tonight we're staying in a star dome just outside of chiang mai
in the jungle it's the first time in a long time that we've slept under the stars
and it's also the first time anyone has slept in one of these brand new star domes we can't wait
going uphill ah i'm gonna fall off
we just checked in they gave us a little tea i thought it was actually coconut juice but
was it was it like a coconut tea or something it tasted like a sweet green tea but like a really
sweet green tea could have been some coconut in there i didn't get a hint of coconut maybe
my taste buds are just all over the place this place looks so so nice look at the view from here
the pool the pool is here and it's open and there's a few layers to the pool as well
wow this is so nice there's a seating area here where you can sit kind of hanging off the edge
the pool looks so nice from here yeah oh you can see the place that is staying up there
i just spotted where we're staying so oh my god right up here hold on i'll turn
the camera around is where we're staying we're staying can you see those up there
hello we're staying up yeah oh we're staying in one of those which to be honest with you when we
booked it i didn't quite realize what location it would have but it looks like it's sort of above
everything else around this area the view from there is going to be spectacular
yeah now you won't believe this but they've just told us we are the first people
ever to stay in this stardom yeah so you guys are seeing something no one's ever seen before
we thought we were going to be one of the first but they literally told us no one else yeah no
one else has slept in them before so i think some people have checked them out potentially
you know for promotional reasons but i don't think anyone's ever slept in these places that's
so cool that's crazy another golf cart now yeah because as you can see earlier it's quite far away
the grounds are massive in this hotel and we're literally quite very literally in the jungle we're
going up to the top now it's getting really steep as well i can see the dots wow they're so cute
oh they're so sweet
we made it beautiful oh absolutely gorgeous this hotel is so big
look at that view
shoes off
oh that looks very comfortable wow this is so nice look at that
thank you thank you oh my god i did not see the bathtub
there's a shower in here i can see the the bathroom there's like a small bathroom but
there's a bathtub okay we're gonna give you the proper tour in just a second let us just
welcome welcome welcome
as you come in you're greeted with this brand new bathroom and it's got pretty much everything you
would expect and everything's brand new because we are the first people in here
that's pretty decent size as well look at this
like i'm 5 11. they give us a complimentary minibar which does come with beers yeah
got some water cokes and some instant noodles some crisps and tea and coffee the bed actually looks
extremely comfortable because it's very much of a camping situation or shall i say glamping because
there's nothing camping vibes about this this bed looks so nice so i just have to check it out very
quick real quick real quick oh it is firm it's firm but but nice all the pillows pillows good
oh they're actually quite nice they're really nice yeah oh approved approved oh so what you also have
in this lovely little star dome is a little table and seats to stay at because the view is actually
breathtaking but we'll get onto the little viewing platform in just a second because it gets even
better this room also comes with a little sort of entertainment station so you've got a tv
a speaker and on top of all of that because you're like wait electrics yes so there's plugs
pretty much everywhere in this little glamping dome there is air conditioning there is a fan
fully working flowing water all of that kind of stuff which is
not really what you would expect in a kind of a camping situation and then this is something
you definitely wouldn't expect yeah and then it's got a closet dressing gowns i mean all the
towels all of that kind of stuff that you'd need lights are pretty much everywhere because first
when i came in i thought it's going to be really dark here at night but there actually are hidden
lights here and there that you can turn on but i think the peace the resistance of this place is
definitely the gorgeous view now we're going to show you what's on the outside of this star dome
you can just hear the nature are those the um cicadas how do you even say that
i thought it's circadas circadas oh maybe i don't know i don't know
so out here you've got your own very own own very own you've got your own bath that's a huge tree
that's crazy but i mean this is quite literally like a bath in nature
it's got enough things around you to kind of close you off from everyone else so there's no one
gonna you know no one's seeing you it's still low enough to see the view when you're in the bath so
we may actually have to do this yeah and then you've got some some lovely little deck chairs
i would probably personally move this here so you can face out looking at all of this beautifulness
so you may be able to hear some rumblings in the background there is definitely a thunderstorm
coming which kind of makes this even more exciting just because that means it might be pouring with
rain and we might be able to see all the lightning tonight because when it storms in thailand
it storms so we'll see if that happens but also there's so many clouds in the sky will
we even be able to see any stars tonight no we just got changed into our pool gear but as
we were doing that someone knocked on the door and they came in with some complimentary yeah
fruit which is really nice i i love it when they do this we were like who's come all the
way up here to knock on our door like we have we totally just arrived um but that's really
really nice and before you ask no we couldn't just jump on his car on the way back down
because he was on a scooter so to get around here you have to make use of the golf carts
there's you can walk and it's beautiful so if you kind of wanted to stretch your legs
a little bit more and you had some proper shoes walking around the grounds would be
really really nice maybe not in the rain but to get around otherwise you have to use a golf
cart it's quite steep here it's very steep um we asked if we could use our bike and he was like
no uh so you cannot drive your bike around the ground which makes complete sense now we're gonna
eat these fruits and then we're gonna go down to that pool because it looks absolutely amazing
we've been in the pool for about 5-10 minutes now it's actually really nice
this one's perfect temperature there's a few other pools up there i hope you can hear me there's some
bugs or something making a really loud noise here i'm not actually sure what that is but it sounds
like drilling but it's definitely not drilling there's loads of people up there just chilling
with their children that's a bit of a smaller pool up there and we're just chilling here
what more can you ask for got a couple of drinks and we're gonna chill by the pool
here for a bit and then hopefully by the time we get back to our room it'll start
going a bit darker so maybe we'll see some stars if these clouds go away if not hopefully it'll
thunderstorm we'll see otherwise it'll still be a nice night anyway it's really nice up there
we just settle down for the night now we can't wait to turn the lights off
in this absolutely amazing star dome and see if we can see some stars tonight even now with the
lights on it's really really beautiful because you can see all the lights from the village just below
where we have this gorgeous panoramic view over oh this is just the most peaceful place we might
not have to put the tv on we'll just yeah we're just gonna look at the window play some music
and it sounds like it's raining sometimes but it's just small insects trying to come into our
room but it's actually not not too bad in terms of insects on the inside no no and we do have a
big mosquito net but i think that'll obviously obscure our view but if you were kind of like
oh i don't want the bugs then that would be a good thing but i think now when we turn the
lights off it'll definitely help with the bugs yeah we've got breakfast tomorrow down at the
restaurant so we'll show you that when we wake up yeah so we'll see you tomorrow bye good night
good morning from the gorgeous star dome here at panama spa resort in chiang mai
well just outside of chiang mai in the jungle we have just woken up and we actually slept
okay and there's a couple of reasons for that because we were the first people to
ever stay here normally you would expect some teething problems nothing really to note in
regards to that there was nothing that was wrong nothing that didn't really function properly
they've thought everything out really really well the one thing that i'll note though is even though
the curtains close all the way around the dome the large circle at the top that's also clear
you can't cover that up which if you're a light sleeper like myself might wake you up when the
sun comes up but if you do get up with the sun that'll be perfect for you i've just made some
lovely coffees with a little mini bar that they have here and dylan's already outside enjoying
the sunshine and the good thing about staying in one of these star domes is that you're virtually
already outside so i'm just gonna pop out and sit with dylan and enjoy this beautiful morning
thank you
it's so nice to be able to wake up in the middle of the jungle here with this absolutely amazing
view right in front of us yeah it's perfect it's very similar to camping obviously because it's
yeah it's basically glamping so when you get outside straight away and you can just hear
the nature is so nice it's lovely one thing though for me these beds are a little bit too hard
they're more thai style beds rather than spongy comfortable beds i mean i think a lot of people
find these really comfortable but for me they're also a little bit too firm but it is a proper bed
with a bed frame and everything so even though it's camping it's very very much luxurious
we're gonna call down to go for breakfast in about 10 minutes after we finish this coffee
normally the breakfast here is buffet style but because there's such few people staying here
right now i think he said that there's 10 people in the hotel in total right now it's going to be
a la carte which is really nice because that means we can choose exactly what we want and it's fresh
yeah and it's going to be fresh so we'll show you exactly what that's like cheers
our food just got here but you may be wondering how much we paid for everything here and it was
four thousand five hundred thai bars which is around 105 pounds but we'll put that
conversion on the screen but that includes everything the full experience you get
breakfast you get the mini bar that was complimentary
and you get the well you get to use the whole facilities of this five-star resort and of course
you get to stay in a beautiful stardom if you've enjoyed this video please give us a thumbs up and
