“Beautiful location in the hills by a river with a lovely and helpful host”

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

Amazing, super warm and welcoming owners. What a treat to spend some time in their home and to immerse into the nature surrounding the place. Very tasty meals. Super authentic atmosphere.

“A must stay if you want to connect with the land and good people”

It was the best get away I could have hoped for after traveling from city to city. Mr. Tep and his family were incredibly warm and welcome and I would 100% bring my family here again

“Came here to heal and it provided perfect opportunity for me to step away from hectic daily routine.”

Stayed here 7 years ago and was great to return to a lovely homestay .

Very warm and helpful family The rooms are very unique and very clean with great view

“Location is nice but louder than you might think”

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

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

I have problem with checkin, never know if will by dinner and price for food was more them i expeting.

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

“We didn’t end up staying here. My friend was sick and needed a decent bathroom with minimum hygienic conditions that wer”

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.

“totaly it was a nice experience and night time full of bright star in the sky”

the breakfast was nice especially home made coffee

“I loved this place so much I stayed 3 weeks!”

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.

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.

“the location in the jungle is truly stunning. Host Thep grew up in the jungle and knows all about it, including medicina”

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

“I loved it there and would recommend it to everyone who loves nature and the most friendly people:)”
