Recently stayed with a friend at funky monkeys for 4 nights intending to see Chiang Mai and book one or two tours. Ended up doing so much more and it was thanks to Dave & Nuy, the owners and the taxi driver Sakhon. Made us feel at home straight away with a welcome drink and some good recommendations on where...

My husband and I stayed at the Funky Monkey for 3 nights back in February. David and Nuy were both incredible. They set up our excursions and recommended the best places to eat and explore! Their help was invaluable. The room was spectacular. Clean, comfortable, huge. The location was also great. It was along a quiet street but so close... More

We have just stayed at Funky Monkey for 6 nights. As previous reviewers have said, when Funky Monkey did not have availability for the full length of our stay they recommended us to another place just down the road which they also booked us in to. Rooms are extremely spacious, A/C is efficient, rooms are very clean, free wifi was... More

Location, room, cleanliness, etc. were superb but what sets the guesthouse apart is Dave and Nuy. We had emailed a couple of other guesthouses about a 4 night stay and everyone else wrote back, sorry no availability. Nuy went out of her way to say they didn't have availability for the first night but the if we wanted she could... More

I stayed a couple of nights in the Funky Monkey Guesthouse when i were on vacation in Chiang Mai and my experience there was amazing! Location is one step away from all of the things that you need and want to see within the old town ancestral in the city. The rooms are huge compared to what you would think... More

Originally I had booked four nights at Funky Monkey, however I ended up staying 12! The room was immaculately clean, the air conditioner worked very well and the shower had very good water pressure; after traveling in Asia for over 3 months these things, although a given back home, can be a rarity. David and Nuy are fantastic hosts, very... More

Located 10 min walk from Old town. Place is ok, but you get a better hostel inside the Old town for the same price if you book early enough. More

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Funky Monkey in February 2012. Since the first email sent a few months prior to our trip up until the last minute of our stay, Nuy and Dave were incredible with answering all our questions, providing suggestions and helping us where they could. We had initially planned to take the overnight... More

I know it must be boring to read the same brilliant comments again and again... but I have to completely agree as well: We (my 5 year old boy and I) stayed 6 night with David, Nuy and their dogs in February. We felt extremely welcome, got excellent advice for what to do with a kid (public pool, waterfall, Tiger... More
