Book confidently. My daughters (ages 13 and 16), my niece (age 27), and I stayed at this beautiful Villa in July. The home was as pictured, modern, and perfect for our family. My daughters used the pool and I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower (don't worry, they have an indoor one too). It's situated about 10 min from downtown. We had no problems getting around via taxi. Our host, Pac, drove us around as well. The owner's home is nearby, so there is no problem getting help (as needed).
I think someone in an earlier review noted there was no air conditioning, but there is (in the bedrooms), which is where you need it.
Booking the property with Fred was very easy. He made sure that we got picked up safely from the airport, even though we were delayed by the airlines. Pac, Fred's nephew, was unbelievable. He drove us downtown several times (for a nominal fee), helped us get groceries, cooked dinner for us (and taught us how to cook Thai)! He became our friend very quickly and we were so sad to say goodbye to the beautiful house and to Pac. He drove us to the bus station to catch a bus to Chiang Rai. When the last train left before we got there, Pac made sure to find a driver to take us safely to Chiang Rai. He even called to make sure we arrived safely. He was a gentleman and a great host. Don't stay in a hotel, when you can stay here in comfort. I wish we could have stayed longer!!
