Baannamping Riverside Village

The fantastic view of Ping River.Quite and natural place.You can here birds sinning song in the morning.Wifi very good.parking is safe.You can borrow a Kayak to row on Ping River. I strongly recommend to stay at Bannamping Riverside village.

It was a little disappointing to be honest. The pool was under construction. The neighbourhood has nothing to offer and we booked the place to relax and swim for couple of days. Instead there was a whole lot construction, dust and noise from it. Being stuck in the middle of nowhere in this situation was not fun. To pay this much for not being able to relax wasnt cool and I would have expected some sort of refund or notification before hand about the pool condition. Apparently the motor in the pool has been in repaid for 2 months, so that's plenty of time to give people a heads up. The choice of food there is limited and expensive compared to rest of Chiangmai also. We had to hire a car and do day trips so we didn't have to stay there which increased our expenses. Not worth it!

We were hoping to unwind and enjoy quiet and nature along the river. There is definitely river and nature, but unfortunately it was not as "unwinding" as we had hoped. This place could be really great if the restaurant was as advertised, and the guests recognized it is a place for quiet and relaxation. Don't go to this place if you are looking for this. However I must recognized we were there during Chinese New Year. The other guests during our stay were in large groups, with the whole family (grandparents and kids included) and were inconsiderate of the others staying there. If you are a family who loves to run around a make a lot of noise, this may be the place for you. All this aside, I think if you timed the stay right, it has the possibility to be a very peaceful place. The local staff is very accommodating and pleasant. The breakfast is Chinese food as the owner is Chinese. If you don't want Chinese food for dinner, you must request Thai food in the morning. Unfortunately we weren't informed this till our last day, so we scooted into town the other nights for dinner. The scooting is really a great time if you have motorcycle experience. You can always rent a car, but I would highly recommend having one of the two so you can leave when you want.

Great place to relax. We loved it and will return. For some reason nobody told us about shuttle bus to Chiang Mai and no meals apart from breakfast available. They had some meals delivered to us or you can walk 3 kms or catch a ride to the night market for dinner.

ok, its a bit out of town but its a great quiet place with great rooms and nice garden. It was perfect for us and after you have been to the hectic town its a great place to calm down. Breakfast is great, staff is friendly and helpful and if you rent a scooter, it will take you 15 min to go to town.

This is a moderately priced resort overlooking the Ping River about 1/2 hour outside of Chiang Mai. Our family of four only spent one night but enjoyed the small pool and view from our veranda. The gardens are lovely, room was spacious and well appointed, and the staff very helpful. Breakfast, included in the tariff, was very generous, though dinner service was a bit slow. They have three one-person kayaks and several basic bicycles (all free) if you wish to paddle on the river or pedal a few kilometres through quiet countryside into the village, where there is a nice food market (and a 7-11).

We loved our 3 nights here! It was quiet & peaceful. The best thing was the AMAZING staff, they're all so lovely & helpful. It was about 30-40 mins out of the city; but we didn't mind. We hired a scooter & loved the ride into town!

Lovely bungalows overlooking the ping River. Ande and her staff were very attentive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay, a great way to kick off our thai adventure. Probably the only downside was being out of chiang mai which meant taxi fares to and from but this didn't bother us as we stayed in town later in the trip.

great service

Good ,very friendly owners and staff ,loved our stay there
