Chiang Dao Nest History pt. 2
We came on holiday to North Thailand in January 2002. We were in Chiang Mai thinking that the reason we had come to the North was to be in a remote mountain area, next to nature, not in the middle of another city. We looked at the Lonely Planet and decided to try Chiang Dao. Initially we called the Chiang Dao Hill Resort, but that was out of our budget range so we gambled on going to Malee's Nature Lovers Bungalows. We intended staying for two days and ended up staying for ten! Malee's hospitality was great and the place was beautiful and quiet, perfect for us.

Towards the end of our stay it came up in conversation that the neighbouring piece of land might be available. We took about a minute to decide that we would buy it if possible. We just wanted to stay here for longer, and we thought we might be able to make a living, and that Joseph (our son) would enjoy growing up here. Sure enough things worked out and on Joseph's first Birthday deposits were paid and we committed ourselves to moving here.

Between January and September we packed in our jobs, sold lots of our posessions in England, decorated the house in Norwich for renting, and said lots of sad farewells to friends and family. (We now have a nice place for them all to come on holiday though!).
In Thailand Wicha's family and Malee were a great help in making arrangements in our absence. We flew back to Thailand in the middle of September, the end of the rainy season. On November 9th 2002 Chiang Dao Nest opened!! Six bungalows available for rent, plus a larger one for us to live in, a toilet / shower block and a restaurant/ office all constructed on what was an overgrown longan plantation barely a month previous. Wicha has to take great credit for organising two teams of builders an electrician/ plumber and various other workers.
