A Creative Collaboration: Lisu Lodge Through the Eyes of Local Artist

Illustration by: Monkey Number 4

It all started when we realized that Lisu Lodge isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to experience. We wanted our guests to not only relax in the natural beauty of our surroundings but to connect with the land and its rich culture. And what better way to do this than through the vibrant art of local creators? That's why we decided to take a creative leap and collaborate with talented artists who can tell their stories through stunning designs.

One of our most exciting projects this year was partnering with a local artist to create something truly special; an illustrated treasure map of Lisu Lodge. We wanted it to feel like a journey, an adventure that begins the moment you unfold it. Rather than a simple layout of paths and landmarks, this map brings to life the hidden gems, lush landscapes, and rich history of our community through colorful illustrations. It’s a piece of art you’ll want to keep, even after your stay.

The Creative Mind Behind the Map:

Khun Payut, the creative genius behind Monkey number 4, is a local artist whose work is as vibrant and full of life as the landscapes he loves to draw. His unique style blends playful, colorful illustrations with a deep connection to the land and culture around him. As a family-driven artist, Khun Payut draws inspiration not just from his environment but from the collective creativity of his loved ones.

When we first approached Khun Payut, we knew his fresh, fun, and distinctive style would be the perfect fit for our vision of a map that tells a story.

At Asian Oasis, supporting local talent is at the heart of everything we do. When we began thinking about this collaboration, Khun Payut was an obvious choice. Not only is he an incredibly skilled artist, but he also shares our passion for sustainability, cultural appreciation, and community. Working with Khun Payut felt like a natural fit for our commitment to providing an authentic and immersive experience for our guests.

But this project isn’t just about the art; it’s about creating a fun, unique experience for you. We wanted our guests to feel like the Lisu Lodge is more than just a place to stay, it’s a place to explore, to laugh, and to make memories. That’s why we chose a playful illustrated map as the perfect way to make your visit even more special!

Why It Matters: More Than Just a Map

This map isn’t just a tool for navigating our lodge, it’s a keepsake that captures the essence of Lisu Lodge and its vibrant community. Every guest who picks up a copy will be holding a piece of local art and a tangible connection to the land they’re visiting. It’s our way of ensuring that the magic of Lisu Lodge doesn’t just live in the moment but stays with you, long after you’ve left.

We’re incredibly excited to share this collaboration with Khun Payut and his family with all of you. The fun, illustrated map is just one of many ways we’re working to make Lisu Lodge feel like home with a little creativity and lots of heart. Whether you’re here for the first time or returning for another adventure, this map will guide you through the wonders of Lisu Lodge, helping you connect with the land, the people, and the stories that make this place so special.
