Baan Guru Resort

Baan Guru Resort sits well out in Hang Dong, on the far southwestern reach of the Chiang Mai area, offering a straightforward, well-reviewed stay at a notably accessible price point. Rated 5 stars with a perfect 10 out of 10 review score from its first guest, the resort is 15.3 kilometres from the Old City centre and 11.9 kilometres from Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), with an indicative nightly rate of just 528 THB found for the property.

Getting to Baan Guru Resort

This is a resort for travellers happy to trade distance from the city centre for value and quiet. At 15.3 kilometres from the Old City and 11.9 kilometres from the airport, Baan Guru sits well beyond the usual walking-distance radius most visitors look for — a car or a booked transfer is the practical way to get around from here, and an airport transfer service is offered directly. In exchange, guests get a genuinely rural stretch of Hang Dong, the kind of setting where rice fields and small local farms are still very much part of the view.

Rooms & What to Expect

Baan Guru offers four room types across a real range of sizes and budgets. The Quadruple Room with Private Bathroom, at 16 square metres (172 square feet), fits two single beds and one double bed, with an outdoor-facing outlook — a compact option for a family or group of four watching their budget. The Double Room, smaller still at 12 square metres (129 square feet), suits a couple with a single double bed, also outdoor-facing. A Double Room with Pool View adds a water outlook to the same double-bed configuration, and a Classic Double or Twin rounds out the choices for guests who want flexibility between one larger bed or two singles. None of these are large rooms by villa standards, but they're priced accordingly, and Uncle Kham would say that's the honest trade here — simple rooms, real savings.

Amenities & Facilities

Rooms at Baan Guru come with a balcony and a mini-bar, along with a garden or pool view depending on the room booked. The resort has its own outdoor pool, a garden, and a spacious terrace for guests who want somewhere to sit outside without leaving the grounds. A designated smoking area is also available for guests who need one — a detail some travellers will appreciate having confirmed rather than guessing about.

What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life

Chiang Mai Night Safari, the after-dark wildlife park, is 6.63 kilometres from Baan Guru, and Wat Phra That Doi Kham — the hillside "temple of the golden mountain" — sits a little further at 8.6 kilometres. The Old City's better-known landmarks are a proper trip from here: Wua Lai Walking Street at 14.74 kilometres, Chiang Mai Zoo at 14.92 kilometres, and Wat Phra Singh (the Gold Temple) at 14.94 kilometres, all worth planning as full outings rather than quick stops. Much closer, at 1.16 kilometres, is Grand Canyon Chiang Mai, a converted quarry turned swimming and cliff-jumping spot that has become a popular local attraction in its own right. Hang Dong Hospital, 3.21 kilometres off, and DNK International, 3.3 kilometres away, round out the practical side of the neighbourhood, while Wiang Dong Fishing Pond, 3.46 kilometres out, adds another quiet, local option for an unhurried afternoon.

Dining

Baan Guru has its own on-site restaurant, serving breakfast in both continental and à la carte styles — a nice bit of choice for guests who want a full cooked plate some mornings and something lighter on others. Given the resort's distance from the city centre, having a reliable restaurant on the grounds is a genuine convenience rather than a nice-to-have.

Guest Reviews

With one review on record, Baan Guru Resort holds a clean sweep across every tracked category: Cleanliness, Facilities, Location, Service, and Value for money all scored a perfect 10 out of 10, each one comfortably ahead of the Chiang Mai city averages, which ranged from 8.1 for Location to 9 for Service. For a resort priced as accessibly as this one, at an indicative 528 THB a night, that's a genuinely striking result.

Good to Know

Baan Guru Resort suits travellers who want real value and don't mind being well outside the Old City's immediate radius — 15.3 kilometres out, with a car or transfer needed to get around. Room sizes are modest, from 12 to 16 square metres, but the on-site restaurant, pool, garden, and terrace add up to a genuinely complete stay for the price. An airport transfer service is offered, and the indicative nightly rate found was just 528 THB.

For budget-minded travellers willing to base themselves a little further from the temples in exchange for a lower price and a quieter, more rural stretch of Hang Dong, Baan Guru Resort is worth serious consideration.
