I've seen Chaba House from my Thai Massage School TMC's reference page for accomodations and when i saw the pictures of the place, i fell in love with it! And it was 6th January, 2012, i arrived in Chiang Mai to stay in this beautiful Guest House for 5 weeks. I had great friendships there. In Chaba House, you become like a family. The owner of the place, his name is Mr. Pathom, he is a wonderfal man, speaks English very good. A young couple, Dan and Moi work in Chaba House, they are also very lovely people. The breakfast is Vegetarian and is prepared by Mr.Pathom's lovely wife, she is a great person with high hospitality. The rooms are big and you have your own toilet and shower. You can rent bicycles for 30 Baht a day from Dan.
I had the most great times of my life for 5 weeks with my other Thai Massage Student friends in Chaba House and i will never forget it. I hope i will be there next year again. It is near the city center, you can get a tuk tuk or rent a motorbike to go around the city. Around Chaba House, there is everything you can find, food, clothes, street vendors, stationary, supermarkets, atm's, ....everthing...
I want to thank for everthing to Mr.Pathom, his wife, staff of the guesthouse Dan and Moi, and other travellers....
You will never regret your stay in Chaba House and it will teach you a lot!
The prices of the rooms are too reasonable so go and see it yourself! And enjoy the garden of Chaba House which you can never find anywhere in Chiang Mai.
Lots of love and peace,
Sebla
