"We stayed at the Phaya Inn one night for a short stay in Lamphun. The inn was a short( 1 km) walk from the major temple in town and maybe .5 km from town itself. The surroundings were very quiet and tranquil. Our room was large, extremely clean and very comfortable. Many amenities for the amazing low price. A balcony with seating, large comfortable bath, etc. The lobby area was lovely with seating and open walls to view the grounds. Breakfast was included and was either eggs and toast or a Thai rice soup. The only disappointment was no coffee- only Nescafe or tea. Considering the very reasonable price and fact that most of the clientele was Asian this is understandable. The owner, Kit, spent years in the states and speaks perfect English. She was very warm, helpful and even gave us a ride to town to catch a van to Chiang Mai. She arranged the van for us at the stop too as our Thai was rudimentary. This place was a charmer."
