way you manage your body's metabolism and weight sir.
Awesome!!!
Good morning n God bless everyone 🙏❤💛💚
hey mark. have you ever thought of doing a channel that displays the content from the main channel, this ome, big on spice, etc from the trip in one long video? i would love to sit down and watch a 1 to 2, even 3 hr video of your trip if it was an option!
I like the water view but I would never pay that much for a big room. Very nice boat rides.
Hey Mark there's a woman in your room haha hello family it's always good to see Superwoman and Mikey
Damn Mark, you really make me want to go back to Thailand! I really didn’t do it justice the 1 time I went. The food is extraordinary with only Indian cuisine coming ahead of it (IMO). What a beautiful village and equally beautiful food, thanks man 🤟🤟🤟
$140 seems kind of expensive for thailand, that should include tours etc… that tea looked yum what an amazing resort, i thought you were still in the us haha
10:33 would make a beautiful painting
It's been 5 years ever since i did not come here and finally i GET TO VISIT MY GRANDMA
Dear Mark.
We Love all of your channels!!!
Our only suggestion is to Slow Down a bit. Relax.
Please also show us a bit more of your lovely wife and son (if they are willing)
Again we so much enjoy your videos,
Thank you!!!
"If its not spicy I am not eating"
Haha 👍👍👍👍
Go to the Himalayan tea houses Mark!
Haiiiiiiii mark🙋♂️
Other places are 9-20 dollars a night
Then pay 20 baht entrance to see tea plantation
I bet at night it would be beautiful!!!!!
The house you stay can be my lifelong house. Excellent design and functions. ❤️💖
7:14 MYSTICAL VIEW!!
Good morning 🌄
I'd think i'd pay the extra and get the top view for sure.
Thanks, Mark for sharing this beautiful place. When is the best time to visit? How far from Bangkok?
This place is north of Chiang mai not close to Bangkok at all
I was there in Dec 2021 (winter season) and this is the best time to visit. However, there are lots of people driving their 4x4 from all over Thailand to come here here during this season too. To book this resort in the video and the Chasa resort (the 2 best resorts here), you will need to call and book months in advance. If not, there are many basic guest houses that you have to book by calling them in advance. I was almost stranded in Ban Rak Thai without an accommodation because I didn't book in advance. Although there is a walking street, but it was basically empty when I got there. Mark also missed out showing the Mookata spot along the lake on the other side of Lee Wine Rak Thai resort (walking street side). IMO, 1 night is enough as there is nothing to do after dinner and there are no entertainments there.
Thank you Delson and Effie for sharing.
@@delsonchong Hi there thanks for all the information but how can I call resort if I do not speak Thai???no other way to book??
@@effie-montreal For Lee Wine Rak Thai resort and Chasa resort, they have a booking website for foreigners. They should have a number to call and they can speak very simple English.
For the mid-range guest houses, you can open up Google map and do a search, some have a number to call. They probably cannot speak English.
As for the budget guest houses, they are not on any websites and some may not even have a number to call. I stayed at a budget guest house and it cost 850 Baht.
