Old Trees House is situated in an Idyllic location, nestling on a hillside 5 minute walk from Thaton village. A tranquil friendly family atmosphere is created by Frenchman Paulo and hisThai wife, Nid. Paulo was very helpful in giving advice on trips,and providing short journey transport into Thaton and the nearest small town 8 kilometres away.Transport is essential to explore... More

While this hotel is listed as being located in Mae Ai, it is really in Thaton. The hotel has about 6 bungalows in lovely grounds with beautiful gardens and a small infinity pool surrounded by two of the bungalows and the main lodge. It is quiet and off the main road. When we arrived and when we left, help with... More

We are a young Australian vegetarian couple and we had just the one night in Thaton on our short trip around Northern Thailand. We would have loved to have stayed longer at Old Tree's House. After the bus from Chiang Mai dropped us off in Thaton, we used the phone box nearby to phone to be picked up. Shortly after,... 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

If you want to stay in a quiet, beautiful and peaceful place in North Thaïland, choose this one. Far away from the cities, Thaton is the best spot to explore the Gold Triangle and get to know about people, tribes and refugees. Paulo, the Frenchman who designed, built and now owns Old Tree's house (whose name was inspired by ...... More

What a wonderful place! Paulo and Nid have made a beautiful spot and are the most welcoming and friendly hosts. 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
