We enjoyed out stay at Funky Monkey. Really friendly owners who live on sight, good location, awesome hot water and huge rooms that were really comfy. Would highly recommend! But all rooms require a trek up alot of stairs - keep that in mind if you have limited mobility! More

Stayed here for 4x nights in January and it was perfect. David and Nuy were very welcoming and offered lots of advice about where to go, things to do, places to eat, etc. The room was huge, and very clean and the location was perfect, able to walk to the markets, restaurants, around the centre and temples, etc. All trips...

I cannot rate this place highly enough, and would recommend it to all: Highlights: 1. The Price - It really is value for money. I had to move to another hotel for my last 2 nights as Funky Monkey was already booked up. I paid twice the price and it was nowhere near as lovely as Funky Monkey. 2. The... More

My partner and I stayed here twice in December 2011. We've just returned from a great tour of thailand and wanted to review the special places we stayed. We arrived here from bkk and a lengthy flight from the UK - from the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. It was our third trip to Chiang... More

While we didn't end up actually sleeping in the guesthouse (small plumbing issue), Nuay and David did everything they could to make our trip to Chiang Mai unforgettable. They helped us book all our activities, recommended some great outings, served us great food (and cold beer), and let us play with their dogs! They were such gracious hosts and we... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a few nights in November 2011. From the moment we arrived David and Nuy made us feel at home - we were treated more as old friends than paying guests. The rooms at Funky Monkeys are spotless and very spacious and Nuy dished up some of the best food we had on our... More

After reading the rave reviews I was very excited to book a room through Nuy to stay here. We stayed four nights and felt more like intruders then guests. David was kind enough to provide us some information on off the beaten path activities, however between his and his wifes moodiness the stay was a tad tarnished. Don't be fooled... More

I came back to chiang mai for the famous hospitality but boy was I dissapointed by this place. It doens't have a really homely feel about it. The room itself is way to big and as a result they think they can overcharge their guests on this basis. We had cockroaches in the Bathroom, but that's not unusual for Thailand.... More

Only got to stay here a few days. Always wanted to return, but they were booked constantly for every other day I was in town. Only a five star system here? So I guess I can't give it six. The couple who run it are great. Just leave David alone though until he has his morning coffee. ;-) The rooms... More
