Baan Song Jum : บ้านทรงจำ

This is an amazing place! It feels like a peaceful oasis in the middle of a city. The place is simple, but very clean. It is full of plants and trees. Nui (the host) is a super kind woman. She makes you feel really cozy and welcomed. She also gives some great recommendations about activities in the city. I fell in love with the friendly and peaceful vibe of this place.

It's an amazing place to stay. You will find a beautiful koi fish, Mr Big, 3 ultra-cute dogs, frogs, and squirrels. There is a home feeling, and the sisters are very helpful. Every recommendation that we got was super on point. A big plus the excessive recycling, glass, plastic, and organic for making their own fertiliser. If you are looking for a comfortable, quiet, sustainable, and eco-friendly place to stay this is it!

Wonderful host. Quiet and home atmosphere. Can't wait until I can come back again next year

I could not recommend this place enough, if you are wanting to stay somewhere that is a bit more quiet and chilled, this is the place. The moment you walk in you are treated with care and respect by the hosts who are absolutely lovely. They will bring you into their home and will make you feel like their family straight away. The facilities are spot on just what you need, the rooms are spacious and homily. One thing I liked most about this place is the feeling of safety, you know you are in good hands with hosts who will go the extra mile to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. In addition, the property is secured by a big gate that has a padlock on it at all times.|They will only give their guests access to this key so it really provides a feeling of safety and security something that not all accommodations can provide. The hosts will also help you plan any trips and will give their advice on anything around Chiang Mai which was immensely helpful for me. Breakfast and drinking water is provided and they will make sure you don't have a empty stomach in the morning. Couldn't recommend any more, book this place and you will not regret it. (They also have cute dogs).

If you're looking at these reviews it means you're thinking about booking in here, just do it. It's so warm and special and you won't regret it. The rooms are basic, but clean, with fresh towels and sheets. The beds are firm but we didn't have a bad night's sleep. There was shampoo and shower products in the bathroom. High ceilings in the room meant the sleeping temperature is comfortable, so even if you just have a fan room like ours it's perfect. There were no problems with mosquitos in the room at all. The seating/living area of the communal kitchen/garden is shaded by the house and all of the beautiful plants around the yard, it stays out of the afternoon heat. Breakfast was self serving, Nui left bread and jam/peanut butter out to help ourselves, with a kettle for tea or coffee and fresh fruit every morning. Nui was such a lovely host and made us feel welcome like family. She had good recommendations and has known Chiang Mai all her life. Her sister was incredibly helpful and it felt like visiting relatives. She even arranged for her friend to take us to the bus station for a cheap fee in his taxi. If we return to Chiang Mai there is no need to search for accommodation, we know we will stay here again.

The place was really nice and peaceful, but not too far away from the Old Town. Nui and Gung were super thoughtful hosts! And their dogs are really cute! If I come back to Chiang Mai, I’ll definitely stay here again. Thank you, Nui!

It's hard for me to write an objectiv review because I know Nui one of the two sisters who own the place since about 35 years. Before she went back to Chiang Mai to turn the over a hundred years old teak house her grandfather had built into a guesthouse she worked for a huge Chinese printshop in Bangkok. As she frequently travelled to Europe back then she knows a lot about Europeans. In contrary to many Thais Nui likes it simple, no bling bling, and ecology is very important for her. She loves the beautiful garden around the house, To stay there is a bit like communal, collective living. You prepare the breakfast yourself, you can make yourself a tea or coffee whenever you want. After a few days you know how to handle the washing machine and where you put up the clothes to dry. The guests are predominantley European, no party people, no gap yearer, but maybe learning Thai or Thai massage in Chiang Mai. Quite often some of the guests are going out for dinner together. Nui and her sister a very nice and kind ladies which can give you all kind of advice. And the rent for the room is cheap. What else should I say. When you are looking for

I had such a wonderful stay at Baan Song Jum. The hosts Nui and Kung are very accommodating and have such a motherly energy which leaves you feeling so well looked after. I hope to visit again one day soon.
