This place is highly recommended. I found it on Agoda. I was in Chaing Dao and thought I would rock up and check it out before booking on Agoda. I ended up booking direct with the property for 600 baht in January 2024 for a bungalow nestled next to a stream. It had aircon but I did not use it, as the weather was cold at night. Pros Lovely, well-manicured property on a hill. The open air restaurant has great views of the valley Peaceful and quiet, aside from the frogs. See below. The bungalow was awesome. It had a private veranda overlooking the stream with a view of the mountains. No one could see you on the veranda Cons Zero Wifi reception in my bungalow next to the the stream. However, they have several routers throughout the property and have good signal in other areas (e.g., restaurant) The hot water didn’t get that hot; on a cold morning, this is less than ideal Breakfast is pretty basic; self-serve toast, banana, rice porridge, coffee, tea. However, as I was leaving the restaurant, a lady spoke to me in Thai and gestured to me asking if I wanted anything. I said no. Shortly thereafter, the smell of cooking emanated from the little kitchen, so maybe she was offering me food? My bungalow was right on the stream. It was a frog party in that stream at night. If you’re a light sleeper this might disturb you. However, it’s better than roosters!
