We had an unbelievable stay with Jittra and Gai. They were very welcoming, and after explaining, my sister has twisted her ankle recently. Gai adapted our trip to Tham Lod cave to make it possible for us both to visit this spectacular place. Gai is born and raised in Tham Lod , so as a guide, he is amazing, explaining in detail the history of the cave and the surrounding area with great pride and knowledge. By staying at their homested, we were able to visit the caves after the day tourists had left, and witnes the awsomme sight of the swifts returning to the cave and the bats going off into the night. Jittra also accompanied me to the Tuesday market where hill tribe people join together to sell their wares. She spent time explaining the different foods and spices. Jittra cooked us amazing food during our stay. Gai also does one to three day trecks, for more active guests (I wish I was ten years younger ) as his knowledge and good Engish speaking skills would make these trips fabulous. I really would recommend staying for at least 2 nights to take a tour with Gai rather than doing a long arduous day trip from Pai with a guide who doesn't have the knowledge and enthusiasm of Gai. We hope to return one day.

We had a really good time here. Food, cottage, people, tour through the cave - everything was perfect.

Unfortunately too short there

Jittra & Gai are excellent hosts. We arrived shortly before midday and were treated to a special meal. Which, by the way, was very plentiful and good. The breakfast is very varied and recommendable. The rooms are very new and relaxing, very clean and well maintained. We have rarely experienced such good bathroom equipment. A luxury to find everything like this. Jittra & Gai can also provide useful tips. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend the short detour there. The nearby cave can be reached on foot. We saw the spectacle in the evening when thousands of swallows returned to the cave. Absolutely recommendable!

Everything was great

We really appreciated the friendlyness and professionnalism of hosts, their knowledges about the local life and nature their passion to share it. We highly recommend to do a trek with them and not just sleep at the Homestay which is also very clean and comfy.

I would stay here again in a heartbeat. In future the accommodation could benefit from a fridge in the room, better parking space for the scooter and more control over shower temperature.

Gai and his wife are wonderful cheerful people with a lot of knowledge about the area. The little “cottage” is brand new and spotless. The village is lovely and the campfire at night in the garden very cosy. The food menu is very complete and taste very good (and most items can be made vegetarian). Even better fare is just a five minute walk away at Nongluk restaurant.

Close to tourist attractions. Possibility to eat very well anytime on site as well as possibility to organize guided tours, visits, transportation, transfers, motorbike rentals, etc. Our best homestay during our 1-month trip.

A real home feeling. I was so happy to find this place after traveling in North of Thailand by motorcycle, it was warm, cozy and super clean, super new. The view is serene. Good breakfast. But the most important were the hosts. I just loved them while we were talking about local things to do, traditions and culture. Thanks, guys. Few days after I got back to Koh Samui I am still happy when thinking about you and your place.
