Phusangtawan Resort

It was quite a long drive out from Chang Mai city up to Mae Ai, en-route to further places, but the drive was worth it, and the tiny little hotel where we stayed in, in Mae Ai, proved to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A small family run hotel, consisting of small separate wooden chalet/bungalows set within the ornate gardens. The air-conditioned chalets, were all named after plants or flowers, rather than being numbered. All had external patios or 'decks' too. The chalet interiors had been beautifully decorated and appointed, and similarly a very modern and up to date bathroom within. We had, quite unwittingly booked, stumbled upon, another little gem. We might possibly have been the only guests, we really do not know, but we were all very thankful for our luck in finding such a small, yet luxurious base camp, for 2 nights, before driving further up into the mountains, during the middle day. The people there were very helpful in pointing us toward good places to eat back in Mae Ai town itself a few miles back down the road. I think it's fair to say that currently, and quite understandably, this little hotel does not really offer anything more a Bed & Breakfast service when it comes to their own catering operation, at present. Yet an individually prepared, cooked breakfast was available from the moment we entered the dining area, each morning. Fabulous, fabulous little place, and we all wish them well and continued success for the future. We were sad to leave. Note: This beautiful little hotel lies back from the main road by only 40-50 metres or so, thus light sleepers might prefer to be further back and more away from the road.

Nous avions un bungalow avec deux lits,la chambre est très bien équipée et le service(nettoyage,accesssoires )est parfait.Le jardin est remarquablement bien entretenu et très très plaisant dans un pays qui est coutumier du fait ,mais là,c'est vraiment super.Alors,pourquoi ne mettre que moyen à cet hébergement<? Une nuisance sonore:nous sommes au ras de la route qui va à Chiang rai et le trafic est important Nous sommes au milieu de nulle part,aucun service de restauration le soir ou le midi et un petit déjeuner très médiocre,voire très bas de gamme(jambon en boite,aucun fruit,un jus industriel..etc...) L'hotel n'assure aucune navette pour le port ou la ville ,ne loue aucun scooter ou vélo et marcher le long de la route nationale n'est pas une sinécure.Si vous avez de jeunes enfants et pas de voiture,passez votre chemin. Je pense que cet hotel reçoit surtout des gens d'ici ,d'ailleurs,en gros,personne ne parle un peu langlais,sauf un monsieur fort serviable et souvent absent Ceci dit le logement en tant que tel est très bien, Alors,à vous de voir.
