Seven spectacular destinations for the rainy season -Pa Bong Piang, Chiang Mai

     Traveling in Thailand is always a joy, no matter the season. But if you're someone who enjoys exploring during the rainy season, then I have a hot-spot for you – Ban Pa Bong Piang in Chiang Mai. Known for its awe-inspiring terraced rice fields, this place is a must-visit during the rainy season to witness the mesmerizing shades of green. The location is set in Ban Pa Bong Piang in Mae Chaem district, Chiang Mai, and has become a must-see for many tourists during the wet season.

     Not only do you get a 360-degree panoramic view of these unusual terraced rice fields for those Instagrammable moments, but you also get to experience the charm of the small Pga K'nyau community. Here you can stay in local homestays, living the simple life just like the villagers – no air conditioning, no hot water, but incredibly tasty local cuisine to savor. It's the simplicity that city folks yearn for, and the pure, clean air will fill your lungs, giving you a break from city life.

     The best time to visit Ban Pa Bong Piang's terraced rice fields is divided into three periods. First up, between July to August, which is the planting season. You'll see the young plants beginning to grow, and the reflection of the rising and setting sun on the water is nothing short of magnificent. Next, between August to October, the terraces become lush green, and they are an absolute treat to the eyes. Finally, between late October and early November, the onset of winter coincides with the harvest season, painting the terraces in golden hues as the fields are ready for harvesting.

     Make some time to relax and rejuvenate in Ban Pa Bong Piang, Chiang Mai, and I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
