JXXXL Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Anyone have experience with this place? I have a friend coming into town and wants to stay here. I drove by the other day and it looks quaint from the outside and the location is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I know the Owner's they are nice people, the rooms are very well decorated (traditional Thai style)and the ambience is good along with the location , as it is very easy to get into town from there. Although I have'nt stayed there, I would venture that it's OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place looks quite nice from the outside. But, what struck me was how much potential it has if they spent a little money fixing the place up. There are some really interesting old building on the promises that would look fantastic if they were refurbished. Not a criticism, but more of a compliment; it's a really interesting place that easily goes unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The original buiding at the back dates back a few centuries. They use it to live in themselves, yes it looks a bit tardy, but their's is quite a new venture and they need income before they start "doing it up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet pompies Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Stayed there, had the room on the second floor next to the road, very noisy. The others should be OK. Nice people, but no pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiberdeen Loon Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I am visiting Chiang Mai as part of my first visit to Thailand in April 2006. I was planning on staying at the Baan Orapin based on a number of very good reports on several Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently got permission from the owners to view the interior of the house. The guest rooms are in new buildings. Some rooms are quite nice, esp the one upstairs on the right. Nice little cafe too.
