The Cozy Nest Boutique Rooms Guest House
"Here is more like a hotel rather than a guest house. The hotel is very new. I booked Deluxe Room, but the owner upgraded to Superior with free of charge. The room I stayed was wide and clean with good WiFi signal. They have two bicycles and offered guests for free. When I asked the owner where to visit and what I should enjoy in Phayao, he kindly gave me direction with showing map. When I left for bus terminal, the owner offered me to send to the bus terminal (even though I didn't ask so). The owner and staff are naturally gentle and kind. I will surely come back here for my next Phayao trip."Show more

"This is my first time to stay at this hotel and it is quite good. Rooms for myself and my family members where nice and large and equipped with regular stuff for a room.
Breakfast is limited to a one choice and probably could ask for more toast or an extra piece of meat.
Overall, a good and comfy place to stay at Phayao."Show more

"You'll need your own transportation to get out here. It's actually just off the no. 1 highway, but the closest area of note is Phayao University. It's about 16km from Phayao, so it's not convenient if you want to see that city. It's a great place with Japanese design. It's a bit more than other places but your get a lot of space-separate bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen only had a microwave and refrigerator, but the staff can lend you plates and utensils. Staff were very good and English was sufficient."Show more

"First of all, this little town is kind of in the middle of nowhere, so to find a clean and comfortable room for a reasonable price (750b for "deluxe") was a pleasant surprise. Very functional layout with plenty of desktop space, AC, fridge, comfy bed, nice TV (Thai only) plenty of power points, hot shower, and a small balcony. Wifi was stable. Large carpark, which is needed due to the size of the hotel. Staff directed me to an excellent restaurant about 500 meters due south on the same narrow roadway of the hotel entrance. Great food and live music."Show more

The pool is even better than in the photos and you can look right over the whole lake with nothing in between. We were mostly the only ones in the pool, so very calm.
Moreover, Banna is a lovely host who helps you where she can.
We definetly recomend this one and will go there again when we visit thailand next time!!"Show more

Again, this is due to the fact that it is out of the city and a by-pass to another city, it is the most reliable in the area or the only reliable!

Rico Resort Chiang Kham
"We stayed at this hotel with 3 little children and they had a blast, though it would be great for honeymooners because of how quiet and peaceful it is. The location was formerly a knitting factory, but with the economic downturn they have converted the compound into a resort. The actual rooms where you stay was formerly a resort house constructed for the managing director. Because it is a full house, you can expect all of the things like a fully function large kitchen, large bathrooms, pool, tennis court and walking paths. The compound is surrounded by scenic rice fields with mountains off in the distance.
The location is not on the radar of the typical tourist, so you can expect to experience Thai hospitality at its best, and get the feel for small-town Thailand.
Staff was great. The rooms were perfectly clean (even the mosquito nets had been washed recently). The rooms have air conditioners, but you can just open the large doors and windows and have a constant fresh cool Northern Thailand breeze at all times.
Very impressed, great value."Show more

Just around the corner there are many seafood restaurant options and cafes for a lattle in the morning. Will stay here again when traveling through Phayao."Show more

Traveler impressions of Phayao
Phayao City is located on a wonderful lake. The lakeside has plenty of nice restaurants and a nice area to stroll around along the lake.
Tibor, Austria
This is a quiet small town and not a "touristy" place for farangs, though I have been told it is frequented by Thai visitors who enjoy the lake and the beach promenade.
Lars, Sweden
Phayao is simply a beautiful, peaceful city with great natural resources. The lake and the mountains are so pretty that you just want to stay there forever.

More about Phayao
Nestled in a peaceful province that is surrounded by mountains and valleys, Phayao is a quiet getaway in northern Thailand, just a bit south of Chiang Rai. Natural scenery and religious sites come together to form an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Utilizing Chiang Rai’s or Chiang Mai’s airport provide the closest port of access to Phayao province and this capital city.
Phayao sits on the shores of Phayao Lake where much of the leisure and recreation is to be had. Whether looking to capture the view in person or with a camera, the lake really sets the scene with foggy mornings and reflections on the water both day and night. There is also said to be a sunken temple in the lake that might be discoverable with a dive. Some easier-to-access land-based temples worth a visit can be found on Bussarakham Mountain. Wat Si Khom Kham is the most important temple of the area, and Wat Analayo offers magnificent city views. Plenty of accommodation options are available alongside the lake.
