It could not have been better
Charles, Nee, Alan and David (February 25th, 2012) - rating 94%
We came as a family of four to explore the mountains and see what else Chiang Rai had to offer. We were given a good selection of places to go complete with directions and we found them all. And such a welcoming and comfortable place to stay between trips. Five nights of perfect relaxation. Three hundred photographs to take back. It could not have been better. Our thanks to our hosts Steve and Sermsri.

Nach einer harten Radtour von Chiang Khong sind wir im Paradies gelandet. Wir haben eine wunderbare Nacht hier verbracht und wurden super verwohnt. Vielen Dank.

Thanks for the hospitality
Stayed two nights here in this beautiful Villa. Our bus arrived one hour late due to some mechanical breakdown and when we got off at the bus station we saw Steve and Sermsri were there waiting. Interesting trip to the teak temple and Phu Chi Fah. Thanks for the hospitality.we experienced true hospitality

We found ourselves tired of cities (BKK, CM and CR) and luckily discovered the Villa, Steve, Sermsri, Spike and fellow guest Nelson. Over five (ish) days we experienced true hospitality, incredible generosity, and the rich (and often complex) experiences of Northern Thai culture. A local festival, hike in the hills/ (with a pair of 10 year old Hmong guides) and recon to the Laos border. We found great laughter and incredible rest - and the food kept coming - homecooking better than the best Boston restaurants.
We will be in touch - and send our friends.
So many wonderful memories

We stayed with Steve and Sermsri for 8 nights while on honeymoon in Thailand. We wish we had spent the entire duration here in their wonderful home! From the minute Steve picked us up at the airport it was like catching up with an old friend. Steve took us on many trips during our stay and his knowledge of local areas and customs is exceptional. Sermsri treated us like family from the moment she met us and had cooked for us some of the best food we have ever eaten!! During our stay Steve and Sermsri even arranged for us to take part in a traditional Thai wedding ceremony. They took care of every detail including a party to celebrate afterwards with Sermsri's family. The fun and good humor that night transcended language barriers and we havent laughed so much in ages!! They are all very special people. We will be taking away so many wonderful memories of our stay that will last a lifetime. Our honeymoon could not have been better.
A very relaxing place
Pedro, Jenny and Gillian Joseph (July 10th, 2011) - rating 92%
A very relaxing place which has beautiful decor. Very luxurious even being so far off the beaten track.
Stephen and Sermsri were as friendly as can be and the vegetarian cooking was delicious.
We will definitely be recommending this to our expat friends. A very relaxing place.

We were spoiled the entire stay!
Eric and Andrea Stover Seattle (May 25th, 2011) - rating 96%
What a beautiful place!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was great fun seeing the Teak Temple, the weaving and most importantly, the Rocket Festival!
Steve did a fantastic job finding the festival out in the middle of nowhere. It was a great adventure for all of us!
The next day was a trip to Phu Chi Fah to hike to the outlook. Another great adventure!
Sermsri's cooking was phenomenal! We never went hungry. We were spoiled the entire stay!
The company was great, the beer was cold, the pool was a perfect temp., the rooms were comfortable and the food was to die for!
The perfect way to end an awesome vacation! Cant wait to return.

How lucky we feel to have made the decision to come stay with you in your beautiful house. Your warmness and hospitality were what one gets when they come back home to relatives.
We feel priveledged to have been able to share your joy for life and the serenity your house exudes.
We look forward to returning to this area and hopefully planting seeds to root of our own in Chiang Rai Province.
It will be hard saying goodbye but much easier with the knowledge of our reuniting one day soon in the future.

A memorable day
Renate, Stefan and Mischa Loose (February 2nd, 2011) - rating 94%
While traveling around the North of Thailand coming to a village and finding such a beautiful place to rest is a great pleasure. Getting to know you and spending some time talking and visiting Thai Lue villages was a real treat.
Thank you for a memorable day. We hope to see you again and stay a bit longer in your lovely house.
A memorable day.

Thank you for your warm hospitality. I will carry memories of beautiful Chiang Rai Province, smiles of families in the hills, patterns of weaving from magic looms.
May our paths cross again.

We spent four nights here and it is just not enough to explore this wonderful part of Thailand so rich in culture. And, what a haven of peace and tranquility this house is.
Steve and Sermsri's hospitality and knowledge of this region is priceless.
We have to return one day soon!

Three nights in this lovely part of Thailand simply was not enough! We will return.

we were sorry that it wasnt longer...
Gary and Rose Zinkann (December 18th, 2010) - rating 92%
We were very fortunate to have found this wonderful haven. We enjoyed our restful stay and we were sorry that it wasnt longer. Our room was impeccably decorated and only a few steps from the pool.
The house they have built out here in the countryside is stunning.
Sermsri prepared a delicious curry soup along with three different Thai dishes that we couldnt stop eating.

Just like the pictures

Your new home is a dream. Just like the pictures... but even more so when you see the inside - the rooms, so well appointed - and peaceful.
I am very impressed with all that you give to have the good fortune to meet you here at Lanna Thai Villa. We have had so many exciting and beautiful experiences to carry inside ourselves for many years to come.
Thank you, till next time.

A perfect retreat
Karen Higgins (September 20th, 2010) - rating 94%
Having six days to settle in, tour the surrounding area (in sunshine) and have the added benefit of restful rain, has given me the complete trip I was seeking. The home front here is a dream. A perfect retreat. Sermsri's cooking has been a delight.
I hope to return in the future. Thanks for making this such a memorable trip.

everything was just perfect
Stephen and Suwadee Salmon and Andy Bond (January 10th, 2010) - rating 94%
We arrived after only 3 hours notice and everything was just perfect! We didnt know what to expect in such a little place - a village outside Amphur Thoeng - and we were amazed! Such comfort and pampering! ...
Again our many thanks for such an enjoyable short stay.

a truly incredible experience of relaxation
Mana, Vimol and Max Katkaphan (December 29th, 2009) - rating 96%
We spent 4 days with Steve and Sermsri in the place that offered a truly incredible experience of relaxation in the peaceful surroundings of Chiang Rai. The whole place is beautifully decorated. The bedrooms are spacious with attached Western style bathrooms. The pool makes it a picture perfect villa; we did not expect to see a residential pool so large - it feels like you are at a resort. Our son could not resist and enjoyed the pool even in the December cool weather.
The visit to the local temples - uniquely built and ornate, the incredible hosts, did everything possible to make our stay perfect; from the personal welcome at the airport upon arrival and at departure, visit to local interesting places, and best of all - excellent homemade food by Sermsri. We would recommend the villa to anyone who desires the quiet solitude and an absolutely first class property. Its a true paradise.
Its a True Paradise

a lovely reminder of our stay in Thailand
John and Anna Perry (November 30th, 2009) - rating 92%
Having done the tourist itinerary and enjoyed it immensely we were looking for some real Thailand - and we found it with Steve and Sermsri.
We had seen umpteen temples and Buddhas but Steve managed to show us yet more, really different ones - especially noteworthy - the White Temple. The Hill tribe villages were very interesting, especially their music and dancing. Each tribe having their own individual sounds and rhythms. As for the pottery, we only wished we had a trailer so we could have brought some home - they were wonderful. Best of all was the visit to the spinning and weaving house where the cotton and dyes were all grown in the garden and the ladies sat on the floor to prepare and make the fibres. We did manage to bring some fabric back with us - a lovely reminder of our stay in Thailand.
Steve and Sermsri could not have been more kind and helpful and the food was wonderful. All in all - "What are you waiting for?"
