If you are looking for basic accommodation that is comfortable near the floating pagodas of Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat Phrachomklao, this is a great place to rest your head for the night. This is a pretty basic review since I was only there for 1 quick night. The location was really hard to find from the address provided. Every map app I had landed me about 15min too far south from the actual location. If you need to find this place, DO NOT search by the address provided, instead search for “Himdoy Muangpan Resort” and your maps should find it just fine. The host was kind enough to accommodate a late check-in but communications when I was lost at night and needing some direction were a bit slow in response. I was starving when I arrived and unfortunately there was nothing open in town, including the cafe on the premises, so I just didn’t eat for the night and figured I’d fill up on a hearty breakfast in the morning instead. The host speaks a bit of English, but the person who checked me in for the night did not. It was fine and we figured everything out but just be aware if you plan to stay here. The room itself is very clean and spacious. The bed was firm but very comfortable with nice fluffy pillows. It was a bit chilly at night in the mountains and an extra blanket would have been nice to have on hand. There is a TV, VERY small closet (if you could even call it that) with some hangers, 1 large bottle of water with 2 glasses, a small chair, 2 towels, soap and toilet paper provided. There is no WiFi here which was a bit disappointing and no guide book which would have been nice to have on hand since there are so many awesome things to check out in the area! The bathroom is one of the largest ones I’ve had so far in my travels in Thailand which was really nice for a change and the shower had hot water (just be sure to flip the switch on!). Be aware that this is a farm stay, which I love but some do not appreciate. You’ll have roosters waking you up first thing in the morning if you don’t bring earplugs. The view of the mountains in the morning was breathtaking and the cafe is setup in a perfect spot to take it all in while you have breakfast. You can even see the silhouette of the floating pagodas from the other side of the mountain if I’m not mistaken! There were lots of chickens running around in the morning and a couple of horses out in the field. The breakfast was delicious and included with the stay! Thai rice soup (consisting of rice in a watery broth and a “pork meatball”), along with a fresh soft boiled egg. It was just the perfect start to the morning. Coffee is available but will cost extra at a reasonable price. It was good but not the best I’ve had so far. Still better than the instant mix coffee you see a lot in Thailand though! The floating pagodas are about a 30min drive from this location. If you have time afterward, check out Chae Son Waterfall and the hot springs (located in the same park) where you can take a dip and watch the locals cook eggs in special handwoven baskets in the hot springs. It’s like a mini Yellowstone National Park and was definitely a highlight of my trip so far. There is a (reasonable) fee to get into the park and is about a 40 minute drive from the pagodas on your way to Chiang Mai it Chiang Rai.

Pearl's home is a hidden jam just next to the river ....cosy and beautiful decorated....so chill just sitting at the corridor and enjoy the sound of flowing river.. Pearl is very helpfu tool and tried her best to look for driver for us.. Thx to you and hopeto come back in the future..😆😆

The stay here was perfect, and I would recommend it to anyone traveling in the area. The hosts were incredibly thorough in communication and provided additional generous service. Included in booking was a pick up from the train station and drop off at the airport, a delicious breakfast, and advice on the area. The location is perfect to the historical walking street with it's amazing night market (though it is worth a visit during the say as well). Additionally, it is on the river which made for a lovely view! I also appreciated the air condition given how hot it was, other places I stayed in didn't have this. I would definitely stay here again!
