"Live like a Local" Wooden House

Our story begins with my grandfather, a renowned architect and an expert in cultivating plants, he set out with a vision to build an ideal holiday home for his family. He designed this home by incorporating local architectural heritage, embodying the essence of a Northern Thai traditional house. Expertly crafted by Thai Craftsmen using teak timber, it is designed to withstand our hot and humid climate throughout the year. Situated in a peaceful area of Mae Jo, only 30 minutes from the centre

The space
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a lovely private botanical entrance leading to the downstairs section of the house. The area is adorned with locally handmade furniture, providing a charming seating area

As you ascend the stairs, you'll find a wooden seating area where guests can relax and remove their shoes before entering the inner part of the house. Once inside, you'll discover an open-air living room with a traditional design, perfect for dining, unwinding, and working, creating a serene, nature-surrounded ambience. For your convenience, there is a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, tableware, a fridge, and a freezer.

The bedroom features a unique wooden wardrobe designed to separate the door from the inner area. Our spacious 1-bedroom accommodation can comfortably host 4 to 5 guests, offering ample extra space. The bedroom is furnished with a 40-inch TV, high-speed Wi-Fi (up to 500mbps), towels, comfy clothes, an aroma diffuser, 2 air conditioners, and an air purifier. Additionally, the en-suite wooden bathroom boasts a touch of modernity with a rain shower, a toilet, a sink, shampoo, body soap, a hairdryer, and a concealed door connecting to the open-air living room. Outside, there is a delightful garden with lush greenery and a seating area for guests to relish the fresh air.

This remarkable Teak wood house is constructed using traditional methods that prioritize functionality to withstand Thailand's ever-changing weather. The design allows the wind to permeate the house from any direction, providing a true northern-style house experience that you and your family or friends will cherish forever.

Guest access
This property is one of two houses located within a place called Ban MaeBo Local Stay. The houses are situated at a distance from each other and are separated by the owner's house, ensuring privacy for both parties. Guests will share the lobby, parking spaces, breakfast area, dining area, and free water station areas. We highly encourage interaction among guests to foster a sense of community within our local stay. Guests are welcome to use any part of the lobby and spaces around local stay for work or personal activities.

We offer a massage service that can accommodate up to 4 guests simultaneously. Our services include Thai massage, Aroma oil massage, herbal compress ball massage, and a special northern ancient massage called 'Tok Sen' for only 500 Baht per hour. *Please book 1 or more days in advance* by messaging us on Vrbo.

Our homemade breakfast is available for 120 Baht per set, and our northern-style 'Kan Tok' dinner can be booked for 900 Baht per set for 2-4 guests. Please book 1 or more days in advance via the Vrbo message.

Other things to note

Guests can conveniently order food online using applications such as Grab and 7-Eleven. Our local stay is situated next to Mea Rim (5-10 mins away), where many attractions are located, and it's around 20 minutes from the famous Mon-Jaem, known for its beautiful scenic views.

Our property is perfect for guests who need a peaceful working environment with fast wifi, offering a little escape from the city without being too far, and serving as a resting place for those travelling to the northern part of the country, such as Chiang Rai, Pai, or Mae Hong Son, but prefer not to stay in the city centre.
