Guest Houses in Mae Salong

Shin Sane is an institution. It's been around since 1970. It was the first Guest house to open in Mae Salong, and it's still going strong. I stayed here the first time in the early 90's. Back in the days, there were just the wooden hostel building. They have stayed on top of the game ever since, and these days there's also a modern guest house block and some cute looking Bungalows with thatched roof. Of some pot luck, I got almost the same room as last time, above the arch over the road facing the morning market. Nostalgica. The old rooms are remarkably well looked after, very clean and upgraded with good lighting and electricity outlets, perfectly fine for budget backpackers. The common bathrooms are spacious and clean. If you need more, go for the new rooms. Staff speak English, transport information is provided (and it leaves right outside the door). The WiFi is superb. There is an outdoor sitting area and cold drinks are for sale. It's a very well run place.

With 4 choices of breakfast. Stayed 3 nights and do like the congee. Homemade jam is nice. Room size is fine. Cool air conditioning. Friendly staff.
