The Evolution of 'Camp Mai Mee Chue' in Chiang Mai
A small family-run glamping site in Mae Rim has grown from a simple dream into a popular nature retreat, preserving local history along the way.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, 'Camp Mai Mee Chue' (The Unnamed Camp) in the Pong Yaeng sub-district of Mae Rim, Chiang Mai, has marked seven years of operation. Founded by a couple named Sam and Aum, the site was originally a lychee and longan orchard belonging to Aum’s father. The property still features a small, preserved rice mill that serves as a historical centerpiece for the location.
The project began modestly seven years ago when the founders placed a rooftop tent on a Volkswagen Beetle to offer a unique camping experience. Following positive feedback from both domestic and international visitors, the site gradually expanded into a glamping resort. The founders emphasize that the development was driven by a desire to provide a space for people to escape urban chaos and reconnect with nature.
For travelers and residents, this site represents a blend of agricultural heritage and modern tourism. It highlights the trend of repurposing family farmland into boutique hospitality venues in Northern Thailand. While the report notes the site's growth and its current status as a warm, established resort, specific details regarding the total number of available rooms and current booking procedures were not fully detailed in the source. Prospective visitors are encouraged to verify current availability directly through the establishment.
