Mae Salong Villa

The first trip up there we stayed at Mae Salong Villa. It had basic Thai-style rooms and for 800 baht we got a nice clean room with a lovely balcony and breakfast. We were also happy with the nice big comforter they provided on the bed, which we needed even in the middle of October. I would definitely recommend bring socks or slippers as the tile floors were pretty chilly once evening set in. We've seen a couple of rooms here and they can vary in quality, so maybe check out a couple. The room we stayed in was fine, but on a recent trip back we looked at another room and it smelled quite musty.

The balcony was perfect for sitting and watching the sun set and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We could also watch local farmers drying their tea crop on the street below. The highlight of this spot is really enjoying the view from the nice spacious balcony. They have a couple of comfortable wicker chairs to sit on and it's a great spot to watch the sun set. They also had a nice big fridge in the room, so it's easy to bring your own beer/beverages to enjoy a sun-downer.
