Bamboo Nest de Chiang Rai

Our stay with Nok and Nah was nothing short of heavenly. Their bamboo nest is a true slice of paradise: beautifully crafted, surrounded by a lush garden, and set in the most peaceful environment. The bungalow itself was cozy and comfortable with a great bed with a mosquito net, a hot shower, and two hammocks for relaxing. Nok and Nah themselves are the kindest, most generous hosts you could hope for. We learned so much from them about Thai cooking, organic farming, and the rich northern Thai culture they embody with such pride. Every meal was incredibly delicious, healthy, and made with fresh ingredients straight from their land. One of the highlights of our trip was an awesome full-day adventure: trekking to a waterfall, learning about local tea and crops, cooking a traditional Lahu-style lunch over an open fire, and ending the day with a relaxing foot soak in a natural hot spring. It was magical from start to finish and a great value for the price. On our second day, we explored the local Sunday market and took a music class with the wonderful Bell, who teaches two traditional Thai instruments, the Sueng (like a small guitar) and the Saw U (bowed fiddle). Playing music with everyone there was so fun and special, and surprisingly easy to pick up and play. Highly recommend a class with Bell when you visit! I can’t recommend this experience enough. If you want to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the magic of northern Thailand with the sweetest people, this is the place to be!

This was the last stop on my sons and my 10 day 3 city Northern Thailand trip. We loved bamboo nest! This was a wonderful true experience. Nok and Nah are the best hosts. The place is authentic! The meals amazing. The outings come with local love. We loved the hike to the water falls and rice fields. Loved the peaceful area. Loved the gardens. Thank you so much! I plan to come back!! Nok and Nah are the best at the bamboo nest!!

Our favourite stay in Thailand! Cooking with Nok was a real highlight and the bamboo house is fantastically quirky.

Almost a month has passed since my departure from Bamboo Nest, yet a piece of my soul feels intertwined with the serene beauty and warmth of this unique getaway. Nok and Nah are not just hosts; they are the most lovely people I’ve ever encountered, making us feel cherished and well-cared-for throughout our visit. As the only guests, we enjoyed an exquisite, independent bungalow that felt like our personal haven. Every piece of furniture tells its own story, vintage and beautifully preserved, contributing to the rustic charm of the place. The vegetable garden deserves a special mention. It’s not just a garden but the heart of the kitchen. Knowing that all the food prepared came fresh from this garden made each meal a delightful experience in farm-to-table dining. The activities were thoughtful and engaging. We had the opportunity to try eco-printing, which was both fun and enlightening. The day field trip was perfectly organized, providing an intimate glimpse into the local culture and landscapes, making us feel even more connected to the region. Thanks to Nok and Nah, our stay was more than just a visit; it was a soulful journey we will cherish forever.

A beautiful place to stay to escape the busy cities of Northern Thailand. Bamboo Nest is now situated in an eco-village just a short trip from Chiang Rai. The village is incredibly friendly and welcoming! The house has been built from upcycled materials and is very comfortable. We spent most of our time on the open air porch in the hammocks reading our books and birdwatching. Three peaceful days at Bamboo Nest has recharged our batteries. Cooking with Nok in the evenings was really fun and we learned a lot! Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. The two cats are very sweet and love treats! Hopefully we will be back to visit another time!

Nok and Nah are fantastic hosts, I had a great two nights’ stay with them. Nok’s cooking is incredible, some of the best food I’ve had since being in Thailand. If you’re visiting Chiang Rai and looking for peace and quiet in the countryside, I’d recommend a stay here.

We had a lovely homestay with K Nok and K Na . They have a very cute chubby cat named Kathi . The Eco Pianting with blanket option is a must try , will be amazed by the end results, the trek was also amazing and unexpected for a non hiker like me . The trek was also easily completed by my 5 yr old kid who is also not much into hiking. A 2 day stay is a must . I also loved the home cooked food .

The Location is so beautiful if you just want to have some quiet time in nature and escape from the busy streets of chiang rai... I enjoyed my stay with Nok and her husband very much. I chilled all day in the hammock and figured out the next steps of my travels and it is the perfect place for that. There is noone to connect though so if you travel solo, you really have ti be comfortable with being alone (which was exactly what I needed). There are also some trails to hike and chiang rai is just a 20 minutes drive away (they drive you for 200 bath). You can cook authentic Thai food with Nok in the evening. I am vegi, which wasn't a problem at all :) The room is spacious and Bed is comfortable, there is a mosquitonet and a bathroom. You have the bungalow/bigger house with kitchen, balcony and living room all for yourself and the two of them live right next to it. I could help plant cactee one afternoon which was really sweet. Oh and they have the cuuutest cats! You have a perfect view for the sunrise and the sunset. All in all really worth the price and a really unique homestay experience to stay there. Thank you guys!
