Located in Chiang Mai and only 1.4 km from Central Plaza Chiang Mai Airport, Plumeriahome near Walking Street provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. Set 1.4 km from Chiang Mai Gate, the property offers a garden. The guest house features family rooms.

Very, very friendly host and hostess. Tok and Big, thank you very much for your kindness and lovely care. They are very flexible and open to help in any kind of situation. One of the many advantages of staying here is that you can rent a motorbike for only 250 baht a day. You only have to fill in your signature on a paper and that's it! No leaving your passport behind or paying a deposit. We wanted to take the moterbike for one or two days to Pai and that was no problem at all. Tok even checked our moterbike for any kind of problems.They didn't make us pay for the checkup. Also if you have any questions Tok and Big will try to help where they can. They give some tips about nice locations in Thailand that aren't too touristy and they can call a cab or an organisation for you. Our room was very big and clean, we liked the style of the interior and the vibe of the room. In the shared 'kitchen' outside, you can use drinking water, coffee and tea for free. The only disadvantage is that the location is not close to the city center, but a seven eleven is nearby (5 minutes walk). It also wasn't too bad of a location, we walked several times to the night market (18 minute walk) So if you do not mind to walk a bit then this is just perfect. It was nice to have your own room to rest and also the living area aka the kitchen outside to socialize with other travelers. We highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place in Chiang Mai.

Chedi Luang Temple is 6.3 km from the guest house, while Three Kings Monument is 6.8 km away. The nearest airport is Chiang Mai International, 1 km from Gumpuju คำปู้จู้, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

I wanted a hotel close to the airport! It was quite cheap and that's why I was even more surprised to see the comfortable room! It's definitely a place where one could stay longer! The check in was very uncomplicated (I could come any time the key was in the room), everything was clean and the hostess even dropped me off at the airport early in the morning, which was very helpful!

Close to airport and not far from town accessible by truck for 30bht. Would stay again, shame we could not stay any longer.

I can’t say enough good stuff about my stay at Ban Maitree. It was absolutely perfect for my extended 5 week stay to attend school nearby. Amie is the perfect hostess and went far beyond what she needed to in order to assure my stay was top notch. I highly recommend Ban Maitree to meet all needs for affordability and accessibility for a long term stay in Chiang Mai. I’m already planning on returning in 2025😊

    A lovely little unpretentious guest house run by a charming and attentive family. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well serviced. The guesthouse is conveniently located close to the old town, many restaurants and bars but is a little set back so it is in a little oasis of calm and quiet. There is a large secure parking area at the back of the hotel for bicycles, motorbikes and cars. The bright and airy communal outside sitting areas were particularly appreciated.

    Cheap, cheerful and charming. The property was super well located, down a quiet private street and close to the night market. The hosts were super accommodating too - we checked out and left our luggage to go on a day trip but they let us shower and freshen up before our flight.

    Paapu is such a great host, very kind and generous and makes you feel at home right away. Everything is very clean and it’s a very charming space. I particularly liked the back deck that stays cool from the sun all day, and is a nice quiet spot to chill out

    The guesthouse is in a great location, walkable to local cafes and restaurants and is in the nice Old City. The house is very beautiful with stained glass and feels very relaxing. the rooms and spaces are clean and the complimentary breakfast is delicious with fresh fruit, pad Thai and some sticky sweet rice, also coffee/tea. The hostess and workers are very nice and helpful and allowed us to check in again, would definitely come back again!

    Before anything else, I have to take my hat off to the staff, especially Som! Som and her friend really went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. I also liked the cozy atmosphere Amaka's fostered as it felt more like a bed and breakfast than a cheap hostel. There were also many books you could read while staying there. The breakfast they provide (for those who opt for it) was delicious and nutritious. If you want a quiet place to relax from your travels, this place is for you!
