Staying At Thung Dong Farm
Thung Dong is a country farm in all sense of the word. We are not and do not intend to become a resort. However, we do enjoy sharing the farm with folks who wish to come and stay with us to experience genuine farm-life in Thailand . Our guest accommodation are comfortable with all amenities and we are sure that your stay on the farm will be a memorable one.

The Farm HouseDo you remember the original chili-pickers rooms that we inherited when we bought the farm over a decade ago? (See our Home page-More information about us-Farm’s History). We extended and converted this old wooden building into a livable house some years ago and we have now just finished a refurbishment to make it very attractive guest accommodation. Just the bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen have walls!..the rest is open to the fresh air! It comprises of one double bedroom with lounge and one single bedroom with shared rustic bathroom; an open lounge, dining room, relaxing area, kitchen and a Chinese day-bed verandah with loungers!...and just a few months back with have built a staircase at the far end of The Farm House and so now the The Garden Room and The Thai Kitchen plus an additional bathroom are easily accessible. We are able to add more beds as required. There is a flat screen satellite TV so you can keep in touch with the outside world if you wish!
It is very traditional Thai and made entirely of wood and very comfortable. The Farm House is ideal for families or couples who want space to relax and to take in the atmosphere and the fresh farm air! |
The Sunset Room

We are very happy to be able to show you The Sunset Room coverted from one of the outbuildings but very comfortable with all amenities at hand including a kitchenette, private garden and a ‘wide angle’ Sala!l (Magic for eating in the warmer months!). Ideal for couples or especially for a family with children as it is adjacent to The Bunk Room which is great accommodation for kids. These two rooms share a long, wide verandah and this secluded, self contained annex offers privacy and comfort although guests have the whole farm to explore and enjoy. There are soothing views across the lower field and superb sunsets….nature allowing! We have tried our very best to blend these buildings into the country-side whilst offering farm-life from a great vantage point!

The Garden Room The Garden Room is an out-house near the Thai kitchen and the open camp fire which we use in the winter. It has one double bed and, if required, an extra fold-away bed. There is a curtain for privacy that can divide this room into two sleeping areas. The ceilings are made from a fallen teak tree which was hand cut into planks. It is very cosy and has a separate wash-room and separate shower room. It is ideal for couples alone or with one or two small children.

The Bunk RoomThe Bunk Room is compact and sleeps three. It is adjacent and complements The Sunset Room built into older outbuildings. There’s one bunk, with upper and lower single beds and a single bed. It has a big bathroom. The bedroom opens onto a long, wide veranda which faces west over the pasture and catches the late afternoon sun.
The Bunk Room may only be reserved in conjunction with The Sunset Room. |

Camping On The FarmFor those of our guests that enjoy being just that little bit closer to nature we are able to provide tents, sleeping bags, camp mattresses and all essential camping equipment. We can plan your camp close to the farm house or lake-side. For those who really want to get away from it all we can even set-up camp in our jungle valley, surrounded by mountains and not another building in sight and yet just a five minute walk to the farm house,Its a great way to combine a camping holiday with homestay in Chiang Mai.
Please note the camping facility is available to guests who also reserve one of our rooms. There is no additional cost for camping and is ideal for youngsters who like a little bit of adventure! |
