Tolani Southgate Villa Chiang Mai
This was our first trip to Chiang Mai, and we stayed at Tolani Southgate Villa for six nights with the family. The service here truly exceeded expectations—especially thanks to our amazing host, Nuch. From the moment we arrived, he made everything so easy: arranging rides, recommending authentic local eats, even handling UberEats orders for us. What really stood out was when we accidentally lost our wallet during a visit to the Black and White Temple near the Golden Triangle. We were devastated, but Nuch didn’t hesitate—he immediately reached out to local travel agencies, helped track down possible locations, and miraculously got it back! He personally delivered it to our villa the next day. That level of care and dedication left us deeply touched. The housekeeping staff was equally thoughtful—daily breakfast setup and laundry service made our stay so much more comfortable. The villa itself is quiet, clean, and well-appointed, with great access to public transport if you want to explore the city. If you're looking for a warm, personalized experience in Chiang Mai, this place is a must-try.
