Chaiyapol Homestay

Very impressed by the atmosphere. Nice clean air with the sound of the waterfall and chilly weather. When we were there it was raining and foggy but still beautiful. Easy to walk to the Mae Kum Pong street. Breakfast here is incredible, a lot of vegetables and fruits and hot Ovaltine in the morning. We will be back for more good time.

If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, recommend to go and stay there. You will get sound sleep becoz of the sound of downstream waterfall. But Mosquitoes have a little bit and the place is located at the steep area and a bit far from Van station.

can’t believe I were in Haven!!! I love this place and definitely will be back again. If you want to choose stay in village .. B zone is perfect. For one or two person B2 is nice but no air-con.

Nice view and weather is so good very recommend to visit there

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

We had a pleasant stay at Chaiyapol Homestay, and were met with friendly, welcoming staff who made us feel at home from the start. The room was spacious, clean, and had a rustic charm, which gave the place a homely feel. However, the beds were very firm, and the walls were incredibly thin, you can hear just about everything from neighbouring rooms, so light sleepers may want to look elsewhere. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of town, making it easy to explore the area on foot. One of the biggest drawbacks was the hot water and water pressure. While the hotel does state that hot water isn’t available 24/7, it was barely available in the mornings, and even when it was, the water pressure was extremely low, making showers more of a trickle than a rinse. Breakfast was also disappointing, with very limited variety and no replenishment, so if you weren’t down early, you didn’t get much. Overall, it’s a nice local stay with a warm atmosphere and central location, but there are comfort and amenity issues to be aware of before booking.
