We spent 5 days with Kem and Kat, a wonderful, accommodating couple of hosts! We checked in very early on the first day, and Kem had breakfast waiting for us, then arranged for a motorbike rental and spent time with us planning our days in Chiang Mai.

Firstly they arranged for someone to meet us off the plane... more

He told me he had a room available... more
