Chiang Dao hotels & places to stay

Amazing place! In the middle of the nature, on walking distance of the cave. The owners are really friendly, I took the bus to Chiang Dao and they picked me up from there to the campsite. It's very peaceful, beautiful surrounding and they offer amazing food. There is always fruit and coffee and tea available and you can use the bicycles for free. Would definitely recommend staying here!

My wife and I have been to Chiang Dao several times now, and we really enjoy the drive from Chiang Mai (about two hours). The first couple of times we stayed at Chiang Dao Nest, which is very nice. But the last time we checked they were booked. So instead we found Chiang Dao Hut (which is right next to the Nest). We were not disappointed. We liked the huts very much, and it was very quiet and peaceful. The huts are very clean, and the staff was wonderful...always making us feel welcome every time they saw us, and the food was very good, too. The only downside was that the futon style mattresses are hard on the bones. Wish they would invest in soft top covers for them. I don't think we could have tolerated more than two nights on the mattresses, but maybe next time we'll bring our own top covers!

I'll get my beef out of the way first, Chiang Dao is not a cheap place to overnight in! That said, Huan Chiang Dao Resort is comfortable and quiet, has very friendly staff, a lovely garden setting and the best Kao Thom for breakfast for hundreds of kilometres in any direction! The rooms are adequately sized and the bed firm which is standard in Thailand. You park at the front and walk through the garden to your room, which will be half a bungalow building, so it may be quite a hike depending on your room, and your luggage! It's also a bit of a problem if you're returning late from dinner out, too! Cheaper alternatives in Chiang Dao really aren't a consideration, this is nice, but it's just a bit hard to justify the tariff for what's on offer.

The hotel is one of the oldest in Chiang Dao. It has great potential, but is quite rundown at the moment. It is most (in)famously known to the locals for its bars which offer (live) music, ballrooms and cheap boos. At a result, extremely stoned people are easily seen on the property. It was bestowed upon by members of the royal family many years ago, and the owners are believed to be well connected to local authorities. Hence, many of the drunk on the property are those who would show no hesitation to use their authority, maybe more so when they are stoned. Big warning for anyone who does not want to be involved in local disputes.

Dreamhome is exactly that. A truly wonderful place to stay when visiting Chiang Dao. Everything you want to see in Chiang Dao is within easy reach. Oy the owner and her son were wonderfully helpful in every way. Room was big and comfortable with a heavy quilt for those cold Winter nights in Chiang Dao. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately maintained. My only complaint was the Internet. It was a working vacation for me but the Internet was too unstable. In the realm of things this was only a minor inconvenience. Everything else was fantastic.

This looks like it is still being added to. It is situated along the main highway that runs past Chiang Dao. The room was clean and looked brand new because a lot of the light switches still had the plastic wrapper on them. The breakfast was mostly Thai. So only bread to make toast if you don’t fancy eating boiled rice and vegetables for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I hade a very pleasant stay.

Go to The Wes Village in Chiang Dao - we just cannot recommend it enough. First of all, the location is spectacular, right there with a beautiful view of the Doi Luang - the 3rd highest mountain in Thailand - and lush fields and orchards. The suite rooms we stayed in are beautifully designed and spacious and luxurious. The owner Natekittiya is a lovely hospitable person who went out of her way and accepted all our requests including taking us ceramic shopping, helping us plan our itinerary for the surrounding areas, and most of all, teaching us the secrets of her amazing Thai cooking. If you're interested in good food, just Natekittiya's cooking should be enough for you to go and stay at The Wes Village. For any foodie, this would be the highlight of the trip - it definitely was for us. She sets a mean table with just the most spectacular food, presented in the most stunning way. And we were lucky - she agreed to teach us several dishes over the 2 days we were there. GO!!!!

If you have a car, getting here is super easy, and it's close enough to Chiang Dao caves. the grounds are really nice, really forested and well taken care of, with a stream running through, and some ponds. Some of the staff speak decent English as well. We got a free upgrade to a room that overlooked a nice pond. The massage I got here was excellent. Well worth the money. I was thoroughly impressed. The food was mediocre so I'd advise eating meals elswhere. We had some friends visit our bathroom at night - a trail of large ants and a lizzard. I didn't mind this - after all, we are in the middle of nature, and it's happened to me before at another hotel in Thailand, but some people might have minded. Overall I'd stay here again if I find myself in Chiang Dao.

This is located on the same road with several Chiang Dao resorts at the foot of the Chiang Dao mountain and right down the street from the entrance to the cave. We thoroughly enjoyed the setting there. They have several bungalows that are well appointed with nice decor, bathroom, aircon and internet. Good bed and good hot shower. Their new restaurant serves a really nice American Breakfast set, with many choices. They also serve other meals, but we ate elsewhere. The staff are very friendly and speak English. From this resort you do have views of the mountain and also the ridge behind. They also have nice gardens with large trees, flowers, vegetables -- and geese! Several other resorts are within quick walking distance (Nest 2 and Chiang Dao Hut are right across the street), meaning that you have many choices for meals. We walked, hiked, lounged, ate. We would definitely recommend the area in general, and At Home Resort in specific!

We loved this place. And we will definitely be back. We were in the newer rooms with direct access to the pool. The room was Huge. And the beds were really nice we also loved the food at the café and the staff were super friendly. We didn't really enjoy breakfast but that's not a deal breaker. If going to Chiang Dao I would really recommend this place , especially the rooms in the new block.

When I booked this resort, I didn't look closely enough at the location. I wanted to be near the Chiang Dao NP and this is 30km away. My fault entirely but worth bearing in mind. It is on the outskirts of a small village called Ban Na. There are a few small shops but little else. There are four bungalows and a house which the owner lives in. It is very new and each bungalow is beautifully decorated with a lovely bathroom and big comfortable double bed. There is no air conditioning, but the big fan was quiet and adequate during our stay. The nights were cool. Each bungalow has a balcony and the view is over open countryside and is very quiet a night. There was water provided, a new flatscreen TV with thai channels and a wardrobe although it had no shelving. There was no room safe. Each bungalow is up two flights of steps from the car parking space and I didn't see any wheelchair access, but wasn't paying that much attention. We were met by a single member of staff who showed us to the bungalow without any fuss. The manager/owner who spoke english arrived in the evening to greet us. Both staff were friendly. In the morning there was a freshly cooked breakfast, tea, coffee and toast which was fine. We ate in the evening in Chiang Dao which was a 40 minute drive away, but there is food available at the resort. Our days were spent in Chian Dao NP, birdwatching and sightseeing. owever, it was a long drive each morning and night and really made early morning walks an impossibilty. As I've said, that was an oversight on my part when booking the Baan Famui. If early starts aren't a problem, you have a car and you want a stopover at a clean and comfortable resort, then this place is fine. Just remember that is is a long way from anywhere.

We were most impressed with Azalea (in fact, we have already stayed 2 other times since this first visit!). Places to stay in Chiang Dao can be very limited, especially when you are looking for a place with great facilities and charm. Well, Azalea delivered on both fronts. The pool is absolutely lovely and, while we didn't make use of the hot spring 'bath' , we had a peek at the facilities and they were fantastic. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet and the staff were ABSOLUTELY lovely. The food was Thai style only, but of a high quality and the location was very convenient despite the fact that it looks kind of removed from everything on a map. As a bonus, tere is actually a wonderful massage place just up the road too (the only one in town these days, I think!)

Set out your expectations: I read some comments and they were not reflected what the resort was made for. Beside the astonishing beauty of the nature in Chiang Dao, this resort located in a great nature spot with a very nice internal decoration, garden, self-growing fruits and vegetables. The resort was open, clean, easily access as it was on the main road. The room was spacious, clean, and silent plus those comfortable beds and pillows. Staying in this resort was one of my phenomenal experience as I was surprised by the owner's kindness and many more. His story of retirement was very inspiring to young people like us to pursue a better quality of life. I appreciated him and his daughter's kindness and assistance through out our stay and before that. I did more review of this resort on my IG and recommended to some of my good friends. I will surely return if I visit Chaing Doa again. Sis Somo and uncle, I hope you guys are doing well and read this. Thanks for your accommodations.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Service: the proprietor made our short stay in Chiang Dao better than we could have hoped. We didn't have a car or any plans so he spent the afternoon taking us to a few lovely spots to see - the cave, the temple, and a beautiful restaurant called Chiang Dao Good View. We were there to climb the mountain and he helped us arrange all of it, plus provided transportation. His service was exceptional. Privacy: the hotel is in the middle of a valley and there are only a few cottages to rent. We were the only guests and so it lived up to its name. Ambience: the rustic, cozy atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. It's a simple cottage with a comfortable bed, small balcony, and mosquito net which only improves the ambience. The bathroom has modern fixtures. Because it's in a valley, we could see the sunset from our window and the sunrise from our balcony. It was perfect. If we're ever back in Chiang Dao, I wouldn't even look anywhere else.
