Peaceful little place 40min drive outside of town. We stayed here a few nights for some relaxation and it was perfect. There are a couple tiny shops that are 5min walk that sell water, beer and limited snacks. The accommodation has 2 motorbikes for rent 350 THB per day. There isn’t much in this area so you will need the motorbike if you want to explore more. We found a few little restaurants within 20min walk and they were great. There’s a cooking class 5min walk away that was great - Thai Secret Cooking. There are Grabs in the area too. There are 4 chalets on the property plus a big wooden house that’s communal with lots of sitting areas. The lotus pond is beautiful and there are many birds here including ducks. There are roses, chili plants and mango trees here too. Each chalet is the same with a big bed and a huge TV with free Netflix! The shower is hot and the bathroom is big for Thailand. You can talk to them on WhatsApp and whoever is on WhatsApp speaks perfect English. In person, the English isn’t good but they are so friendly and lovely. It looks like a family running the place. We got a fabulous Thai breakfast each morning delivered to the room. It seems like they waited for our shades to be open between 7-8am and they bring it to your deck. They catered to my vegetarian diet too. You can order lunch and dinner from their menu which is limited but so delicious. Highly recommend this place if you want some peace and quiet. It’s close to nature and so many nice drives if you want to get a bike. We chose to walk and it was just perfect. Very warm and comfortable Thai hospitality!

The rice farm itself was beautiful and very serene. The room was big and spacious and all the amenities were nice. There was a fridge and coffee and a huge front porch to hang out on which I liked, and the breakfast in the morning was good.

When we arrived there was no one there and the main building wasn't open at all but luckily our cab driver was able to talk to the woman for us. I thought there was going to be some sort of restaurant at the property along with activities to do and there were not any, so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was cute but we didn't really have anything to do there and it was strange with the whole property being so dark.

Monmin Farmstay is located in a rural area not far from Chiang Mai. The property is well-maintained and is overlooking a pond and some rice fields. There are quite a number of coffeeshops and small restaurants in the area, so you do not necessarily have to drive to Chiang Mai to have dinner. Every morning we were served a simple but tasty Thai breakfast. Communication with the staff at the property was in Thai (Google translate). Communication with the owner (based in Bangkok) was in English, but sometimes with a bit of delay. We enjoyed our stay and it is a great place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but you would preferably need to have your own transport.

The access to the property is through a number of small winding rural roads. If you are not used to driving in Thailand, these can be a bit daunting, particularly at night.
