Welcome
You made it.
Two houses. Side by side. Yours for the stay.
The mountain's been there a while. The rooftop's waiting. The rest of this little book tells you everything else you might want to know — but the short version is: make yourself at home, and ask us anything.

The rooftop is the reason a lot of people book this house.Two small things: fold the umbrella down when you're done or when the rain's coming, and bring the cushions inside after.

Good news: you've got a fairy godmother! She arrives every Wednesday at 9:00 AM and works her magic for 3-4 hours. She clean the common area and for the bedrooms only light cleaning (surface). If you don’t want her to clean a bedroom please lock the door.
Vacuum
Cordless, lives in the kitchen. If it runs out of battery, the charger is on the shelf above the washing machine.
There's a wireless vacuum chilling in the house usually in the 1st floor, feel free to use it and bring it back

For one bedroom rent and airbnb guest, electricity is on us.
For monthly guests, we will ask you to participate by 700 bath for one room. If you rent the full house we will share with you the amount of the bills. (Water is on us !)
House Rules & organisation
Calm and Respect
Our house is your peaceful sanctuary. To keep this zen vibe going for everyone (including our neighbors), we kindly ask that you keep gatherings chill after 9:30 PM.
If things get wild enough to involve the police, there's a 10,000 baht party fee
Toilets (Important!)
Here's a Thai plumbing quirk: the pipes are a bit sensitive. Please don't flush toilet paper, feminine products, or anything else down the loo—use the bin provided instead. If we need to call in a plumber for a rescue mission, there will be a service charge.
Smoking
Fresh air only inside, please! Smoking is only on the roof top but not in the house - not even in the balcony as the smoke can disturb the neiborhood (fine: 2500 baht)
Bins & Trash
Always use plastic bags in the bins—nothing goes directly into the black bins (we like to keep things tidy!). Even the one outside.
On collection days, roll the black bin close to the road. The trash collecting service come by 3 times a week to whisk it all away.
Ants and food
To maintain a clean and pest-free house, please store all food items sealed or in refrigerator. Avoid leaving food, fruit plates, or sugar out on counters.. Our tropical climate attracts ants and insects quickly, and while they appreciate the snacks, our cleaning team (and future guests!) will appreciate a tidy space
Breakages & Damages
Life happens! Dropped a glass? The TV break ? Stain on wall, bed linen or floor that don’t go away? Just let us know before you head out and we'll figure it out together.
Safe & Secure
This house may have quite a lot of back and forth as the room ground floor may become a cafe or an event place and the 1st a office. We are not responsible for any lost to personal belongins and suggest to lock your door and valuable objects
Plants
See that lovely tree out front? If you're feeling generous, it would love a drink twice a week. But if you're on vacation mode, no worries at all—we've got it covered!
Q&A
I can't find the place! Help!
Google Maps — search "The Little House." Look for the big white four-floor house, one minute from Jed Yod Temple. Most houses on the street look similar — ours is the one on the right with the grey area and the padlock on the entrance door. No padlock means you're at the neighbor's.
Is it self check-in?
We try to greet everyone in person. If we can't catch you at the door, we send the entry code the day before.
Does the room have A/C, hair dryer, parking, WiFi...?
Yes to all of those — the full list is on the Airbnb listing. Anything not mentioned, just ask. We'll tell you if we can make it work.
Can I leave my luggage before check-in or after check-out?
Absolutely! If you're arriving early or leaving late, you're welcome to store your luggage with us in the common space. Just a friendly reminder that luggage storage is at your own responsibility.
Can I do laundry?
Yes. Use the MIX program on the washing machine, pop detergent in the left compartment and softener in the middle, and you're good to go. Dry your clothes on the rooftop not in the common room.
Do you provide toothpaste, toothbrush, or bottled water?
Drinking water — yes. The rest is yours to bring or buy. is five minutes away.
How do I lock my bedroom door?
Take the key with you, press the button on the inside handle, close the door. If you loose your key there's a 700฿ fee.
When do you change towels and bed linens?
Towels — manage them yourself, however you like. Bed linens — the cleaner changes them every two weeks.
Can we hear airplanes?
Occasionally. Way less than Nimman, but the airport is real, so a plane goes by now and then. The house is well soundproofed. To hear absolutely nothing, you'd need to be much farther from the city.
Where is the first aid kit and extinguer ?
First aid kit — inside the cutlery cabinet near the stairs. Fire extinguishers — one large unit on the ground floor by the stairs, smaller units across the other floors.
Nearest hospital Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai — 15 minutes away.
Anything bigger or weirder than that, call us first.
