Ban Thai Guest House

A great place to stay - 20th July, 2009
This has been one of my favourite places to stay on my trip so far. I paid 550 baht for a HUGE bungalow. Amazing view of paddy fields, comfortable bed (although my friend's was hard as nails so double check first)and large bathroom. The communal area was good for meeting other people and getting a cold drink. Thant who works there, was a fountain of knowledge and helped us with lots of travel arrangements. A place with a great vibe. Highly recommended.

Very good place to stay! - 26th October, 2008
Because of the beautiful wooden houses in the large garden where there are lovely huge rooms inside. You basically get your own house with a sitting area on a balcony; pillows and tables and all the stuff. The rooms have antique furniture, a good bed and a huge well-designed bathroom. Hot water as well. For 1 night it is 400 Baht. The rooms mentioned above are in the main building where the volunteers usually stay. Avoid. Staff is also quite strange; nothing of the usual thai friendliness. But the place is easy to walk to from all the tourist places (restaurants, bars,etc.)

Very nice! - 14th December, 2008
I stayed at the Ban Thai for a few weeks while working at an NGO. Like the review above, the rooms in the main house are definitely less of a value than the ones in the houses out back. The owner has recently started charging more for the rooms (for what reason I do not know) yet hasn't added any amenities. I do love the fresh linens & the place is kept immaculate. The common area & gazebo are great places to meet people/relax and the wireless internet is a great perk. The staff (Than and the Karen cleaning staff) are wonderful and very helpful. Than can also point interested volunteers toward NGOs that need some help. I love the place, and in my personal opinion, the best in Mae Sot. I found that it's best to book ahead as volunteers can sometimes book the place solid. (Props should go to the ''Green House'' though there isn't a listing for it. Rooms are slightly cheaper than Baan Thai though less is provided and doesn't have the wonderful common area. It's across from the Burmese jail *if you ask anyone they'll know where that is*)
