Above and beyond. ;) Guests forgot a phone on the steps at the front door. But we saw it in time and were able to get it back to them at the airport before their flight departed. 💖🙏😅😇

I was born and raised in Chiang Mai in the Sanpatong area. I studied at Yupparat College and then Chiang Mai University, and then worked for several technology companies as a programmer and then project manager. But this wasn’t me. My mom had a small townhouse in the riverside area of Chiang Mai, near the main markets. It was used mostly for storage of supplies and product she farmed and then distributed to the markets. As she got older it wasn’t really used anymore so I decided to completely renovate the place and then rent it, as it was in a very good area for both tourism or longer stays. We took out all the old tile floors, added a nice kitchen and bathroom, and fully furnished the place. This was around 2013 and AirBnB was just growing in Thailand. So instead of renting out long term I tried short term holiday rentals. And it was great!
I met so many lovely people and it makes me so proud to let people enjoy Chiang Mai. From the very beginning I went to pick up guests at the airport and train station when they arrived; guests really appreciate that when arriving in a new place for the first time. I then drove a slightly longer route through town to show a bit of the city, point out great restaurants, cafes and markets on the way, and then make sure guests are comfortable, and answer any questions.
With AirBnB and similar holiday rental sites it’s very important to follow all the rules, and register with the local government to do everything legally. Fortunately this is easy in Thailand, which for decades has had a regulation that allows people to open up a house or part of a house to rent out by the day. This resulted in a ‘guesthouse boom’ in the 1980’s, and the same regulations match AirBnB very well.
I then recommended a friend to also do holiday rentals as she had a lovely traditional wooden house in the city. She didn’t really want to do it so I ended up renting the place from her and adding it as another listing. I then found a very small townhouse near Chiang Mai Gate and the Old City Moat for sale, was able to get a mortgage and I suddenly I realized I had a new job!
