The perfect combination of wilderness and village life

It felt like another world up in the hills, and only 30 minutes from Chiang Rai airport (you can request a pickup or drop-off from the owner). This homestay has a great shared dining area by the river, and i really enjoyed sitting by the bonfire at night. You can walk to nearby Huai Mae Sai waterfall or Doi bo mountain viewpoint, spend some time in the village (just down the road from the homestay) and maybe even learn a few things about Lahu and Akha culture if you are curious. I loved being in a real village, not a place designed for tourists. I didn’t expect to discover a completely different side of Thailand here, but i’m so happy i did. The father and son running the homestay are very kind, and their small dogs and cats are adorable.

Very dirty and stinking place. Overpriced for what we got. We ran away after first night, even though we paid for 2 nights.

Je recommande !

Incroyable spot non loin de la cascade, près d'un ruisseau Les repas préparés étaient super bon et généreux ! La famille a été très accueillante ! J'ai adoré les animaux, adorable ! J'ai pas hésité à prolonger mon séjour de 3 jours :)

La chambre manquait un peu de nettoyage à mon arrivée notamment de la poussière.

La famille qui tient ce logement est très sympa et très accueillante. On a pu arriver plus tôt que prévu dans la journée. C'est au bord de la rivière, et leur salon extérieur est très agréable, au milieu des arbres. Il y a un cascade et un point de vue à faire à pied depuis le logement, qui valent le détour.

Rien, tout était top

CZSmrtováTravelled with family · Mar 236.0

Krásný výhled, východ slunce přímo do postele. Tradiční vesnice obyvatel kmene Aka a Lahu.Blízko na vodopád ve kterém se dá vykoupat. Krásná příroda a klid. Velmi pěkná kavárna 100 m.

Bungalovy mají už něco za sebou. Některé jsou zateklé od dešťů, ale ty se nepronajímají.
