Top choice in Doi Inthanon National Park
Easily the region's best-value stay, this delightful collection of stilted bungalows is set in a picturesque rice paddy with splendid views of Doi Inthanon National Park. The newly constructed accommodation is pristine and comfortable, and a bamboo boardwalk connects it to the relaxing pool and open-air northern Thai kitchen.
The kind owner cooks wonderful meals for his guests, speaks fluent English and can arrange local guided tours, motorcycle hire (200B per day) and airport pick-up.
