Escape the city and stargaze at Lan Phan Dao

If you're tired of car exhaust, honking horns, and relentless deadlines, take a moment to let nature embrace you. You might just fall in love with this place like we did... Lan Phan Dao Camping – Ban Hai Tak, Phu Ruea District, Loei Province The name itself is already romantic, isn't it? But it's not just a pretty name. This is a real place where you can sleep under a vast sky and gaze at a star-filled night without any city lights to obscure the view 🌌 It took us just about an hour's drive from Loei city to get here. The road leading to the village is peaceful, passing through fields and mountains until you reach a small hilltop area. Here, you can choose between staying in a house or a tent. Whether you're coming with your partner, friends, or even solo, it's all possible. The first thing you'll notice upon arrival is the amazing air quality! It's cool without needing air conditioning. Take a deep breath, and you'll feel your lungs instantly refreshed. The view in front of you is a series of overlapping mountains with a light mist drifting lazily, like a painting. There are various accommodation options – if you prefer a more comfortable stay, we recommend the Phan Dao House or Ing Dao House. They come with cozy bedding, private bathrooms, and plenty of Instagram-worthy spots. But if you're after a true camping vibe, the A and B camping tents are great choices. They're clean, equipped with warm bedding, and you'll be surrounded by the sounds of nature all night (think wind and birds, not neighbors arguing like in city condos, haha). Don't miss the evening experience – they offer small barbecue sets for grilling. Imagine grilling pork on the rooftop of your house while sipping warm cocoa and watching the sunset. It's the kind of simple joy that makes you smile without needing Wi-Fi. The highlight of this place is, of course, the nighttime – a sky full of stars like you've never seen in the city! Whether you're stargazing quietly with someone special or sitting alone in silence, you won't feel lonely (but do bring a jacket; it gets really chilly). Overall, Lan Phan Dao is a small camping spot that's not luxurious but incredibly charming. Everything feels warm and homey. The locals are lovely, and the atmosphere is truly slow-paced. If you're looking for a place to rest your heart and escape the digital world for a night, this is the answer 💚
