Buraphat | Resort in a Tolkien-esque landscape
Buraphat resort in Chiang Dao is a welcome retreat during the green season with an almost Hobbiton-like landscape. The lustre of the greenish hills and cotton candy clouds glueing themselves to the impressive Doi Luang peak is such solace for the eyes.
