I stayed 4 nights in June in Thaton which is a lovely mountain village on my way from Chiang Mai to Laos. Thaton offers a big choice of GH so as usual i used TripAdvisor to get usefull advices. I was quite astonished to discover a very bad brand new review amongst lots of very good ones and I thought... More

My husband and I selected this B&B based on the Trip Advisor reviews and several emails with Paulo (the owner) who made it clear that we would be his only guests for 3 nights and he would be able to escort us on all of the excursions listed on his web site. We never would have chosen to stay in... More

we stayed in a poolside bungalow, which was clean and well maintained. We could not eat here other than breakfast as the owners were away, and the staff cannot prepare meals. The position is good, an easy 10 minute walk to town. We used the rainbow cafe in tha ton. It was ok. You are staying with the family, so... More

When we mentioned that we wanted to do some hiking, Paulo hooked us up with a local guide named Renato. He was a wealth of information and a really fun guide. Ask for him- he was fantastic!! The food was... More

All I can say is WOW!!!! During my 2 week trip to Thailand, Thaton and Old Tree's House were by far my favorite experiences. Thaton is a small village about 3 hours north of Chiang Mai on the border of Burma (Myanmar). It looks to be a one road town with a handful of roadside cafes and B&Bs. We found... More

We chose to stay at Old Trees House, having travelled to Thailand many times before, as we wanted to see this area for the 1st time, and show our kids a relatively unspoilt part of the country. We flew to Chiang Rai and next morning were picked up by Paulo's driver who drove us the 1.5 hours to Thaton. Thaton... More

This Guest House is strongly recommended to travellers who like to have kindly and genuine contacts with people. First of all, everyone is nice and helpful in the house, Nid and Paulo, the owners, but also all the staff. You can speak French with Paulo, English with Paulo, Nid and a part of the staff, ThaÏ (!) with the rest... More
