We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend this place to anyone. Gail was the perfect hostess and the other staff were lovely too. She is very easy to talk to and we spent some time chatting while we were having dinner. She was overseeing everything to make sure we had a wonderful stay. It was really peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. This place should have a score of 10/10.

This is a credible hidden gem in Mea Hong Son! You can see the wonderful mountains and river views from the spacious and comfy room. I enjoyed the super heart warming hospitality from the host Pen. She was truly amazing and arranged everything for me. Highly recommend for those who would love to spending time with private and peaceful natures. Don’t miss the amazing cave tour arranged by Pen. Couldn’t ask for more!🥰the trip was amazing because of this stay!

I stayed during the start of rainy season biking through the mountains and this was one of best stays. The owner and manager was just lovely and helpful and accommodating. I will most definitely be coming back and staying again. It was peaceful and quiet as I had the whole place to myself.

Wat een fijne plek om te verblijven, met zulke gastvrije, behulpzame en lieve gastheer, gastvrouw en andere medewerkers! Goede en leuke adviezen gekregen van Philip, de gastheer. 's Avonds genoten van het warme vuur. Het eten was voortreffelijk. Dank jullie allemaal!

Our honeymoon at Kanlaya's Eyrie was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived and were warmly greeted by Philippe, Gayle, and their family, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the house and the breathtaking views. The Master Suite was pure luxury, offering a private jacuzzi pavilion with panoramic vistas. The ambiance of the house was simply enchanting, we enjoyed relaxing on the porch, taking in the serene surroundings. During our stay, we strolled to the river at the end of the property, followed by a fascinating Karen Tribe blessing ritual performed by Gayle's family. The candlelit dinner that evening was a culinary delight, featuring authentic Northern Thai cuisine prepared by Gayle herself. Releasing lanterns into the night sky was a truly magical experience. The next morning, we embarked on a pre-dawn adventure with Philippe and Pen, enjoying a delicious breakfast amidst the stunning mountain scenery. Philippe's deep knowledge of nature and his keen eye for detail allowed us to spot and appreciate numerous remarkable orchids. Pen's presence on the tour was invaluable, as her Thai language skills enabled seamless communication with locals and tribal people at the Koffie plantation. We then explored a remote temple, visited the Arabica Koffie plantation, and wandered through the charming village of Pang Mapha. Without Kanlaya's Eyrie and the personalized tours organized by Philippe, Gayle, and Pen, we would never have discovered this hidden gem of Thailand. This unforgettable experience has solidified our honeymoon as the most memorable part of our 3.5-week trip. We wholeheartedly give Kanlaya's Eyrie a perfect 10 out of 10. Thank you, Philippe, Gayle, and Pen, for creating such a magical and unforgettable stay. Pieter and Jane
