Ashi Guesthouse Chiangdao

I've stayed at Ashi before and I'm mainly there for the location, spectacular view of the mountain, the ramen & craft beer, and the fine company of the hosts who I often hang out with in the cafe and chit chat. It feels like I'm visiting with friends and hanging out at their house. The upper floor big veranda afforded such spectacular view of the mountain each morning. Bring ear plugs because the night critters are noisy around these parts!

My room's bathroom was struggling to drain and got worse as the days went by. It became a puddle and required longer and longer to drain. No other issues.

Best view in Thailand with a lovely host!

The food is quite simple

Best thing was the location. Superb place to watch the Sun go Down. Good Base also for Trips such as walking & exploring the area. Room was satisfactory with Common Area for mingling & coffee station. Craft Beer served was excellent & Staff generally friendly.

Breakfast was limited with just the basics available. Need to arrange your Transport to get around as a distance from the Town. Some places closed, due to Low Season visit. Access difficult if you have restricted mobility.

The spacious wooden deck was a beautiful feature, however non of the lounger cushions were laid out like in the listing photos. Great views.

The wall divider in our deluxe room was super thin, which meant we could hear every pin drop from our neighbours room, breathing, chatting, farting and them using the toilet. Which was not great for privacy. Just something to consider. This also meant that when they checked out and the room was being cleaned super early in the morning, there was a lot of noise before 08:00 in the morning.
