Gumbie House

The Gumby House is an oasis with a treasure trove of sitting spots with garden views, whimsical artwork, well kept plants, and immaculate landscaping. The owners Soi and Roí are extraordinary hosts. Their warmth and kindness radiate throughout this well-tended compound. They are among the few organic farms in the area and provide jobs to local villagers. They even grow and sell their own brown rice. They are a farm to table business. All meals are beautifully presented and delicious. They serve both traditional Thai dishes as well as western meals. Soi makes her bread and they have a pizza oven for hand crafted pizzas. The coffee shop serves delicious cappuccino and other drinks. They sell gift bags of coffee, tea and other treats. There are several cottages sprinkled about with lots of privacy and opportunity to listen to the birds in peace and quiet. Their warmth compound has a pond, small infinity pool, dining areas and lots of paths to meander around. Nearby are the Fang Hot Springs, Fang, and the Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park. In the park is where you can hike to the top of Thailand’s 2nd highest mountain. It’s about 2 hours from Chiang Mai and worth spending 3-4 days.

Stayed for three nights as part of a photography nature tour. The accommodation was lovely with many homely touches. Our host could not have been more helpful and accommodating, she went out of way to make our stay enjoyable. All in all a lovely little family run guest house.
