บ้านทรงจำ โฮมสเตย์(Baan Songjum)

I could not recommend this place enough, if you are wanting to stay somewhere that is a bit more quiet and chilled, this is the place. The moment you walk in you are treated with care and respect by the hosts who are absolutely lovely. They will bring you into their home and will make you feel like their family straight away. The facilities are spot on just what you need, the rooms are spacious and homily. One thing I liked most about this place is the feeling of safety, you know you are in good hands with hosts who will go the extra mile to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. In addition, the property is secured by a big gate that has a padlock on it at all times. They will only give their guests access to this key so it really provides a feeling of safety and security something that not all accommodations can provide. The hosts will also help you plan any trips and will give their advice on anything around Chiang Mai which was immensely helpful for me. Breakfast and drinking water is provided and they will make sure you don't have a empty stomach in the morning. Couldn't recommend any more, book this place and you will not regret it. (They also have cute dogs).

Baan Songjum is the first place that made us feel like we were in Thailand. Not only because of the beautiful garden surrounding Nui's family house and the delicious fresh fruits served for breakfast. Mostly because of the incredible hospitality of Nui, her amazing attitude toward her guests, and the many stories she shared with us. You can feel running a guest house is her vocation. She made us feel at home, even though we were 10.000 km from our country. Many thanks for being a part of our exotic holidays!

It's hard for me to write an objectiv review because I know Nui one of the two sisters who own the place since about 35 years. Before she went back to Chiang Mai to turn the over a hundred years old teak house her grandfather had built into a guesthouse she worked for a huge Chinese printshop in Bangkok. As she frequently travelled to Europe back then she knows a lot about Europeans. In contrary to many Thais Nui likes it simple, no bling bling, and ecology is very important for her. She loves the beautiful garden around the house, To stay there is a bit like communal, collective living. You prepare the breakfast yourself, you can make yourself a tea or coffee whenever you want. After a few days you know how to handle the washing machine and where you put up the clothes to dry. The guests are predominantley European, no party people, no gap yearer, but maybe learning Thai or Thai massage in Chiang Mai. Quite often some of the guests are going out for dinner together. Nui and her sister a very nice and kind ladies which can give you all kind of advice. And the rent for the room is cheap. What else should I say. When you are looking for
