Picturebook Guesthouse

Mae Sot


Located in an attractive garden, the 10 compact rooms here come with smooth concrete walls, artsy details and custom wood furniture. Staff are friendly and keen to help, and are part of a not-for-profit training programme. You’ll find the guesthouse tucked away in unmarked Soi 19, directly behind the J2 hotel, about 1km east of Mae Sot's centre.
