While searching for Airbnbs in Chiang Mai, we stumbled upon this charming homestay called Lucklub, nestled within what the description called an artists’ village, just 7 km from the city center. The name ‘Baan Kang Wat’ was mentioned in the description, and it was a place I had never heard of before! Curiously enough, I
