Baan Song Jum Homestay is very convenient in terms of going to the old city, as you can walk your way through it or take the red vans that would cost around 30 bhat/each. But if you prefer to ride, it's best to book grab or uber to avoid inconsistent fare whenever the red van drivers recognizes that you're a tourist.
You have to walk just a few meters from the road to the location. This what makes the place peaceful and quiet. It's not literally beside the roadside, keeping all the noise out.
The room is very nice, clean, and airconditioned. Bathroom is well maintained and clean. They have heater for the showers and bidet for the toilet.
Help yourself for free breakfast with bread, egg, coffee and some jams. They have a big dining area outside the kitchen enough for you to sit anywhere you want, but we preferred staying inside the kitchen. đ Ofcourse, you must clean as you go.
The owner (Nui) is very accomodating and helpful. She would recommend places to visit and provide details on how to get there and how to get back. She would make you feel like you're really part of their family, always with warm welcome đ
As a tourist, if you're looking for a place that would give you a good night sleep and a nice hot shower, I would recommend this place. After all, you'll be spending the day out and would just need to have enough rest to go out again.
