Nice and friendly staff, you can learn about Lahu tribe people, its very interesting. And the food is good too, very original Thai food and nice service and very clean. We enjoy it there. They also make tour to Doi Poo Muean, its a interesting Lahu tribe village in the mountain and well worth the trip.

Good and clean basic hotel in good location at Fang. Good,friendly service. Motorbike/car parking behind the hotel.
Stayed a night here before heading south back to Chiangmai in Feb'12. The wifi did not work the whole time despite trying to connect using different passwords supplied by the reception. The deluxe rooms are located on the 3rd floor and comes with balcony. The food is not too bad - Try the sashimi style prawns with a twist - prepared Thai style with herbs and spices. The hotel is showing its age, for a better hotel try the newer kid on the block - Tangerine.
Clean, centrally located guesthouse run by a family from the Lahu hill tribe. Rooms were big and clean, staff were excellent and food was great.
I wanted to explore Doi Ang Khang on my way up from Chiang Mai to the Golden Triangle. The mountain drive is spectacular, but I should have continued on to Chiang Rai. Fang has little to offer the visitor, and the Punmanee is uninspiring. A concrete block of a hotel, with paper thin walls that allow you to hear conversations 2 or three rooms away. The rooms are basic, but with a reasonable en-suite. The staff are friendly but speak virtually no english, which caused some misunderstandings over breakfast. The hotel was very reasonably priced at Baht 500 with a (small) cooked breakfast, although talking to other guests one group had paid 600 per night, and another 800, so negotiate, or better still drive on to Chang Rai.
My girlfriend and I headed out of the city and up to Fang for a quiet weekend alone. We reserved Phumanee online because of all the great reviews. The first room we got when we showed up (312) was disappointing, but we were able to switch to 311 and it was better. The place is in need of a new coat of paint and some minor maintenance, but overall it was worth the 600 baht. There was loads of information about the surrounding area and attractions, as well as a mini-museum of Lahu cultural artifacts. Oh yeah, free breakfast and wifi as well!
The experience was better than the hotel by a long shot. We were able to participate in Lahu new year with the hosts, and they took us around to several houses in a nearby village. We were received very well by the villagers, and they were very curious about us as well. It was very special! My 5 star review is for the entire experience, I would say 4 star for the hotel itself, for a score of 4 1/2 star. Everyone was so nice though, I couldn't bring myself to round down to 4 stars!
