Now living some years in LOS, I think I have seen most of the hotspots here.

So what to do now ?

Then the idea of camping was lightening up.

I am trying to find farrang friendly places to go on camping, mainly in the north.  (I am not very happy about the public naturepark camps, with special farrang prices, 20 baht for a thai and 300 baht for a forreigner, not because of the money, more the princip, I do not feel welcome there under these ways of treating humans from outside Thailand) . Is there other here on the forum who have interest in sharing camping exploring. I already have found some very nice and friendly private camp places I will like to share with other, but could be good to get some input from other camping people to new camp places

Around Chiang Dao  there are many with basic to elaborate.  It's a great area to enjoy and explore.  Town is nothing special but all around it is .

This youtuber made a series of tent camping videos a few years ago, featuring campgrounds from various spots in northern Thailand.   You might search his channel for camp or camping.
