My mother and I stayed at Spicy Villa for a two day, one night trekking trip. To say that it was amazing is an understatement. Our guide Samart was knowledgeable, friendly, and cooked the best meals we had in Thailand. Where else could you eat sticky rice cooked inside bamboo? The activities offered, such as bamboo rafting, elephant riding, tubing,... More

If you're looking for a relaxing, authentic place to stay this is it. The people are fun, the food is amazing, and the setting is phenomenal. The rooms are simple and eco-friendly but what makes this place incredible is that it is perched over a valley surrounded by National Park. This place is ideal for backpackers or adventurous travellers looking... More

It's rustic, with basic accommodation, but a great stop-off after trekking! The food is delicious -- the owner is a fantastic chef. Oh, and the puppy, Shay, is to-die-for cute!!! We really enjoyed our stay here.

We had a quick one day trip from Chiang Mai and Spicy Villa was a great experience. We arrived just in time for the mouth-watering family style dinner to be finished cooking and hung out all night on the hillside. Accommodation is simple and eco-friendly, set in a beautiful background and staff are lovely and very accommodating. Love the sustainable... More

After about a 90 minute journey out of city life in Chiang Mai, through beautiful Thai countryside, passing by remote villages and along a winding dirt track we reached Spicy Villa. On arrival, the hillside view takes your breath away! Then you notice the accommodation and kitchen area - the amazing bamboo huts constructed by skilled volunteers and workers are... More

Together with a fellow graphic designer, I am writing a book featuring chefs and artists we meet around the world. We found Samart Srisoda, the owner of Spicy Villa Ecolodge, while searching for a chef to interview in Chiang Mai. We had no idea that he was so much more than a chef, that his bungalows in the jungle are... More
