Owned by a well-known professor from Chiang Mai University, this laid-back floating stay is an excellent choice at the Mae Ngat Irrigation Reservoir. Rooms are comfy and quaint, kayaks are complimentary (with a 500B deposit) and the Thai food is superb. Staff members speak very little English, but they can connect you with a guide to explore nearby caves and waterfalls.
