Beware that there a bar in the village which plays loud music all night long and also fireworks sometimes go off in the middle of the night. We were grateful to stay in the village but it was not as peaceful as expected. Also better communication from hosts would have been great. We were not shown around the property or explained about the common areas. For example we did not know about a coffee machine was available until the last morning when we heard another guest order an americano. Just a minor inconvenience, it was still a great value.

Many friendly cats and dogs on the property. Included breakfast was excellent and very generous. Diner was available for 100baht and the food was always delicious. Hosts were very kind. The family room was older in a concrete building with no views but other rooms are nicer, in bamboo bungalows and overlooking the river.

There are lots of cats and I’ve got a cat allergy 👀. There’s a church next door which is loud ! The room is cute but very dark. It was a bit confusion to always get food. But there’s a little shop in the village

The waterfall is close by, the river next to the property is lovely

Dirty bathroom, with urine stains on the toilet and dirty tiles on the walls at the shower. Garbage and construction left over everywhere. We avoided eating there because it really seemed unsanitary. With minimal effort from the staff this could be a great place.

The owners are nice and friendly. Beds were comfortable, with clean bed sheets.It has potential, it could be a great experience but ruined by neglect.

Common spaces are a little bit neglected. Also not obvious about what is included in the price.

The place is quite and very special. Room by the river with a balcony.

You really have to like camping, which we do, so no problem there.

Beautiful location, walking distance to a waterfall. The host, Tep, was so friendly and accommodating (also an excellent cook) that we really felt spoiled. We did a day hike up the hill, with Tep cooking us a gourmet meal partway through over an open fire inside of bamboo cooking containers. We walked home through farm fields and alongside water buffaloes. It was so incredible to see the way these folks live, up close and personal.

The place is a traditional bamboo and thatch Akha cottage. It is right on a burbling brook. Overall my experience was lovely and pleasant. For the price, you can't do better. And it is worth the stay just for the experience.

A bit cold during the night (January)

Beautifully placed within the mountains right next to a river, close to the waterfalls. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Owners offered dinner for 150BHT/person

This is the countryside so there are a few insects so maybe one to avoid if that really freaks you out.

Such a beautiful and peaceful location. Tep was very friendly. Just the right balance of traditional village life with some of the comforts you might expect. And amazing to have such a beautiful waterfall and view point just to myself.

Nothing

I highly recommend! A beautiful, authentic Homestay in a traditional bamboo hut nestled in the jungle above a fast flowing creek. My hut was very comfortable - soft mattress and soft pillows, mosquito net, ensuite with hot shower. A balcony to relax and watch the world (ie pigs, dogs, water buffalo) go by. The owner, Mr Thep, is a friendly, kind, knowledgeable local Lahu man. He was always willing to help and provided information, and organised transport when I needed it. He speaks English very well. This is his home, he has lived here with his father and delightful daughter for 20 years. They offer great food and beer, both very well priced (80-100baht) especially considering you are in the middle of a jungle. (There is also a lovely creek-side cafe that has great food 10 minutes walk away.) But don’t expect this Homestay to be like the facilities/conveniences of Chiang Rai, or compare it to a hotel (there are no taxis or Grab App in the jungle!) - it is so much more - this is a serene piece of paradise where you can disconnect, relax and enjoy the jungle and experience the simplicity and beauty of authentic village life. I really enjoyed my stay and laughed a lot! The ‘Land of Smiles’ has somehow come out the other side of covid still smiling. And so am I. To do: - 20 minute walk through the jungle (steps) to the refreshing Mae Sai waterfall. Highly recommend going in for a dip - the water gets deep after a few steps in. The waterfall itself provides a chilly, powerful massage! - If you want more of a challenge take the (very) steep walk up (3.7km) to the Doi Bo Viewpoint - ‘Sea of Mist Yafu’ - If you aren’t quite up for the climb to the Viewpoint you can turnoff at the halfway mark and visit Ban Yafu Village. It’s a photographer’s delight. - Take an easy walk to Akha Village (2.

A bamboo built camp just above a gurgling river, breath-taking. You really get the jungle feeling!

the owner seems to be lack of helpers to make some better cleaning public area

the breakfast was nice especially home made coffee

Stayed in October 2022

The facilities and room are very basic (wooden hut), but if you are not scared of a few bugs/creepy crawlies then you'll be fine!

A great experience living the authentic village life in Thailand. Tep is a very warm and friendly host, and we enjoyed the amazing experience of trekking with him. There is a lovely waterfall nearby to walk to also.
