自我介绍

Welcome to Baan Mali, the best place to stay in Chiang Mai. Yumi and Geoff are a husband and wife team that has retained its 5 Star, Super Host rating for over 7 years, by offering an exemplary, personal service. We have lived in Chiang Mai for over 10 years, as it’s such a fabulous place with so much to do. Chiang Mai has retained its position in the 10 Top best Cities in the World to Live for more than 8 years, as voted for by the readers of the prestigious Travel + Leisure website. It’s renowned for its great climate, wonderfully friendly, warm people, delicious Northern Lanna style Thai food, and an unequalled, chilled out relaxed pace of life. Yumi was born in Japan, but a thirst for travel and adventure saw her depart at an early age and work in the hospitality industries in Korea, the Middle East, Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, India and Thailand. She’s a whizz with languages and speaks 5: - Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Thai and English, and given her extensive hotel training, she really knows how to take care of guests, and loves sharing her local knowledge with them. Whether it be for a massage, a market, mountains, temples, motorbike touring, best restaurants, coffee shops, whatever, she will know. Geoff is an adventurous Kiwi who has lived and worked across the Asia Pacific region for over 20 years, 18 of them in Thailand. He has travelled all over South East Asia by trail bike much of it off-road and has made Chiang Mai his home, as it's such an amazing place to live, with so many places to explore. After 20 years here, Geoff has a good understanding of Thai culture and also the best places to visit in Chiang Mai and surrounds depending on your preferences. Chiang Mai is an ancient city surrounded by a moat and is a tourist mecca with a great coffee culture and has all the amenities of a modern city, yet still retains its old-world charm and gentle Lanna style culture and hospitality. It has many temples, and is handy to dozens of tourist activities (mainly outside of the city) from bungee jumping, elephant nature parks, carousing with tigers, zip lining, and trips on a rented scooter into the neighbouring mountains. What keeps Geoff fit and curious is off road motorcycling and running kayaking, cruises, camping and mountain biking adventure tours down the Mekong River in Laos, along with building schools in remote riverside villages along the Mekong. Like many foreigners here, Yumi and Geoff are very relaxed as we know all the best places to eat and visit, just let us know what you are searching for. Also all the exciting places you probably won't find listed in Lonely Planet or Trip Advisor. Family motto is "do something that scares you everyday"
