Phu Thara Chiang Mai has bubble domes & outdoor bathtubs


Nature has the power to soothe our souls, and create a calm atmosphere for our worries to melt away. If we’re mainly living in urban areas to work or experience Bangkok’s nightlife at its finest, we may sometimes feel pretty much disconnected from tranquility.

Regardless or your personal experiences, if you’re looking for a locale to break away from your metropolis for a few days, we got you.

Phu Thara Klang Dong in Chiang Mai has bubble domes & outdoor bathtubs that let you retreat and isolate yourself from chaos for a week.

Exploring the resort, you’ll expect to see natural features, such as towering trees, streams, mini-waterfalls, and meadows, that will help you find peace after you’ve cleared up the piled-up clutter from work.

Maybe, just wading through this stream and listening to the water falling could help you relax for the rest of the day.

Alternatively, you can spend your leisure time lying on this loft net with a 180° view of the forested hills ahead and watch the clouds roll by with your significant other in the evening, while looking forward to the gleam of the sunsets reflecting off these mountains.

Besides the gorgeous outdoor views, the indoor amenities might also keep you inside throughout the day.

For those who like gazing at the horizon in open spaces, you should check out these domes with mountain views at ฿1,990 (~USD60)/night with breakfast or ฿2,590 (~USD78) for an air-conditioned option. However, both rooms come with outdoor tubs, pleasing people who love soaking in a bath amidst the wilderness.

In this zone, guests will have broad views of rolling green hills that lie ahead of the dome with thin mist floating by once in a while.

Inside the dome, there’s a king-sized bed sitting on a wooden pallet that offers roomy space for couple guests. On the left side, you can spot a small plant and a miniature shelf with provided towels and a bottle of water.

Furthermore, you can also pick this bubble dome by the stream at ฿2,290 (~USD69)/night, a price which includes breakfast. We think it’s a great choice for those who wish to indulge in a peaceful stay in the dense jungle with a stream flowing by in front of your dome.


A nature getaway at Phu Thara Klang Dong 


So, if life in a city is too stressful for you, it would be helpful to find a place to take a break for a few days. And as you’ve read above, nature getaways allow you to bask in the best of nature to de-stress and focus on your inner zen.

Phu Thara is located near the Mae Sa Mai community, which is about a 1-hour drive from central Chiang Mai. If you can drive your own car, you might need to pass this area, and we suggest that you drive carefully because the roads are winding and narrow.
