My favorite hotel in all of Thailand! The manager & staff are so friendly and helpful, and have perfect fluent English.
I caught a local bus to get to the hotel, & discovered upon arrival that they would have happily picked me up at the bus terminal in town. Then Mr Hong kindly drove me back to the bus terminal to check the timetable for my bus to Phayao the next day (lucky he did, as they didn't run as often as I had thought).
During the drive Mr Hong gave me a short tour of the town, pointing out the best places to visit during my stay (don't miss the best walking street market in Thailand!).
The room was very comfortable with king bed, balcony with table & chairs, hot shower, fresh fluffy towels, a desk space, and decent wifi connection.
The hotel is very modern & has three floors which can be accessed by elevator or stairs, and it's a nice peaceful place without too much noise, just a short stroll from the town centre (maybe 15 minutes walk).
The breakfast buffet was a great spread with all the usual western & Thai foods including noodles, eggs & ham, but also comprising plenty of fruits, & delicious cakes.
I was traveling solo during my birthday, and it was such a great & special touch when the staff came out singing happy birthday & carrying a birthday cake for me! It was completely unexpected and so wonderful.
Thank you Baan Nan Hotel! I wish I could have stayed longer, & I'm definitely looking for an excuse to return soon :-)
