Description
This small, somewhat out-of-the-way guesthouse is a treasure trove of information on Nan province, wildly outperforming the dreadful tourist office in town. If you can, get a copy of their map to Nan province drawn back in 1993 that is still invaluable if you're exploring the province.
Though the guesthouse has become a little rundown over the years -- it was badly flood-damaged a few years ago and hasn't really recovered -- it's still a comfortable and homely place that draws a steady trickle of travellers.
Rooms are basic, mattress-on-the-floor affairs but are clean. It could do with a bit more sign-posting to direct people here, so you may need to persevere to find it.

i certainly wasnt there 13 years ago. but i find it still very accomodating. i was almost the only guest then. last thing i d expected in the high season. but overall nan is really quiet, not toursty at all. doi phukha gh was the friendliest guesthouse i ve ever stayed in thailand. the family was extremely helpful.

I stayed here about a year ago and before that about 8 years ago. Back then it was easily the best place in town -- as the review above says "packed with info". To see it last year was very saddening. It was still rolling on, but not the place it used to be. I give it an 8 (for the memories!)
