Rawit and his dad, Saksit, are one of the most kindest and genuine people I've met during my Asia trip. Their home is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful garden and multiple terraces to enjoy the view. Saksit put so much thought behind the design of the house and it is filled with personal touches such as the bamboo from their farm and artwork from local artists. Our room had an ensuite bathroom, smart TVs for entertainment, comfortable beds, a comfy living room for relaxing, a desk that is perfect for remote working, and a balcony that overlooks the neighboring houses. The communal kitchen was always stocked with coffee, tea, filtered water, and bananas for guests to freely use. It was hands down our favorite accommodation in Thailand but more than the space itself, we really enjoyed getting to know Rawit and his family. They went above and beyond to make sure that we felt welcomed in their home. When my friend realized that she left her wallet at their place after checking out, she gave them a call and they drove all the way to the airport and spoke with the staff to get the wallet through the security checkpoints to the gate where my friend was waiting. That meant the world to us and it spoke volumes of their good-hearted nature. If I'm ever back in Chiangmai, I would definitely stay...

Read moreI stayed in the dorm room May 2022 as a "solo traveller" - I had such a good experience here. The hostel is so nicely designed with such beautiful artwork.
There is a bathroom area for communal guest's that are clean and run well.
The owner's son (Saksit) speaks great English, and is super helpful if you have any questions. His parents are also really nice, and his dad hand picks fresh fruit which you can help yourself too.
Other thing's - there's a communal fridge, and you can use the kitchen downstairs to make tea/coffee. There's also other amenities such as a hair dryer, shower gel/shampoo, and they provide a laundry service for 40baht/kg of clothing (which is standard in other areas as far as I can tell).
Location - great, it's located in the Old Town/City. Everything is walkable within the square e.g. night markets. There is a 7/11, and pharmacy 5min walk away. It gets a bit dark in the area, but I personally never felt unsafe...
