The setting and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful but what makes this hotel truly unique and unforgettable are the owners and staff. Ian, Vassana, Nan and crew really make you feel welcome and at ease. My 3 days at the Viang Yonok are something I will never forget. My bungalow was comfortable, quiet and tastefully decorated. The hotel grounds are... More

I have lived in Chiang Mai for two years and my Thai girlfriend is from Chiang Rai and neither of us have ever been here. You are given attention and service here with you making the choices of what you want to do. Walk or ride a bike (borrowed from resort) in the area, kayak on the like, swim in... More

What should we say about Viang Yonok? It was a big surprise. We got the place recommended by a friend who had a stay there a view days ago and told us, the Viang Yonok is a MUST! After a long day on our motorbike we finally reached the Resort, it is a bit outside the city near a nice... More

Our first trip to Thailand (to meet up with our adult son who lives in HK), a wonderful experience from the moment we were met by Chai at the airport. Nothing was too much trouble. A beautiful location, calm, the peace only broken by the wonderful birdsong all around, it was a perfect place to stay. The accommodation was comfortable... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here before our boat trip down the Mekong. Ian and Vassana treated us as friends rather than hotel guests. They went out of their way to show us the region. Ian took us on an all day trip through the mountains up to and along the Burma border, finishing at a unique and fascinating... More

We stayed here for 3 nights after Ian had picked us up after a 2 day trip up the Mekong River from Laos and we were so delighted that we had chosen to stay here.. To be honest I felt like we were on a home stay =, we were made to feel so welcome, relaxed and we really did... More

When you stay at this family-run hotel, its feels like you are visiting friends. Husband and wife owners Ian and Vassana put a lot of love into their business. They were friendly and helpful and took time to get to know us. Employee Chai, helped out everywhere (restaurant, transportation, answering questions) and has a great sense of humor. One day,...

What a cosy, peaceful place! Chai made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Very comfy beds, clean chalets and excellent "full monty" breakfast. Each chalet has a verandah with a view of the lake, the garden is full of birds and an adequate plunge pool to cool off and enjoy your sundowners by. Definitely will be... More
