Baandin Chiangdao: an earth-house format near the lower mountain
We are an affiliate of Agoda.com. Eligible bookings through our links may earn us a commission.
The house format is the main choice
Baandin Chiangdao is at 363 Moo 5 in Chiang Dao. Its current Agoda list separates Cottage Double Bed and Baan Din entries, with the named double-bed cottage listed at 26 square metres. The earth-house character is more distinctive than a long facility checklist, but it does not make the accommodation part of the controlled Doi Luang summit route.
The current room description gives a double bed and a mountain-view label for the named cottage. View wording should not be used as a promise of an unobstructed panorama in every unit. Choose the actual accommodation format and establish transport to the sanctuary reporting point separately.
Book on Agoda
Quietness has been valued, and location can divide opinion
An Agoda guest staying in January 2020 praised a clean, compact earth house, warm water and helpful staff. A December 2019 guest also liked the quiet atmosphere but was disappointed with the television reception. Those details describe historical stays, not a current guarantee of room equipment or maintenance.
Another guest staying in December 2019 found the location isolated and regarded it mainly as a stop along the journey. That is a useful counterpoint to undated praise for nearby restaurants. A quiet location can be an advantage for one traveller and an inconvenience for another, depending on how they intend to leave the property.
The older hospitality accounts have limits
A family staying in July 2015 described a rounded, private house, a simple breakfast in an open-sided wooden area and help arranging local transport. The account gives the stay a clear small-property character, but it should not become a promise that the same staff, breakfast or transport service is available today.
Chiangdao.com's sourced listing identifies parking and a garden alongside room amenities. It is useful as an address and property cross-check, rather than an independent new guest review. No current bicycle rental or regular shuttle timetable is confirmed here.
A deliberate lower-area base
Baandin is most relevant to someone who wants its particular house format and is comfortable organising the onward journey. A guest expecting a central town hotel with every service outside the door should compare the actual position first. The current room list and dated guest accounts support that decision, while the limited recent detailed evidence does not justify stronger claims about present facilities.
