Chaiyapol Homestay

note that there are 2 Chaiyapol Homestays so it’s good to check with them prior. i booked a Standard Room (B2) via trip.com and thought the location - as per the map - was a 10mins walk from Mae Kampong Village. lugged myself + heavy backpack up hills to find out when i reached that the homestay was located at the village itself (great location, walking distance to all the shops but wish i knew earlier!) apart from that, had an absolutely lovely stay. the young staff spoke english and was really helpful and nice. room is nice and clean. snacks + drinks are available for purchase in the room but tip: bring your own mama noodles for mookata! they sell one set for 350 baht which i enjoyed eating outside at the balcony staff also asked if i would like to join the sunrise at Kew Fin + Mae Kampong Waterfall for 100baht/person; pick up at 5.30am. glad i went! it was beautiful. it gets chilly on top so you can also take the white “bed runner” in the room as a scarf breakfast is included and is at a separate restaurant, just a couple minutes walk from the accom, located at the cafe At-Mae-Kampong. it was a buffet spread with healthy options. absolutely loved the congee! it’s so good, must try overall had a very pleasant experience. definitely recommend! homestay location is great and value for money. good for a 2d1n trip. i booked shared transport via klook from chiang mai

Was looking forward to our stay after reading positive reviews but it was TERRIBLE. Our house was located beside the chicken coop, next to some sort of a pile of renovation stuff (right outside our main door). Our entire first floor was beside the walkway so it was super noisy (motorbikes, people walking by etc). The exterior of our home was dirty (chicken and dog poop) :( the bed and blanket made us itch, and only one slipper was provided for a two cubicle toilet. Plus point was that bfast and dinner provided were local and delicious, sunrise tour was enjoyable too!

Good view Good meal Good service
