Morning Star Glamping

Morning Star Glamping sits far enough from the city — 38.7 km from the Old City centre and 41.6 km from Chiang Mai International Airport — that guests arrive expecting mountains, not moats and temples, and that's exactly what they get. This five-star glamping resort scores 9 out of 10 from 243 reviews, perched near Mae Kampong, one of the most photographed highland villages in the whole province. Uncle Kham has always thought Mae Kampong's mist and pine air make it feel like a different country from the city below, and Morning Star Glamping leans hard into that feeling with glass-walled cabins built to frame it.

Getting to Morning Star Glamping

This is a genuine journey, not a side trip — 38.7 km from the Old City and 41.6 km from the airport means guests should plan on a couple of hours' drive each way, winding up through Mae On district as the road climbs. Free WiFi is available once you arrive, useful for guests who want to share the view without losing connection entirely. A coffee shop on-site means the first stop after check-in doesn't have to be a search for caffeine.

Rooms & What to Expect

Four distinct cabin styles are on file, each built to make the most of the setting. The Kissing Star is the most generously sized at 135 square metres with two queen beds and a mountain outlook, suited to two couples or a family wanting real room to spread out. The Glass Cabin, 60 sqm with a sofa bed, shares that same mountain outlook in a more compact, romantic footprint — Uncle Kham's pick for a couple who wants the view to be the main event. The Timber Chalet, also 135 sqm and sleeping across three king beds and three single beds, looks out over the river rather than the mountains, a good fit for a larger group. The A Frame Glass, 90 sqm with a queen bed, completes the range with its own river-facing outlook and the same glass-walled design that gives the whole property its character.

Amenities & Facilities

A hot tub is among the confirmed facilities here — a genuine highlight after a day spent walking the hills around Mae Kampong — alongside a family room option and in-house entertainment for evenings when guests would rather stay in than brave the mountain roads after dark. A tour service and massage service are both available through the property, and gardens tie the whole site together. Daily housekeeping and air conditioning are both confirmed among what guests loved most about staying here.

What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life

Morning Star Glamping's real draw is right outside the door. Mae Kampong Village is just 1.54 km away, a UNESCO-recognised model community of wooden houses stacked along a mountain stream — genuinely one of the loveliest walks in the province. Mon Teen Tok Camping Resort sits 1.66 km off, and Saiton Resort 2.08 km, both worth knowing about even if you're not staying there. Mae Kampong Waterfall, 2.24 km away, is the natural centrepiece of the whole area, and a health-promoting hospital in Ban Pang Hai, Tambon Thep Sadet, 5.02 km away, is a useful marker for anyone travelling with family and wanting to know help isn't far. For the city's classic sights, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar is 37.5 km away, Art in Paradise 37.86 km, Tha Phae Gate 38.11 km, Wat Chedi Luang 38.84 km, and Wua Lai Walking Street 38.9 km — all a genuine day trip rather than a casual outing from up here.

Dining

No specific on-site restaurant is confirmed, though the coffee shop covers the basics for a slow mountain morning. Most guests build meals around Mae Kampong village itself, a short drive or hike away, where small local kitchens serve the kind of home cooking that doesn't make it onto any menu in the city.

Other Hotels Nearby

For guests comparing options around Mae Kampong, Cliffver sits just 0.1 km away at four stars with an 8.4/10 score. La Lanna, 0.3 km off, offers a similar four-star alternative at 8.6/10. A little further at 0.6 km, My Cottage matches Morning Star Glamping's five-star tier with a 9.3/10 score — worth a look for guests wanting a slightly different style of stay in the same mountain setting.

Guest Reviews

Staff service leads the category breakdown at 9.7 out of 10 against a city average of 9 — a strong result for a property this remote, where good service takes real effort to deliver consistently. Location scores 8.8 against an average of 8.1, a solid mark that reflects how much guests value the Mae Kampong setting itself despite the distance from the city. Cleanliness, facilities, and value for money all score exactly 9 out of 10, each sitting comfortably above their respective city averages of 8.9, 8.8, and 8.4.

Good to Know

A breakfast-included room plan is available, and free WiFi covers the property despite the remote setting. Guests should factor the long journey each way into their planning, and a coffee shop on-site helps soften the trip.

Morning Star Glamping isn't for guests wanting the Old City on their doorstep. It's for those chasing mist over Mae Kampong's hillsides, a glass cabin with a mountain or river outlook, and the kind of quiet that only exists a couple of hours from anywhere else.
