A Real Parent's Story

Camping in a pine forest felt like another country

My son asked if we were still in Thailand. Pine trees, cool mountain air, no mosquitoes. We cooked noodles over a campfire and he said it was the best night of his life.

Read full story

We drove 7 hours from Bangkok and it was worth every minute. Phu Soi Dao feels nothing like the rest of Thailand. The pine forest is straight out of a European postcard. We stayed one night in a tent and woke up to mist rolling through the trees. My 9-year-old wants to go back every year.

Nate, dad of 1 from Bangkok
