After a 2-hour flight from Singapore to Bangkok and another 1-hour flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, and a 2-hour ride from Chiang Mai International Airport, we finally arrive at Lisu Lodge. Pictured above is the bar at Lisu Lodge, where we are served our welcome drinks.

Our first meal at Lisu Lodge – Fried Spring Rolls, Clear Chicken Soup, Paneang Curry, and Mixed Vegetables. Thai cooking at its best!

A shot of the opposite house at the lodge. The blurry movement in the picture is that of guests and local children doing a traditional Lisu dance.
