Ne La Mit in Chiang Mai has bubble villas
Outdoor camping is gonna be a struggle, no matter how “relaxing” people make it out to be. Hence, glamping options are on the rise in Thailand. These sites allow people to get close to nature’s gifts without having to deal with the dirt and dust.
One of our top-picks for glamping is Ne La Mit in Mae Kampong, Chiang Mai. It’s an American-style glamp-site with bubble villas that have private terraces and outdoor bathtubs.
Let’s see what else this glam campsite has to offer.

Located in the north of Thailand and being high up in the hills, the weather at Ne La Mit is cool throughout most of the year. Temperatures drop as low as 20°C at night, even in the summer.
So, those who couldn’t show off their winter outfits on their since-cancelled overseas trips can make use of them at this glampsite.

The bright minds behind the establishment seemed to have built it with the United States in mind – the campsite resembles places like Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe.
Also, each bubble is named after a state known for their abundant natural resources and parks such as: Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Alaska, and Montana.

The decor inside each bubble is also unmistakably American. The emphasis on cozy-ness with fuzzy blankets, throw pillows and faux-fur-everything takes each person who enters the room onto a set of a Hallmark Christmas film.

With only a total of five rooms with partitions in between them, your privacy is guaranteed. So, you can enjoy amenities like your transparent bubble dome and outdoor bathtub to your heart’s content.

There’s even an electric fireplace where you can sip cocoa and re-create that scene from your favourite holiday movies.

There is also an outdoor bathtub situated on each room’s private wooden terrace for you to dip in while listening to the sound of a trickling stream nearby. If you wanna get closer to the sound, you can get there by simply walking down the steps located at the side of each room.

A night in one of these bubbles starts at ฿5,990 (~USD180) and can go up to ฿6,990 (~USD215) per night for two people, depending on the view you get from each terrace. Children with ages under nine can stay at the hotel for free – limited to only one child per room.

The price includes breakfast for two, which is, of course, going to be cooked American-style. You can enjoy the treats at the hotel’s cafe.

A “winter” getaway in Thailand
We’ve spent the past months sitting in our air-conditioned rooms to avoid Bangkok’s heat as well as the effects of the current situation.
While it’s preferable to sit in the AC as opposed to in the sun, relaxing on a chilly mountain in a green forest and listening to the running streams nearby sounds a better option than both of them.
Ne La Mit is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city with little touches of exclusivity for your comfort.
