I've been a bad blogger and went MIA again in the beginning of this new year. Well, friends were in town and we decided to keep travelling. So, I went on a little adventure in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. And it was great. I loved being able to get to know the country more and experiencing new things. I took Thai cooking classes to be able to handle a wok like a pro. More on that coming up! Promise.
While browsing what was new in the Bangkok hospitality sector, I stumbled upon this and thought it was pure genius. If there is one main thing I can complain about in Bangkok, it's the lack of green. I know projects are in the works as I am not the first person to make this remark. Owner Joey Tulyanond was inspired by Henry David Thoreau's classic book Walden and created this urban resort called Bangkok Tree House in the "lung of Bangkok", a green area just off the Chao Phraya River. No air-con, no smoking, kitchen compost, bamboo structures and river cleaning program are just some of the features that make this new hotel stand out. With rooms/urban huts named "Tree House" and "Family Nest", this is all too tempting. Maybe a staycation is de rigueur.
