Hosting only a handful of guests at a time, the 32-acre estate has several houses that were made with reclaimed timber from dismantled traditional Thai housing.
The accommodation, which was built in 2018, was even named a finalist in the World Architectural Festival the following year.

There are several hosts to look after the guests, showing them the traditional way of the northern Thai lifestyle.
"Each host will run different workshops according to their specialty: herbal production for traditional medicine, rubber production, and [cooking] local cuisine, to name a few," Ahsa Farmstay explained to SAYS.
This allows them to share their culture and traditional way of living while generating a steady source of income through sustainable tourism.
