Doi Inthanon National Park – 5 BEST things to do on your visit
Doi Inthanon is a beautiful national park in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai. One of its most famous landmarks are the TWIN Pagodas overlooking the entire thailand atop Doi Inthanon the highest mountain in all of Thailand. Endearingly known as “The Roof of Thailand” – kind of reminds us of the part in Lion King – “Look Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom” . It’s perfect for a two or even three-day trip from Chiang Mai, Check out our top list of things to do in this incredible national park – Doi Inthanon
What to do in Pai?
Pai is a tiny town where life moves at such a slow pace, it might even frustrate the most laid-back traveler. However, if you look beyond the partying (which, let’s be honest, is hard to ignore), you’ll find the Pai that’s truly worth loving—the Pai that’s all about nature, and THIS is the Pai we love. It’s a place where we would emphasize the word “love” when we talk about it. It is. nestled in the mountains and surrounded by waterfalls, hiking trails, and stunning natural beauty. With only really a day here – we planned our itinerary around exploring the natural beauty of Pai, rather than the party scene. Yes, there’s the infamous “drunk tubing” with half-naked partygoers (and no, we didn’t take part in that!). Instead, we sought out the more serene side of Pai, visiting stunning waterfalls, canyons, and hot springs.

3 Best Cafes to work in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is a popular destination for digital nomads (DN) and remote workers, thanks to its relaxed atmosphere, affordable living, and excellent cafe culture. Recently, we joined the DN life – or at least try to identify as one. We find ourselves looking for cafes to work in but at the same time try not be “disrupt” their everyday business by hogging a table when it gets busy. Besides the most basic like WIFI connection and maybe a power socket, Here are 3 best cafes to work in Chiang Mai and the reasons they are perfect for getting work done:

Where We are Now
Why Chiang Mai? That’s a question we often get, especially when people imagine us lounging on tropical beaches.
Quitting But Sensibly
Quitting our jobs to start travel blogging and traveling the world wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision—it was something we carefully planned and executed over time. We wanted to make sure we did it right, optimizing not only for freedom and adventure but also for financial stability. So, before we handed in our resignation letters and set off on our global journey, we took a series of well-thought-out steps to ensure everything was aligned perfectly.
Starting from Zero
Starting from zero as an aspiring blogger or influencer can feel daunting, especially with no followers to boost your confidence. However, viewing this situation as an opportunity rather than a problem opens the door to endless possibilities. Each day without an established audience gives you the freedom to experiment with your content, refine your voice, and explore what truly resonates with you.
Starting from scratch - Look at this as an opportunity rather than a problem
