Hotel berhampiran Air Terjun Mae Sa, Mae Rim

Summary: We had a great stay here at SkyView Monjam! The house had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay, albeit certain obscure corners could be cleaned up better. The staff were excellent and took great care of us, providing us with good food and catering to our requests as much as possible. Would definitely come back again for a relaxing retreat! Cleanliness: Overall very clean, though certain areas that are more difficult to reach in general could see certain signs of nature. But those areas are not visible unless you purposely look into it, which won't affect your stay overall. Staff will ask if the house needs to be cleaned daily, then changes the bedsheets and covers if yes. So rest assured that the sheets are clean and fresh. Location: Not the most accessible, but that should be expected when you are booking this place since it is up in the mountain area. Driving takes at least 1 hour with confident driving skills on windy mountainous roads. The last 200m or so to the house is bumpy off-road tracks. Transportation to and fro can be requested to the staff and booked at least 1 day in advance for a fixed fee. Do not bother trying to get Grab/Bolt rides as the final fare will end up much higher due to rural location and road condition. In fact, why bother going out when you can relax in nature 😃 Service: Simply put, it was equivalent to a 5-star resort. The staff were very accommodating to our requests and timings, even waiting for us near past their working hours and our requested time to help prepare our dinner! Be rest assured that you will be well taken care of during the stay! Amenities: The MVP was the speaker provided, it stayed with us throughout our whole stay. Wifi was strong and readily available despite being in a less urban area. Shower water is fixed at a temperature as the hot water is boiled using gas, so any adjustments will require assistance from the staff to physically change the gas intake of the boiler. The air-conditioning is not the strongest at cooling the entire house, so a standing fan is provided to help circulate the cool air around. Other than utensils which can be requested from the staff, cooking appliances and tools are readily available.

The hotel is beautiful, but it's built on a mountainside, so the buildings you need are spread out on a very steep road, so it's not easy to move around it. There are golf buggies that take you from place to place if you call them, but having to ask for a vehicle every time you want to go and eat or leave is quite annoying. The distances are walkable, but not if you have mobility issues. The pavements are also in far worse condition than the roads, so you end up walking on the roads and having to keep jumping out the way of the passing vehicles. Photos are attached of the view of the very steep road going up next to our balcony to show an example of the scale of the steepness. The location is remote. Apparently taxi apps like Grab and Bolt do not work here, although we did manage to quickly book a Bolt to take us here from Chiang Mai centre. A car and driver can be hired from the hotel for 2500 baht for 4 hours. I wouldn't recommend visiting if you don't have your own vehicle, as there is nothing nearby you can walk to. On check-in, the hotel said they offered room service, but there were no menus in the rooms. The room cleaning was slow if you are on a higher floor - on our 2 days, they didn't manage to visit all morning despite us leaving the ”please clean room” sign on the door. I found out later that you can ring reception to ask your room to be prioritised. The restaurant is expensive compared to central Chiang Mai, and they recommend that you reserve a table every night you want to eat there, but the food was good. Service was a bit chaotic. On the night we arrived, at 5:30 pm, reception told us they had reserved a table for us. But when we went to the restaurant, that did not seem to be the case, and we were taken to an unreserved table in a loud and echoey room. I then had to go up and ask to order as no-one came, and then the order was missing items when it did arrive. Randomly on the grounds near the lobby, there is a parrot in a tiny cage compared to its size with no entertainment, hardly any plants, and barely anywhere to perch. It's really sad to see.

My stay was overall okay, and the room itself was clean with amenities restocked daily, which I appreciated. However, it does feel like the hotel is cutting corners in ways that impact the guest experience. The body gel and shampoo provided were very low quality, and I was surprised to find there was an extra charge for additional towels. Since the hotel is located farther from town, it would greatly benefit guests if amenities were more accommodating — such as keeping the bar and café open past 18:00 and offering an on-site laundry room. The balcony was a nice feature, but unfortunately there was no seating to actually enjoy the space. While the hotel meets basic standards, improving the quality of amenities and making small adjustments for guest comfort would make a significant difference, especially given its remote location.

I had a wonderful stay at Nai R Kaad and would absolutely recommend it, especially for solo travelers or anyone looking for peace and nature. The cabin is stunning and beautifully designed, blending perfectly with the surrounding mountains. The view is truly outstanding sunset time was magical and easily one of the highlights of my trip. The BBQ experience was great and very well set up, making it such a special moment to enjoy dinner while overlooking the mountains. The service was excellent: staff were kind, attentive, and made sure everything was well prepared and comfortable during my stay. Since the cabin is located in the mountains, it does get quite cold in the evening. While the bed was comfortable with a normal blanket, there were no heaters or extra blankets available for outdoor seating. A few outdoor blankets would make the experience even more perfect, especially if you plan to eat outside. It’s also worth noting that there are no shops or attractions nearby due to the remote location, so it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks or drinks if you’re staying more than one night. For a one-night stay, however, it was absolutely perfect for me as a solo traveler. Overall, this is a beautiful, peaceful place with breathtaking views and great service. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it for a unique mountain escape in Chiang Mai.

Very cozy and nice resort in Mon Jam. The resort architecture was really homey. We came to the resort too early before check-in time but we've been received great service and hospitalized to get early check-in also been upgraded to the bigger room to ”Mon Fah” that you can enjoy the stunning view at your room great balcony area. Hot chamomile tea retreated me from a bit cold but fresh greenery after rain during check-in waiting. After check-in, we took lunch at resort restaurant that they had Michaelin stars 3 consecutive years. Food was fresh and very healthy delicious especially organic vegg. We felt very warm hospitalized from all service minded and well trained staffs and especially 'Pee Su” the owner. All fruits especially papaya was really sweet and fresh. We encouraged yo support local organic farm directly here that you can enjoy shopping papaya, lemon, and seasonal vegg and fruits here. ”Nong Kwan” the resort staff brought us to the local chilli, lettuce and cabbage farm down hill that easy to access from resort. She's really friendly and amazingly she learnt how to plant by herself, from long year experience learning by doing was such a great expertise that she shared her know how with us and we learnt from her a lot about high land plantation. We appreciated Pee Su, Long Kwan and all staffs provided us great service like friends visit home. We promised next time to Mon Jam, we'll revisit your place once again for sure.

We had a truly lovely experience. Stayed for two nights and it was absolute perfection — the views, the atmosphere, the mountain air — everything was just right. The complimentary breakfast is simple but satisfying: congee, eggs, sausage, toast, and instant coffee or tea. We also ordered dinner both nights — highly recommend it! The hot pot + BBQ combo was incredible, and the other dishes were equally delicious. Make sure to have enough cash with you, the bbq is not to be missed!  Do note: the location is a bit remote, nestled high in the mountains, and the journey can be tricky. Google Maps directions are inaccurate, so be sure to follow the clearly marked signs leading to the homestay. Thank you to the beautiful family who hosted us — your warmth and hospitality made our stay unforgettable.

✨ An Overwhelmingly Amazing Stay at Chai Cheevit Maesa ✨ The journey to the resort itself felt like an adventure — the off-terrain road might be a little wild, but it only added to the excitement and made the arrival even more rewarding. From the very first moment, we were greeted with an incredibly warm welcome. The staff here are beyond wonderful — always helpful, attentive, and thoughtful, even before our arrival when communication and service were impressively fast. And then… the view! Just wow. Absolutely worth the drive. It truly feels like a hidden gem tucked away from the chaos of the city. The peace and calm of the surroundings instantly washed away the stress of daily life — such a refreshing escape. Every detail of our stay was filled with care. From the flawless service throughout to our beautiful evening dinner, everything felt personal and special. It’s rare to find a place that gives both adventure and tranquility in one experience. The only downside? Having to leave such an amazing place! I would 100% recommend Chai Cheevit Maesa to anyone looking for something unique, peaceful, and unforgettable. I’m already planning to come back — and next time, I’ll be staying longer!

I really loved the service at NJ Homestay. Although the staff may not speak or understand English very well, we managed just fine using Google Translate. Our room’s toilet did give us some trouble during our stay — the water heater wasn’t working at first, and later the toilet had flushing issues, which continued throughout the two nights we were there. That said, I want to give a special shoutout to the staff, who were always patient and helpful, never hesitating to assist us with unclogging the toilet or checking the heater whenever there was a problem. The location isn’t the most convenient since it’s up in the mountains, but having a private driver made a big difference. Breakfast was included and it was great. As for cleanliness, it was acceptable considering the homestay is located in a mountainous area — some bugs are expected, and roosters start crowing as early as 3:30 a.m. Overall, the beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, fresh air, and friendly staff and locals (Chiang Mai people are generally very warm and welcoming) made the stay worthwhile. I would definitely visit again.

Highly recommended for Muslim travelers!!! We are a family of 5 with kids aged 18,13 and 10. This is our first time visiting this place. We came directly from the airport around 9pm, taxi fare was about 1500bht and the journey is about 1 hr. The moment we reached Mon View Ngarm, the weather was about 13 degrees!  We stayed at the Family Room (required a little hike from the check-in counter).  Check-in process is seamless and the staff guided us to our room.  The room is amazingly clean (no insects or even mosquitoes!) and the view in the morning is AMAZINGLY BREATHTAKING ! Halal Breakfast was simple for the 2 days we stayed. They had a little corner specifically for this and many other Muslim travellers were here too. Travelling around the area (if you have 5 pax) like me, I recommend you hire a private driver for the whole day (hotel can arrange for you) Mine cost about 1500bht. I’ll also recommend you to have Hotpot dinner at the breakfast restaurant in the hotel. It’s simple but it’s worth it to enjoy with the weather! Not all staff can speak English, so I have to use Google translate at times.  Overall, I couldn’t get enough of this place! Will definitely come back again to explore more. Don’t forget to bring proper clothing! Temperature will drop from late afternoon.

The place looks kinda old. Hopefully they can do something about their road. The condition is not really good. The food to me is delicious. Especially the Khao Soi. I enjoy that the most. Is a nice place to be honest. Hopefully they can do some renovation and make it more aesthetic.
