The Wes Village

The Wes Village is a small bed-and-breakfast at 499 Moo 1 in Chiang Dao — a handful of king and deluxe king rooms with mountain and garden outlooks, not a private villa. Think guesthouse with shared grounds rather than a self-contained holiday home.

The outdoor pool faces the surrounding hills, with a garden, sun terrace and outdoor seating around it. An on-site restaurant covers meals, and free parking makes it an easy stop if you’re driving yourself. Some booking sites tack breakfast or dinner onto the room name as a promotion — check what’s actually included on your rate before you book.

Insider Tip: Plan to arrive well before 18:00. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 18:00, earlier than most city hotels, so a late bus or Chiang Mai transfer needs advance notice to the property.

Rooms are split between king and deluxe king only — some deluxe units add a kitchenette, balcony or terrace, but it varies room to room, so ask for the exact layout if either matters to you. The draw here is the rural, mountain-view setting; the trade-off is less flexibility for late arrivals and a smaller room list than a full hotel.

Booking.com rates it 8.6/10 from 344 reviews, in line with the pool, restaurant, free parking and bed-and-breakfast setup described above.

Check-out runs from 06:00 to 11:00. Search for it as “The Wes Village” — some booking sites tack on a meal-plan suffix that comes and goes.
