Clean Rooms and good location by Franky
This is a lovely place to stay for a few days (we originally booked for 2 nights and stayed for a week). Aree and Roger are very helpful, speak ecellent English. The hostel is about 15 min walk from the main town but close by to some good restaurants, coffee shops etc. We would also recommend a massage at the Padma spa that is adjoined with Parami.
Once in Chiang Mai we arrived at the Parami Guest house.
The room was small but cool without air. Which is a plus. A nice bathroom, the one plus for the room is the bathroom. Having traveled throughout asia you come to appreciate even the worst laid out of bathrooms. The shower was hard to manage and the water was far to rationed for even a frugal shower of ten minutes. This is the least of your worries at Parami.
This place is not centrally located as you would belive from the previous reviews. Its outside of the old city, and on the outskirts of town. On a very very busy road, which roars with traffic day and night.
Our room and most all the rooms at Parami look out onto a backyard. During our stay we were given a ground floor room with two windows that looked out into the yard. Fine. Unless you have someone installing an air conditioning unit the entire length of your stay. Starting at 7am each morning there were people either talking,raking rocks, cleaning rocks, or installing large air con equipment DIRECTLY outside our window. At no time were we ever granted a peaceful moment in our room between the air con install,kitchen traffic and the inn keeper lurking about our windows.
The beds at Parami house are not okay. When I say not okay I mean not okay by asian standards, I wasnt expecting a spring mattress but sleeping on a mattress that you can see and feel the wooden slats through is less than comfortable. In fact its quite like sleeping on a cement slab with spliters.
So my stay at the Parami was like this:
Loud, heavily trafficed area outside.
Quite a walk to most anything worth checking out in Chiang Mai.
Intrusive by far with the people lurking in your windows the ENTIRE TIME you stay.
Short barely do able showers, which result in no washing of hair and barely washing of your body.
Extreme pain from sleeping on a horrid mattress. Riddled with Spliters and boards. (which by the way we were so amazed by we took pictures of) My back,neck and hip were all runied for two days afterwards.
Expensive. For the same rate we paid at Parami you can stay at a guest house with Pool,spring mattresses, large bathrooms with showers that allow you to bathe, a TV, and hammock outside your door.
If your in Chiang mai I suggest staying at the Kristi Guest House or the Libra house that are actually centrally located within the old city and have better accomidations for cheaper.
Beautiful place i stayed there 3 nights and loved it, all tho its out of the main city a little its easy to access anything really lovely place,people etc top job guys!
Aree and Roger do everything to make your stay warm and cozy. The rooms are clean and perfect and the price is worth every baht. The location is excellent, because you are near the day and night bazaar; plus, the old city is also within walking distance. Also, because Aree and Roger live in the building it is very secure. Don't even think twice about staying here. When I return to Chiang Mai in the future, this is the place I will stay.
