We are offering a homestay in Chiang Mai for families or small groups who want to be vacation together and have everything they need at their fingertips.

Dining together affordably, group transportation, access to pool and fitness centre and even tours custom created for your group be it family, golfing or business group.

At times hotel living and local sightseeing has it's limitations and some people want to experience something new and different. Here you have an opportunity to have a golfing group stay together and enjoy what Chiang Mai has to offer in terms of great golf courses and nightlife.

For families with children this is simply fantastic. A maid that can help look after the children or take them to the swimming pool and watch over them while you shop, or dine in Chiang Mai and the family can visit tourist sites together and not have to leave and depart per set times.

See a set of shops by the side of the road you want to visit? Then tell the driver to stop there while you check out the local bargains.


3 bed, 2 bath executive house with maid, van and driver at your disposal
A gorgeous executive wheelchair accessible one level 3 bedroom home, fully furnished with microwave, fridge, kitchen table, dining room table, living room and tv with dvd player.

A magnificent home set in an exclusive area of homes that have a swimming pool, and fitness centre.

A private maid, driver and van are at your beckoned call.

Ideal for a group of 3-6 that wants to be together in safe, very comfortable surroundings knowing that everything will be looked after from laundry to transportation.

A large living room features a table and chairs in one area when you can sit and chat or play cards and a tv, couch and chairs in another area for those wanting to watch tv or a rented movie. Just make yourself at home.

Now my first thought when I see a lovely villa like this is price. How much and can I afford it?

For a person on his own it is pricey and even for a couple a bit pricey. But for 3-6 people it is a bargain and we will explain why and why our sister tour site highly recommends this accommodation to it's tour clients.

A good hotel room in Chiang Mai will set you back 1,500 to 2,000 baht a night and that is for 2 people. If you have 6 people for example the total cost becomes 4,500 to 6,000 baht a night.

The room will unlikely have a fridge, the tv will be small, no dvd player and perhaps not even a balcony. In terms of size you will be looking at one room at about 30-40 sq. m.





For a group of 6 people Chiang Mai hotel accommodations, tours, meals and transportation will amount to about:

- 3 hotel rooms 4,500 - 6,000 baht/night for 7 nights = 31,500 - 42,000 baht
- transportation for group of 6 during full week = 3,000 - 4,000 baht
- lunch and dinner for group of 6 for 5 days = 9,000 baht ++
- sightseeing for 4 days for group of 6 at 9k a day x 4 days = 36k baht

TOTAL ESTIMATED COST in Hotel : 79.5 - 90k baht

The total estimated cost in a hotel does not include laundry costs and cost of babysitter/sitter or snacks and refreshments be it beer or soft drinks.



For a group of 6 people Chiang Mai accommodations in this executive 3 bedroom villa, tours, meals and transportation will amount to about:

- $625 to $850 US (equiv. to 18.5k baht - 25.5k baht) for the week
- meals delivered for 5 days from local restaurant = 3,000 baht
- 4 days of private tours arranged by Chiangmai-grouptours with licensed guide and includes entrance fees for group of 6 at 7k a day x 4 days = 28k baht

TOTAL ESTIMATED COST in Executive Villa : 49.5 - 56.5 baht

The total estimated cost in this private villa include laundry, babysitter/sitter and snacks and refreshments.



Three separate bedrooms, one with queen size bed and two bedrooms with twin beds and each with their own a/c
So how does staying in a nice hotel compare with staying in this executive villa for one week in terms of costs and amenities?

The total estimated cost in the hotel is about 80 - 90k baht and the total estimated cost in this villa is about 50- 57k baht.

The villa comes out ahead by a large margin in terms of cost. Now consider that you will all be together, be part of custom designed tours where you will see more and be more in control and your accommodations will be larger and more homier. If you want a snack or a refreshment simply help yourself.


And that is why we refer to this luxury and cost saving accommodations as Homestay. Not a small hotel room with old mattress but a new villa with all that you had back home, and perhaps more.

Sit on the porch overlooking the large landscaped property and relax

Now it is up to you if you want to use the services of Chiangmai-grouptours for your touring needs.

Just keep in mind that a licensed tour guide can explain, answer questions and even watchover the group.

For your shopping needs the guide can recommend businesses that you can receive a discount and the guide can even help you negotiate for a better price.

For groups of 3-6 this is as good as it gets.
