Bambuh Boutique Homestay

This is our second time visiting the Bambuh Boutique Homestay and it will not be our last. Ya and Mark have created a very special place where we feel in complete harmony with life. The architecture, with elements of Thai life and history, blends with and is balanced by the surrounding gardens and they have created a unique space allowing for a sense of peace and tranquility. The birdsong and rooster calls add to this sense of peace and relaxation. And, our hosts are simply lovely people. This is our very special place and we feel so lucky to have found the tranquility that Bambuh represents. We hope you have the opportunity to experience this special place in your lifetime.

Nothing. Everything was perfect for us.

I ended up staying with Kallaya and Mark for 6 weeks. It was such a lovely place to rest more deeply. I'm travelling with a health issue and so was looking for somewhere quiet and calm in a beautiful location, and Bambuh Boutique was exactly the right place for me. The owners, as well as Foo, looked after me so well and were always happy to pick things up for me, support any dietary requests I had, or give me a lift. They also connected me to a local restaurant (Give Green Farm House Restaurant) so I could have fresh organic food delivered whenever Kallaya wasn't cooking lovely food herself. The gardens are well tended, lush and absolutely teeming with birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a quiet and soothing stay somewhere close to nature.

no negative comments at all :-)

There's a lot of things we liked so I'll list them: Owners have created a slice of paradise The food was excellent The atmosphere was outstanding There was a quiet sophistication about the homestay. The dog added to an already great experience. The beds were very comfy. Convenient location for supermarkets, the white temple, walking street etc. We honestly liked everything, I would highly recommend this place if you're seeking good food, relaxation, a friendly atmosphere and extremely welcoming hosts. Well done Mark and Kallaya, just brilliant!

We adored everything, if I had to pick something it's that the water for the shower was lukewarm.

Very spacious room at ground floor of a traditional Thai house. We loved the forest-like garden the owners created over the years bustling with birds and their songs. Lovely, helpful owners. We also appreciated their eco-friendly approach. The entire house was build with reclaimed wood and local clay was added to the walls. Perfect base to explore Chiang Rai's highlights. We loved our cycling trip with the free bikes to explore the surrounding countryside with rice-fields, villages and waterfalls.

nothing, we had a lovely stay. It was only too short. :-)

The rooms are exactly as pictured.. The breakfast was excellent, it's unfortunate that we didn't plan to have dinner with them the night of our arrival as it was likely equally as wonderful. The property is beautiful and the layout is smartly designed and pleasing to the eye. Sleeping to the sounds of nature was incredibly restful. Don't forget to try the kambucha.

The shower was uncomfortably cold in the morning I imagine this could be remedied by showering later in the day. The true major drawback was the fact that we didn't book for longer.

I am absolutely in love with this property and the service we received was really great. it is the perfect place to completely switch off, it perfectly blends with the surrounding nature. After Bangkok it was the best choice I could made. Room was spotless. Bicycle available to go around as well if you need to keep moving.

If you (like me) are too sensitive to the nature (meaning wild bugs) still go if in doubt, it's worth it even if you see some extra guests here and there.. Lots of aggressive mosquitos around, a mosquito net around the bed and some insect repellent would be a great help.

This is a beautiful property and our room was really well designed and attractive. Our balcony looked through the property's vegetation to he rice field beyond - magical really. The owners were really friendly, helpful and supportive. Breakfast was good too.

Liked everything! Some travellers might be concerned about its distance from Chiang Rai (about 12 km) but it didn't concern us because we didn't want to go to the city much anyway and it was only a 15 minute drive if we did.

it is a small complex of rooms spread in a beautiful garden outside of the main city, but still close enough. some of the rooms are a traditional wooden Thai style rooms and some are modern. all very spacious, highly decorated and clean. the hosts are very friendly.

the lower Thai room (there are two) has a distinctive moisture smell (not present in the upper Thai room - we have booked 4 rooms. just avoid this specific one). the beds are very stiff.

Our host and staff wete wonderful... The Bambu resort is a nature wonderland... our room was beautiful with as great balconey view of the impressive gardens. I have already booked another stay here. I highly recommend the Bambu Resort... and its close to restraunts and the city and airport... good luck to all.

Quiet and peaceful place that's well designed with a homey vibe. Hosts were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The bicycles provided on site is very helpful to travel within the area easily.

The rooms are all in a same house building so it's not ideal for those who wants privacy.
