I know about Akhajulyah guesthouse from my friends who had a great time while they were in Thailand. The information of the Akha family and their guesthouse on the website are very interesting. And YES, I had an amazing time there. I contacted Julie (the founder) and received a quick response from her. I was picked up from the airport by private car; one hour from Chiang Rai airport to the village, visit a white palace is a must. Beautiful terraced rice field, flourishing flowers can be found along the way and around the village.

I stayed at the Akhajulyah Guesthouse during my visit to Thailand and had a very good experiance. I wanted to see how the people of in the hilltribe in Thailand lives and was recommended this place to stay. There are different options for how long you want to stay and type of activities to do.

It was an unforgetable experience for my family ! Live like real akha people with naturel and kindness. With basic condition but clean and safe, we enjoy every day to live simple life, participate with all activities: cut the field,have dance with the akha,sleep and eat together inside the hut, try their traditional costume....great fun !
Real life in an akha family. An amazing experience where you can follow then and help out in their every day tasks. Basic conditions (squat toilet, bucket showers) but very clean. The money goes to the family and the village so it's for a good cause! Ama, the family mother is really helpful and kind... Had great fun, even if we had to understand eachother with many signs for she did not speak english (as most of the family, but thas a great part of the experience!)
