Shin Sane Guest House and Bungalows
Bet budget option in Mae Salong
What we say: 
Located pretty much in the central part of Mae Salong, Shin Sane Guesthouse and Bungalows has rooms in the wooden house out the front and cute concrete bungalows around a small garden out the back -- watch your step in the garden as the pathway can be very slippery. While all are clean and well kept it is a shame that the bungalows are not a little better placed for a view. The restaurant serves good and inexpensive food and the staff are very friendly -- the banana shakes are great! There is some information on the wall and their trekking map (free for guests, 10B for non-guests) is invaluable if you're planning on getting into the hinterland a little. Almost 35 years old, Shin Sane was the first guesthouse to open in Mae Salong - it must have been a pretty wild out place back then. Recommended.

Not too shabby
We headed straight for Shine Sane based on the positive review here, and it was a good place to stay, although next time we would probably choose Little Home next door which looked very nice and the family running it was just perfect. But back to Shin Sane. We stayed in a bungalow, price was 300 baht a night. The bungalows are around a tiny courtyard which is cute, and each has its own little veranda. No views though. The room was clean and quite large and the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice and big with towels and soap and lotion, but the sewage was smelly. The location was good, they have big signs so you can't miss it. It is right next to the morning market which is perfect. The wifi didn't work and the owner just kind of shrugged it off like it probably happens a lot there. He also didn't seem that into giving much info. The restaurant was ok. Laundry (diy) is free, which is a nice bonus.

Chose the shared bathroom option
I have stayed here four times. I would suggest avoiding the bungalows cos they smell musty and are damp. The rooms with shared bathrooms are only fifty baht a night. Very clean and a perfect sleep. The shared bathrooms are reasonable clean and have hot water. I wouldn't eat here cos the food isn't good. Little Guest hose (next door) has the best food in Mae Salong. The owner and staff are very helpful and unusually for Thailand, they don't chase every single baht and when you ask a question, they actually give a useful answer.

DOI MAE SALONG
THE BUNGALOWS ARE NOT 300 BAHT A NIGHT BUT COMES WITH CABLE TV. YES ITS A BEAUTIFUL AREA BUT I FEAR LIKE MANY AREAS OF THAILAND WILL BE RUINED BY MASS TOURISM. THERE IS NOT MUCH ENGLISH SPOKEN HERE OR FOR THAT MATTER THAI. PLEASE ENJOY AND PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE BE POLITE.
