A Few Thoughts About Price:
Let’s be honest. If you shop around for B&B’s in Thailand, you’ll probably find some for less than $100 per night -- these days a lot less. But of course they don’t rent BMW touring bikes and most of them can’t come close to matching our amenities and other services. Still, why don’t we offer discounts or mark down our prices a bit?
Well, you know the saying, “You get what you pay for”? Actually, it’s closer to if you pay a fair price, then most of the time you have a reasonably good chance of getting about what you paid for. But if you try to find a bargain, then most of the time, one way or another, you will also get about what you paid for, and it will be a product or service that is inferior.
In Thailand, we are blessed with prices which sometimes seem low to people from other parts of the world. Not all prices, but some prices.
You can spend $1000 a night at the movie star resort just down the road, and it’s a beautiful place, but they don’t rent motorcycles. As far as we know, we are the only place in Chiang Mai where you can rent a BMW touring bike. Let’s get back to reality, though ...
When it comes to lodging, even in Thailand, the prices usually match the accommodations. True, you can find “bargain” B&B’s for less. And for people traveling on a tight budget, a bargain B&B might be the way to go.
But if the room is small, stuffy, dirty and dark, and if the bed sags and maybe doesn’t smell quite right, and if the breakfast is less than wonderful, do you think that might make your trip a little less enjoyable? (Dumb question, right?)
Why take that chance? Coming to SE Asia is expensive. And our B&B is larger, brighter, cleaner, and more comfortable than most 4 and 5 star hotels. Our house is large, roomy, new and really nice. And so is our guest bedroom. Take a look at those pictures again. They’re not retouched or “Photoshop’d”.
It’s so pleasant here, and there are so many fun things to do, you might find yourself putting off touring, taking day rides and relaxing. Several of our guests have done that. Or spent half their time here and half touring. Did we mention our DVD movie library with over 300 films? Our huge paperback library? Worldwide satellite TV? High speed (for Thailand) wireless internet service? Etc, etc.
So if you want to shop for bargains, or need to shop for them, we wish you well and hope you find a good place. But if you can afford it, why not spend a few dollars more and stay with us, at a place you’ll really enjoy?
OK, enough --
