Baanthep Antique Homestay: four homestay rooms in Phrae's old town

Phrae nestles at the foot of a mountain range separating northern Thailand from Laos. There’s nothing like a friendly guesthouse to explore Phrae's highlights. Who wouldn't want to hike through its rice fields? Who wouldn't enjoy climbing its hill temples and sharing smiles with its locals? Indeed, Baanthep Antique Homestay is one of the best tourist accommodations in the province. Although recently opened and officially rated only two stars, its polished teakwood rooms are clean and spacious. Featuring flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms, they cater to your comfort needs. What truly sets this establishment apart is its collection of antique items amassed by the manager over the years. Sculptures, porcelain, solid gold armchairs, and art objects inherited over generations… If you're visiting Phrae, don't miss out on Baanthep Antique Homestay.

Baanthep Antique Homestay is situated near downtown Phrae, specifically a 10-minute walk away. It's about 3 km from Phrae Airport to the establishment. Due to limited capacity, advance booking is recommended. The guesthouse allows pets, with a limit of two per room.
