We booked for one night as a stopover on our way to chiang rai , we really didn’t expect much as we had just left a beautiful 5 star resort , and thought this booking would be a huge disappointment , how wrong we’re we , the property which is a collection of wooden bungalows is set in amongst rice fields and although not fancy it more than makes up for it with charm and a great atmosphere .The property is very Thai in style which we loved ,the bungalow had an excellent bathroom with 2 showers one of which had an open air roof .the bed was comfortable and everything was very clean . The staff are very pleasant particularly the owners . The on-site restaurant where we ate in the evening was excellent and very reasonable , the breakfast the following day also did not disappoint. All in all this is an absolute gem of a hotel don’t hesitate to book if you’re in the area

“A Wounderful Resort”

We stayed in Baan Chai Thung for 2 weeks. The resort is located in the middle of a peaceful rice field. The rooms are comfortable and the restaurant serving delicous. Most important, Juergen and Phoo are quite nice and kind, we become friends at the end.

“Great getaway!”

I wanted a getaway from city back then, so I chose ChiangMai. I didn't expect that much when I was booking Baan chai Thung. However after 6 days later, I was so happy I booked this resort.

“Not what we expected, but gorgeous”

We planned to stay here for a week in March and booked a family bungalow thinking it would be 1 building with two bedrooms so that our little one would have his own room and so would we. Upon arrival we were greeted by Juergen, who was quite surprised that we were only a family of 3. he expected more persons to be using a family bungalow. By that time we also got confused, so he showed us the bungalow to make clear what he meant to say. The family bungalow are actually three small buildings, two are the bedrooms and the other one is the bathroom (so at night you have to go outside to another building if you need to go to the toilet). It all looked nice, but having our 1 year old sleep in another building than us, was not what we wanted. So in the end, the baby cot was placed in the room where we would also be sleeping. The size of the room is just too small for this, keeping in mind that we also brought 3 large suitcases and a stroller with us. Getting something from one of the suitcases would actually mean that we would have to get the suitcase outside and open it there to get your things out. This was something we could probably oversee if all else was ok for us. However, the grounds the bungalows are placed on are filled with gorgeous looking ponds. Not really suitable for a toddler who could just walk and didn't understand that he couldn't swim in it. It looks absolutely stunning here and you can se that a lot of time and attention is being put in taking care of the surroundings. If we weren't here with a baby, it would have been a peaceful stay for us. The swimming pool (salt water) looks nice and was perfect for spending a few hours here. Breakfast was too basic for our liking. We were actually hoping for a bit more thai styled breakfast, but it consisted of toast, jam, meat to put on the toast and omelets. Location-wise it was too far away from the city that we would have preferred to explore. You needed to get a taxi (about 30 minutes drive) of rent a motor cycle. All in all, we stayed here a couple of days and then decided to leave earlier and go some place else. The place is really nice for those looking for a relaxing stay; it looks stunning and is so quiet. but for us this wasn't what we expected.
