"Is this a house or a resort? It's beautiful! The view is amazing, and Doi Luang Chiang Dao is so close!" We said this to our fellow travelers on the day we rode our motorcycles up to Doi Mae Taman at the beginning of last year. At the end of the year, for some reason, we were still thinking about this house, so we started to do some serious research. Looking at Google Maps, we found the coordinates and learned that the name was "Chailai Grace." We then continued to search for information, but at that time, we only found a Facebook fan page that said it was a house and open for accommodation, but it had just started and we couldn't find any information from other sources.

Until mid-January, I had the opportunity to stay at the "Chailai Grace." I was very excited when I arrived. The place was bigger than I remembered, and it had a European feel that I love. I'm not obsessed with European culture, but whenever I see European-style art, I can't help but smile.

"Chailai Grace": A Bed & Breakfast with English Country Charm

The name "Chailai Grace" (ไฉไล เกรซ) originates from the homeowner, Mrs. Chailai Komarakul Na Nakorn, who has a deep fondness for English country-style houses. She utilized this spacious and well-situated plot of land to construct a home that reflects her preferred style. Recently, she has opened it as a Bed & Breakfast, where she personally provides both lodging and breakfast to guests. The entrance is marked by a tunnel of golden rain trees.


The vibrant purple morning glories bloomed profusely along the fence.


Stepping inside the grand house, one encounters a spacious kitchen and a majestic living room, designed to welcome guests and friends. Today, it also serves as a haven for those who share a passion for the same style and seek a place to stay. The interior design emphasizes the use of antique wooden furniture and artifacts sourced from abroad. Some pieces are handcrafted treasures collected by Khun Chailai, who has cherished this style since before the house was built. Others are locally sourced from Chiang Mai, custom-made to complement the home's theme.



A classic and cozy relaxation and work area, seamlessly integrated with English country-style furnishings. The windows, crafted from wood and clear glass, offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, from the garden and rose beds to the majestic Doi Luang Chiang Dao mountain in the distance.


The two rooms in this large house that were visited and photographed are each beautifully decorated with furnishings and accessories that reflect the style of the house. The rooms are named after rose varieties, which were Mrs. Chailai's favorite flowers.


“Double Delight”

This room is suitable for 2-3 guests and costs 2,500 baht, including breakfast. The interior decoration is mainly in white, cream, and pink tones, with almost all wooden furniture. A medium-sized TV is placed on a semicircular wooden table at the end of the bed.


By the window, there is a wooden cabinet with a soft, floral-patterned cushion for sitting or lying down. The sheer white curtains have hand-knitted lace edges, and the glass window panes offer a stunning view of the outdoors. You can open the window to enjoy the unobstructed view of Doi Luang Chiang Dao.


In the corner of the room, a wooden chair with a white crocheted cushion sits at the end of one of the benches. The handcrafted piece complements the room's decor perfectly. The walls are adorned with a framed cross-stitch embroidery, a treasured possession of Ms. Chailai, that harmonizes beautifully with the room's ambiance.


Upon opening the wooden cabinet in the corner of the room, a bottle of drinking water and a glass covered in white crocheted work were found. A basket next to it contained a hairdryer ready for use.


Next to the wooden cabinet, two pairs of slippers or indoor shoes are placed at the entrance of the room. This follows the same concept, but uses colors that match the wooden furniture.

"Claire Martin"

This room is located next to the first room, with a capacity of 3-4 guests. The price is 3,500 baht, including breakfast. The room is beautifully decorated with a bed, pillows, curtains, and other interior items.

A wooden cabinet with a built-in bench perfectly fits the corner, providing a comfortable spot for sitting or lying down. It is positioned by the window, accompanied by a beautiful wooden chair with a cushion. The window offers a scenic view of the front garden and Doi Luang Chiang Dao mountain.


The bathroom is just as magnificent as the first room.


Even the wall calendar is in English style, with a rose pattern that perfectly matches the atmosphere of the room.


The next accommodation is a bungalow located behind the main house, suitable for 3-4 guests. It costs 2,800 baht per night, including breakfast. This bungalow does not offer views of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, but it is close to the stream at the back, where guests can swim. The bungalow is fully equipped with amenities, including two beds (3.5 and 5 feet) and a long seat in the corner that can also be used as a bed.


In recent months, Khun Chailai has added three more cottages to the property, located in the front garden, slightly offset from the main house. Each cottage offers stunning views of Doi Luang Chiang Dao and comes equipped with all necessary amenities, including private bathrooms. The interiors are beautifully decorated with charming furnishings. Each cottage bears the name of a captivating rose: First Lady, Heaven on Earth, and Dream Come True.

– **First Lady** The first house can accommodate 2 guests with 1 king-size bed. The price is 3,000 baht per house (additional guest 500 baht). Breakfast included.

Heaven On Earth

Middle house: Accommodates 2 guests in 2 single beds. Price: 3,000 baht per night (additional guest: 500 baht). Includes breakfast.

Dream Come True The third room will have a king-size bed and a single bed, accommodating 3 guests for 3,900 baht (additional guest for 500 baht). Breakfast included.

From every front yard, you can see a view of the green lawn stretching out to Doi Luang Chiang Dao, which stands majestically in the distance. Some days, the mist may descend to the front of the house, and other days, the clouds may hang low, partially obscuring Doi Luang Chiang Dao. But with a short wait, you're sure to be rewarded with a stunning panoramic view.

There is a parking lot behind the building, in the pine garden area. It is very convenient. You can park your car and walk from the back of the property to your accommodation. It is a short walk and you do not have to walk past any other houses.


Dining Room

The back room, resembling a semi-basement of the large house, serves as a breakfast room and allows guests to bring in their own ingredients to prepare meals. Ms. Chailai is very kind and allows the use of the kitchen. I understand that she is currently building another separate kitchen in the back for those who want to cook and eat in a private group setting.


The dining room retains a British country-style ambiance, with a European flair that aligns with the overall concept of the house. The space is visually appealing and inviting, with tables and chairs of various styles arranged to optimize the available area. It can comfortably accommodate approximately 20-25 guests.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

The space is decorated with various design elements, including walls, floors, picture frames, and hanging decorations that complement the overall atmosphere of the room.


Exiting through another door to the front, you will be greeted by a breathtaking view like this. It's truly magnificent.

The breakfast spread will look something like this: a plate with ham, sausage, scrambled eggs, and a side salad. There will also be a slice of toasted whole wheat bread served with a generous pat of butter in a beautiful butter dish. To add nutritional value, there will be a separate plate of sliced papaya. Water and orange juice will also be provided. It's a delicious and satisfying meal.


Tea and coffee are available for self-service.


Next, we visited the rose garden, where Ms. Chailai has lovingly collected various rose species and meticulously cares for each plant. Her passion for roses led her to diligently study the art of selecting, planting, and caring for them, and her efforts have paid off handsomely. The roses bloom in a vibrant array of colors throughout the year, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The pleasant weather further enhanced the experience, and the faint scent of roses wafting through the air was truly invigorating.

In addition to the blooming roses, there are many other flowers in bloom, such as morning glories, golden showers, and flame trees.


A pavilion where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery, or have a party with snacks, the atmosphere is amazing.


This house welcomes those who truly appreciate the English country style and this kind of atmosphere to come and relax here for 2-3 days. You don't even have to go anywhere, because just the area around here offers many corners for walking and relaxing. Plus, there is cool air all the time, with a view of a huge mountain, Doi Luang Chiang Dao, right in front. There is a rose garden with vibrant colors and a sweet scent, a pond with both lotus flowers and large and small trees around it, and a large green lawn in front of the house.


And here is Khun Chailai Komarakul Na Nakorn, the kind-hearted homeowner, with her beautiful rose garden.


I ventured out for a stroll, greeting the friendly dogs and cats residing within the fence of this house. I suspect they are the beloved pets of the caretaker who lives in the house behind. These adorable animals welcomed me with familiarity and warmth. Initially, the dogs were hesitant, but my fondness for canines and felines prompted me to call out to them, inviting them to play. It took some time, but eventually, they allowed me to approach.


Groups are welcome to stay, with some sleeping in the house and others camping in tents. However, not everyone is permitted to camp on the property. Please inquire with the gracious homeowner for further information.


* Note: Chailai Grace is only open for accommodation during the months of August to February each year. You can contact them for inquiries.
