A-Star Phulare Valley Resort
"Bandara Resort is in the stage of a soft opening, not everything is ready yet. We had took that into account when we stayed there and you should too. They told me it will officially open 2-3 months or around June/July 2014. It was quiet as we only saw about another 7 guests there..
The place is beautiful though, with amazing gardens and amazing views. Although, at this time of year (March/April) there is a lot of smoke around Chiang Rai due to burning off in Thailand and surrounding countries. But this is hardly the fault of the resort, but don't let that stop you. It's still a lovely place and I can only imagine how much nicer it will be in a few months time. The room was great, we had the Pool Villa and having your own pool was awesome. We swam as much as we wanted and didn't have to worry about other people. The villa was amazing. Big bed, big couch, lovely bathroom, 2 TVs. Mind you, they only offered Thai channels, which I think they need to upgrade and offer some English channels as well.
One other downer we had was the bath didn't work, we could get no water out of the taps. I think they may be due to not being open yet, it would have been nice, but we got over it quickly. Probably the worst part for me was my meal was average and for what you pay, I was expecting more. Firstly they didn't have the menu item I first chose and the 2nd item was average. It wasn't horrible, just wasn't what I was expecting. Again, I put this down to the soft opening, I am sure it will all be sorted by the time they officially open. Due to the soft open, the price of the rooms are nicely discounted, so it was worth it anyway. The Wifi was also super fast, but this could be because there wasn't many people using it.
The location, the room, the pool all made up for the so so meal. Breakfast buffet was great by the way, they had a wide selection of food to choose from. For a relaxing get away just north of Chiang Rai, don't think there would be a better place."Show more

Hi Chiangrai Hotel
"Hi Chiang Rai is a beautiful Brand New hotel in a premium location in Chiang Rai. you will be hard pushed to beat this place for value for money. nice rooms & sweet small bathrooms with super soft towels. good buffet breakfast serving cereals/toast/muffins/fruit & fresh ground coffee. has a beautiful indoor swimming pool. only downside was wifi was only available in the lobby, but for the price paid i can more than live with this one small issue. I would stay here everytime i visit Chiang rai and highly recommend to anyone. Great hotel and great staff."Show more

Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort, Thailand
"It is Le Meridien, so of course I am picky.
First of all it is quite surprising to find such a huge mega resort in a place like Chiang Rai.
First day was extremely quiet, almost no clients in the hotel, it gives the experience an uttermost feeling of luxury. The following day at least 60 Spanish people in coach bus and 30 Chinese people raided the hotel... it was different =_=
It is only for people who love this kind of huge luxury building, and already know Le Meridien's style.
They made proper efforts to use as mush teak as possible and have the Thai feeling in the architecture.
Service is really good, and "Net" was really helpful, thanks to her!
If you are in Bangkok, it is only 1:20 flight to chiang rai and then a 10 minutes ride to the hotel, worth it to go away from the craziness and pollution of the capital.
+++ Positive +++
+ Amazing setting, the view on the river or the massive trees lighten with lanterns in between the buildings... the camp fire in the evening... we even saw a meteorite crashing few kilometers from us, it is hard to top that.
+ Spacious and clean rooms
+ Super comfy beds (zzzZZZ)
+ Big balcony
+ Excellent service (special mention to the woman called "Net" at the front desk!)
+ Food in general in the three restaurants is really good
+ For 400THB the breakfast buffet is good, but I would say 300THB would be a fairer price
+ 24/7 gym
+ Great WiFi
+ Hotel shuttle to airport (200THB) - the guy is from Fast & Furious though
+ Almost everyone in the team speaks a really correct to excellent English
--- Negative ---
- For this price and expectations, rooms should have a double door sas system. We really hear too much the people walking by or the room service ringing and talking to the guests next to us. So long privacy...
- Shower is good, and water temperature is stable but having a plastic bathtub in this kind of hotel makes everything look super cheap all of a sudden.
- TV is way too small, or the room too big I don't know, either way it i"Show more

Grand Vista Hotel Chiangrai
"There are few hotels in Chiang Rai that meet a Westerners expectations. Grand Vista does. Security is excellent, room is clean. Breakfast was Thai style with a special Chiang Rai speciality soup, vegetables/salad and egg station. Front desk staff was extremely kind and English was well spoken. For the rate I'd recommend this hotel as the #1 in CR. I recommend booking a back room as the front faces the highway and back-side is quiet."Show more

Katiliya Mountain Resort & Spa
"We chose this resort to avoid traffic and crowd in the city center during Songran New Year.
We had made a perfect decision. The room is specious and clean. The resort is near every must-visit outside the city of Chiang Rai. It was also our intention to stay in this resort which is situated in the middle between Mae Sai and Chiang Rai. For us, it was very convenient to drive to Doi Tung, Doi Mae Salong, Mae Sai, and ancient city of Chiang Saen. We could not find any faults during our three nights at the resort. We certainly will stay here again next time we visit Chiang Rai."Show more

Le Patta Chiang Rai Hotel
"Had a 2 night stay here with my elderly parents when touring Chiang Rai. This is a lovely hotel in Chiang Rai city, walking distance to the Chiang Rai night bazaar.
Hotel staff spoke good English and were very smiley and friendly. We could feel that they were eager to please the guests with their prompt service and pleasant demeanour.
According to the receptionist, the hotel is only a little over a year old, and you can feel the facilities are very new. Bed and bathroom was well kept and clean. The controls in the room uses touch sensors, not very elder friendly, but I guess that's OK.
Breakfast was good with a decent spread. Freshly cooked eggs and bacon were available for ordering. Only feedback that the spread could get tired, particularly when one stays longer than 2 nights.
Overall great hotel with exceptional value!"Show more

Laluna Hotel and Resort
"This hotel has been one of the highlights of my travels around Asia. Set on a quiet road about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Chiang Rai, the fairly ordinary entrance road does not prepare you for what waits at reception and beyond. Once checked in the friendly staff guide you through a tropical paradise of plants and trees to one of the spacious and well equipped bungalows. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent as this is one of the prices you pay for staying in the centre of so much greenery.
Reception staff are friendly and helpful although two of my few criticisms of the resort are that a) Their airport transfer is overpriced by about 200 baht (I booked through the tour place across road) and b) some of their tours are also more expensive than walking across road - plus there do not seem a lot of options for the solo traveller.
But these are both small, easily remedied criticisms.
The attached restaurant bar provides breakfast in the morning and drinks and meals at night; remember to get your daily 10% discount coupon and remember the 3 for 2 happy hours too.
The restaurant have both friendly staff and some amazing food. Try the Kao Soi Gai - a new dish for me and now one of my all time Thai favourites!
The breakfast buffet was perhaps the best I have experienced with a wide range of Thai and Western choices.
Also easy to get a tuk tuk up to the night market (should be about 50 baht each way)
All in all, the LaLuna is a gem in Chiang Rai and is most definitely on the 'must return' list!"Show more

Wiang Inn Hotel
"This is my first time at this hotel and it’s the best of the 3 hotels I have stayed in Chiang Rai. The location is very good in the centre of the traditional part of Chiang Rai. There are plenty of Thai and foreign restaurants nearby. The Night Bazaar is only 2 minutes’ walk and these markets are great affordable shopping with cheap eating options. The room was very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is great with much variety. The staff are friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the airport is only 100 THB per person. The swimming pool is big and deep however, it is not suitable for non-swimmers and children. Even the shallow end is deeper than a young child. Supervision is essential. The hotel is popular for tour groups which means that the tourism industry sees this as value for money, but also means it can be very busy, especially with booming Chinese tourism. I have nothing to be disappointed about with my stay here."Show more

Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort
"I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very quiet, the surrounding area is very beautiful, my room was awesome, and I was able to immerse myself in total quiet and relaxation. I felt tucked away from the the rest of the world. Upon check in, was upgraded to a room with a big tub on the balcony, which was awesome. I enjoyed hiking everyday and lounging by the quiet pool while staring at the mountains. I did not leave the resort for 4 days. This hotel is not a place to stay if you want to explore the towns nearby or use as a landing point for sightseeing. The hotel is about 45 minutes north of Chiang Rai and the hotel charges 300 baht just to take you into Mae Sai, and 1000 baht if you want to go to Chiang Rai. Only come here if you just want to relax and chill. To get back to Chiang Rai, I paid the hotel 300 baht to take me into Mae Sai and then I paid 20 baht to ride the bus to Chiang Rai. If you are coming from Chiang Rai, and you get a taxi to bring you to the hotel, (mine charged 400 baht), get your taxi driver's number so he can pick you up and bring you back to Chiang Rai when you leave."Show more

Phowadol Resort & Spa
"The hotel is located in resort environment, I firstly surprised to see the ambient atmosphere with super staff service when I checked in. Chiang Rai is a very nice province upnorth of Thailand, it's fully filled with Thai cultural and natural experiences. Before I booked this hotel, I have gone thru the comments, most of them looked positive to me. I didn't disappoint myself to stay in this hotel. Breakfast was good, staff was nice, room was clean with perfect amenities, lots of car park space, free night ride to night market, beautiful flowers/trees all along the walkway, etc.
Unfortunately, swimming pool was a bit off. Gym wasn't open in the morning. A bit far from downtown, therefore, those who have no car may find it a bit difficult, however, hotel has a service ride at reasonable price to anywhere in town."Show more

B2 Chiang Rai
"Stayed here for a second time, and it still is for me the best in Chiang Rai. It is centrally located, rooms are clean and well maintained. The only downside I experienced was, we arrived early in the day, but we weren't allowed check-in until about 1PM. They kept telling us that because we booked thru Agoda, check-in time is strictly 2PM. Nothing really bad because that's what it says on print. They allowed to keep our luggage so we can go around town. But, it would have been a nice touch if we were allowed to check-in earlier, the hotel wasn't really fully booked because it's off season for travel now. I wonder, if we booked through the B2 app, would we have been allowed to check-in earlier? Perhaps... In summary though, the value for money is really way above board, especially because we got a discounted price. Will definitely stay again here next time I'm in Chiang Rai."Show more

The welcome greeting was warm and sincere and she dealt with all our questions regarding routes to sights in an informative, efficient manner. Quite exceptional these days. The room was spacious, well-appointed and spotlessly clean.The hotel is situated in a most convenient location and within easy walking distance of the Sunday night market and other local eateries. I would most definitely recommend the hotel to travellers. It's about a 20 minute drive to the White Temple - artistically intriguing.Try to visit Canary Natural Resort while you are in Chiang Rai. A beautifully tranquil property in exquisite surroundings. Relaxing to sit on the verandah overlooking the hills, forests and gardens. Coffee (locally grown) is robust and aromatic., particularly at sunset. Thank you De Hug for a most enjoyable stay."Show more

There is excellent food in the area, but there is a message/guideline posted requesting that guests don't bring in food, which was disturbing and offensive considering the quality of the room service. The staff were cordial and professional. They took a while to get around to requests at times, but at other and more important tasks, they were very prompt. The room was close to immaculate and much more impressive than it appeared on the website. The pool and view were not impressive."Show more

Teak Garden Spa Resort
"the hotel consists of 15-20 small buildings, each having 2-4 rooms, disposed around the swimming pool. a night-lit running track encircles the site. the hotel is on the road to the airport, very close to it (free ride to/from), but a good distance from the city (baht ride). there is nothing of interest immediately around the hotel, so it is mainly a place to relax, or a base from which to go explore the (beautiful) region. you are going to have to rent a scooter or car to go to chiang rai, or pay 2x250 baht for the roundtrip every time you go downtown. i found chiang rai fairly boring, dead after 9pm, so i would not see any benefit to booking a hotel downtown.
the "superior" room was very enjoyable: large, quiet, clean, well ventilated. the bathroom only had a shower, but that's fine with me. the safe was large enough for laptop + cameras + stuff.
the breakfast buffet was the best i had during my trip to thailand. good choice and quality.
the staff is friendly and tries hard to help, but some of the pretty desk ladies only have very limited english speaking skills (but a lot better than my thai)."Show more

The Imperial River House Resort
"General impressions: This resort is set apart from the main street and overlooks the Kok River. For our trip in February, the resort was very quiet, with only a couple dozen other guests from what we could gather.
Public Areas: The lobby is spacious and comfortable. A welcome drink is offered during check-in. The main pool area is scenic and well designed, though the pool water was a bit too cold for our tastes. Only one elevator is available for each wing of the hotel, though given the low number of guests, this was not an issue.
Rooms: Rooms were quite spacious with a comfortable Thai-style couch by the window. The rooms actually look nicer in person than they did in photos. Bathrooms were also quite clean and all plumbing worked well. WiFi is free and rather fast. Power outlets are plentiful.
Food: Breakfast is rather good, even if the buffet is a bit small. Fresh eggs are cooked to order perfectly. Room service is also available and the pricing is very reasonable given that this is a resort set apart from the main roads. The food, particularly the curries, was delicious.
Services: The hotel offers a van service to the Night Bazaar upon demand. The fee is 100 baht each way per room. (The return trip can be made via other means, though taxis are not plentiful in Chiang Rai.) A pleasant surprise was the free airport shuttle, also available upon demand. I recommend checking with the hotel first to ensure availability, even though this didn't seem necessary when we used the service."Show more

"This hotel is a great pick in Chiang Rai. The location is very convenient, close to the clock tower, a lot of restaurants and a market. The room was bright (only one small window but good light and all in white) and the bathroom newly renovated. The bed was huge and very comfortable. However, the room was not very spacious but enough for our stay and amount of luggage. We also really enjoyed having a water boiler and coffee/tee, which they refilled daily. We did not have any meals included, so we can't rate the food/dining. The staff speaks english and was very helpful, they helped us out with a map and organised a taxi for us to take us to the bus station.

The breakfast served was huge (3 courses!) and tasted good.

The rooms are super new and clean and with all the amenities of a hotel for a fraction of the price (except maybe a lift would be good :)). While it's just a little further from the clock tower (where all the activity is at), the place feels really safe as it is next to a hospital and the area is well lit at night, compared to some other accommodations nearer to the clock tower. There is also a lot of food (also due to the hospital) and a convenience store right outside the B&B. If you're driving around in Chiang Rai like I did, the place has its own parking lot which means no worries about finding parking when you get back! Would 100% stay again at this place and I really recommend anyone staying in Chiang Rai to stay here."Show more

The reception hall and the restaurant (for breakfast) appears cool because of the furniture (white leather chairs). A good hotel in Chiang Rai. I stayed in the "La vie en Rose" because I did not find a nice hotel at that time (end of July 2012), all hotels I liked (a little bit cheaper ...) have been sold out. That's why I decided to go to the a little bit more expensive hotel, but the additional money was it worth, price / quality ratio is fine! I can recommend this hotel in Chaing Rai."Show more

However I received such a genuinely warm welcome and care throughout my stay that I extended to three nights and only left because my itinerary forced my hand. Sununtha (probably not spelling this right) was so incredibly delightful - she made me feel as though I had found my very own Thai family and I knew she made others feel the same. Everyone I spoke to was blown away by how welcoming this wonderful human being was. It's close to some waterfalls, hot Springs, national parks and the golden triangle so well worth spending some time here. The lodgings are clean and comfortable and all staff truly kind and attentive. I am so grateful that I got to experience this wonderful accommodation."Show more

Firstly, offer to help us get stamp and send out the post card for my friend and on the last day, send us to bus terminal. Show us the way to get around the city. Breakfast is provided even though the choice is limited but still a good gesture for the price they are charging. Well done and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone on agoda looking for accommodation in Chiang Rai."Show more

Baan Bua Homestay
"I cannot say enough good things about Baan Bua Homestay. I stayed here for 2 nights at the recommendation of a friend who lives in Chiang Rai and I was so torn each day between sightseeing and never ever wanting to leave this adorable little home away from home. Free waters in the room, wifi, and television on the ground floor rooms. So clean that you could eat off the floor, and right around the corner from the bus station, tons of restaurants, bars, the clock tower, etc. The best part of my stay was the service though. Nothing was too much work for them, and they made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I don't understand why, at USD a night, anyone would stay anywhere else. Just wonderful. Thanks Baan Bua Homestay!!"Show more

"This could be one of the best hostels in thailand! the best in chiang rai for sure!
Extremely friendly staff, comfortable bed and blanket (that make me hard to get out of bed 😂). Clean kitchen, clean toilet, and great common room, also not to mention the swimming pool area! so cozy!
Location wise, 5-10 minutes walk to bus station 1, night market,night bazaar. This hostel is very quiet at night and has a peaceful surroundings. not for party goers definitely but its heaven for those seeking peace!
Sad to leave this hostel early, would recommend this hostel to anyone! MUST TRY!"Show more

There are lockers and Public bathrooms you can use too. Also has washing machines for 20B, there is some places that could dry clothes in the sunshine. If you need any help or want to book a tour or transportaion service, staffs helping you very well. Common area is cozy and convenient. All the room types are breakfast included, it's quite simple but they provide fruits and boiled eggs so I liked it very much."Show more

"When I arrived at Happynest I couldn't believe how cute and chic it was, definitely the best hostel that I have stayed during my one month in Thailand. I booked a dorm room at a very reasonable price (with breakfast included) but ended up having the whole room and the toilet to myself. The staff members including the owner were very helpful and friendly; they were doing an ice bucket challenge on one evening and were nice enough to let me join in. There were many social areas for guests to chill out and mingle. I tried the western as well the Thai style breakfast, they were both delicious. I will definitely recommend this hostel to friends who are interested in visiting Chiang Rai!"Show more

We rent 3 bed in dormitory room. The bed are very comfort and clean. Each person get a towel and mineral water. Overall is good, but the wall isnt soundproof, so we hear a very noise voice from the guest next door.
Bathroom and toilet is very clean.
And as a guest, we get many compliment as discount 30% for beverage in its cafe, also free detergent and softener for the laundry.

"One lady was super lovely, she gave me advice about flights and trips and then took me to the 7/11 and back cause I didn't want to walk in the dark! Some of the staff don't speak good English but it's enough and they are polite. Whole place is clean and nice, beds are nice. The female dorm would benefit for a few more fans. Very hot if your on the top side bunks. Great location near the 7/11 and night bizarre. Free water refills. Free coffee and tea and bananas in the morning. Towel included. I would also recommend the whole day tour of Chiang rai that I got from the hostel, the guide actually did guide us around the places (not just a driver) very insightful and excellent English. They arranged my taxi to the airport that was 200bt. Great experience. Thankyou in particular to the lady who took me to the 7/11 and went above and beyond her role for me."Show more

Winter House Chiang Rai
"All the reviews are true. Da da is an exceptional host who tries her best to make you feel welcome in her home. She offers many services for our stay she offered to give us a tour of Chiang Rai (1200thb/total), dinner (100thb/person), breakfast (70thb/person), bike rental (200thb/person) and laundry (25thb/kg). Like other reviews have said Da da does tend to push the services she offers; however, the services ended up being relatively cheap for Chiang Rai. As for the house, the rooms were good, the beds were fine for Thailand and the air conditioning worked. The location was a little far from the centre of the city but that wasn’t too much of a problem for us. There are a few places that are similar prices that have better amenities but I n the end you pay for Da da and her hospitality rather than the place itself."Show more

Huan Kawin Est.58 Lanna Home & Collection
"The guesthouse is very well located in Chiang Rai, close to the night market and bus station and not far from city center. Everything in the city is in walking distance. You can rent a motorbike directly from the hostel to go to the less central sites (white temple, blue temple, black house, waterfall) which is very convenient (it s quite easy to drive in Chiang Rai).
The room is big and clean, with air conditioner. The bathroom is shared, so might not be clean everytime depending on the other guests, but ok. Only inconvenient is that you can hear everything the other guests are doing, so bring your earplugs, otherwise it s perfect.
The hosts are really kind and helpful with good advise and great service! Thank you for the 2 times laundry because of the storm.
They also serve food wich we haven t tested (exept from the free breakfast, which was good) because there are so many food places nearby, but it sure smelled good.
Thanks again for our stay in Chiang Rai, we really enjoyed!"Show more

Orchids Guest House
"We arrived to check in and were told (ever so apologetically) that the person in our room had decided to stay and not told them. So we couldn’t check in. They kindly offered and arranged another room at no charge down the road in another hotel, unfortunately, when we went there, it really wasn’t great, so we decided to refuse the room and went in search of another room on foot, with our backpacks. We also asked Agoda to cancel the first night’s booking, which they did quickly and efficiently. We ended up staying at Chaing Rai Hotel, which was fine, but nearly double the price.
Next day we successfully managed to check into our room at The Orchard. The staff were always sweet and helpful, but the rooms were looking fairly neglected. Both the room and the bathroom could do with a good lick of paint. The bed whilst a double was smaller than what we’d had in almost every other hotel we’ve been in, but it was still sufficient. The bed itself wasn’t great - it’s a pocket sprung mattress which has seen better days - I could feel the springs under me and it did affect my sleep. As all the rooms point into a central courtyard we were also woken up by other guests checking in at an incredibly early time in the morning.
The bathroom was fine and functional but nothing to get excited about. If you can’t find anywhere else to stay, you’ll be fine here, but I don’t think I can hand on heard recommend it. Spend a bit more money and you’ll be fine - the choice of decent sleeps in Chiang Rai is a bit harder to find."Show more

Hotel staff spoke good English and were very smiley and friendly. We could feel that they were eager to please the guests with their prompt service and pleasant demeanour.
According to the receptionist, the hotel is only a little over a year old, and you can feel the facilities are very new. Bed and bathroom was well kept and clean. The controls in the room uses touch sensors, not very elder friendly, but I guess that's OK.
Breakfast was good with a decent spread. Freshly cooked eggs and bacon were available for ordering. Only feedback that the spread could get tired, particularly when one stays longer than 2 nights.
Overall great hotel with exceptional value!"Show more

Laluna Hotel and Resort
"This hotel has been one of the highlights of my travels around Asia. Set on a quiet road about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Chiang Rai, the fairly ordinary entrance road does not prepare you for what waits at reception and beyond. Once checked in the friendly staff guide you through a tropical paradise of plants and trees to one of the spacious and well equipped bungalows. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent as this is one of the prices you pay for staying in the centre of so much greenery.
Reception staff are friendly and helpful although two of my few criticisms of the resort are that a) Their airport transfer is overpriced by about 200 baht (I booked through the tour place across road) and b) some of their tours are also more expensive than walking across road - plus there do not seem a lot of options for the solo traveller.
But these are both small, easily remedied criticisms.
The attached restaurant bar provides breakfast in the morning and drinks and meals at night; remember to get your daily 10% discount coupon and remember the 3 for 2 happy hours too.
The restaurant have both friendly staff and some amazing food. Try the Kao Soi Gai - a new dish for me and now one of my all time Thai favourites!
The breakfast buffet was perhaps the best I have experienced with a wide range of Thai and Western choices.
Also easy to get a tuk tuk up to the night market (should be about 50 baht each way)
All in all, the LaLuna is a gem in Chiang Rai and is most definitely on the 'must return' list!"Show more

Wiang Inn Hotel
"This is my first time at this hotel and it’s the best of the 3 hotels I have stayed in Chiang Rai. The location is very good in the centre of the traditional part of Chiang Rai. There are plenty of Thai and foreign restaurants nearby. The Night Bazaar is only 2 minutes’ walk and these markets are great affordable shopping with cheap eating options. The room was very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is great with much variety. The staff are friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the airport is only 100 THB per person. The swimming pool is big and deep however, it is not suitable for non-swimmers and children. Even the shallow end is deeper than a young child. Supervision is essential. The hotel is popular for tour groups which means that the tourism industry sees this as value for money, but also means it can be very busy, especially with booming Chinese tourism. I have nothing to be disappointed about with my stay here."Show more

Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort
"I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very quiet, the surrounding area is very beautiful, my room was awesome, and I was able to immerse myself in total quiet and relaxation. I felt tucked away from the the rest of the world. Upon check in, was upgraded to a room with a big tub on the balcony, which was awesome. I enjoyed hiking everyday and lounging by the quiet pool while staring at the mountains. I did not leave the resort for 4 days. This hotel is not a place to stay if you want to explore the towns nearby or use as a landing point for sightseeing. The hotel is about 45 minutes north of Chiang Rai and the hotel charges 300 baht just to take you into Mae Sai, and 1000 baht if you want to go to Chiang Rai. Only come here if you just want to relax and chill. To get back to Chiang Rai, I paid the hotel 300 baht to take me into Mae Sai and then I paid 20 baht to ride the bus to Chiang Rai. If you are coming from Chiang Rai, and you get a taxi to bring you to the hotel, (mine charged 400 baht), get your taxi driver's number so he can pick you up and bring you back to Chiang Rai when you leave."Show more

Chiang Rai is a very nice province upnorth of Thailand, it's fully filled with Thai cultural and natural experiences. Before I booked this hotel, I have gone thru the comments, most of them looked positive to me. I didn't disappoint myself to stay in this hotel. Breakfast was good, staff was nice, room was clean with perfect amenities, lots of car park space, free night ride to night market, beautiful flowers/trees all along the walkway, etc.
Unfortunately, swimming pool was a bit off. Gym wasn't open in the morning. A bit far from downtown, therefore, those who have no car may find it a bit difficult, however, hotel has a service ride at reasonable price to anywhere in town."Show more

The staff were cordial and professional. They took a while to get around to requests at times, but at other and more important tasks, they were very prompt. The room was close to immaculate and much more impressive than it appeared on the website. The pool and view were not impressive."Show more

Teak Garden Spa Resort
"the hotel consists of 15-20 small buildings, each having 2-4 rooms, disposed around the swimming pool. a night-lit running track encircles the site. the hotel is on the road to the airport, very close to it (free ride to/from), but a good distance from the city (baht ride). there is nothing of interest immediately around the hotel, so it is mainly a place to relax, or a base from which to go explore the (beautiful) region. you are going to have to rent a scooter or car to go to chiang rai, or pay 2x250 baht for the roundtrip every time you go downtown. i found chiang rai fairly boring, dead after 9pm, so i would not see any benefit to booking a hotel downtown.
the "superior" room was very enjoyable: large, quiet, clean, well ventilated. the bathroom only had a shower, but that's fine with me. the safe was large enough for laptop + cameras + stuff.
the breakfast buffet was the best i had during my trip to thailand. good choice and quality.

The Imperial River House Resort
"General impressions: This resort is set apart from the main street and overlooks the Kok River. For our trip in February, the resort was very quiet, with only a couple dozen other guests from what we could gather.
Public Areas: The lobby is spacious and comfortable. A welcome drink is offered during check-in. The main pool area is scenic and well designed, though the pool water was a bit too cold for our tastes. Only one elevator is available for each wing of the hotel, though given the low number of guests, this was not an issue.
Rooms: Rooms were quite spacious with a comfortable Thai-style couch by the window. The rooms actually look nicer in person than they did in photos. Bathrooms were also quite clean and all plumbing worked well. WiFi is free and rather fast. Power outlets are plentiful.
Food: Breakfast is rather good, even if the buffet is a bit small. Fresh eggs are cooked to order perfectly. Room service is also available and the pricing is very reasonable given that this is a resort set apart from the main roads. The food, particularly the curries, was delicious.
Services: The hotel offers a van service to the Night Bazaar upon demand. The fee is 100 baht each way per room. (The return trip can be made via other means, though taxis are not plentiful in Chiang Rai.) A pleasant surprise was the free airport shuttle, also available upon demand. I recommend checking with the hotel first to ensure availability, even though this didn't seem necessary when we used the service."Show more

The room was very clean. Nothing fancy or big, however we did not expect that when booking, and it was absolutely perfect for what we needed.

Khamthana the Colonial Hotel Chiangrai
"This is one of the few times when the actual experience of the property/facilities was nicer than the photos (it's usually the other way around). The hotel exceeded our expectations and made for a happy stay.
The staff is very friendly and the hotel room was big, very nicely appointed, and clean. The hotel grounds were well kept and very pleasing - quiet, comfortable and relaxing.
We overlooked the pool, had a nice little balcony, and were always greeted very nicely by the service staff whenever we'd encounter them.
The breakfast was pretty good in that they make eggs to order and have fresh waffles, plus fruit (besides the local foods, which we tasted, but we preferred to eat the western food). If you're looking for a really nice breakfast buffet, you won't find it here - but, for us, that it was perfect (fruit, salad, eggs, waffles and coffee).
We only had dinner at the hotel once, and we ate light, so not much to comment regarding the food from the restaurant. What we had was nice and met our expectations.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning on staying in Chiang Rai. We really really enjoyed our Chiang Rai experience, and our stay was made extra special because of this hotel."Show more

Although satellite TV (none in English or even English subtitles . . . .you have your own decoder, but you can't choose English). Laundry is definitely overpriced for the service. No mini bar. Very noisy. . . especially in the early morning with guests checking out. The reason being that sound is carried and echoes throughout the whole hotel. . . Ring design and all room doors aren't sealed properly with huge gaps under the door. Swimming pool area was nice and the restaurant food was excellent. The fitness center was disappointing and requires more equipment. . . . ALL this said and done and having the worst first impression ever arriving at the hotel and then trying to check out again which ended in a huge fail. . . . . the manager went out of his way to put us in a VIP suite. This room was excellent and would recommend it IF a foreigner wants to go here, to book the suite instead of the other available rooms. This place is way too far from anything. . .not even a 7Eleven is nearby. It forces you then to stay at the hotel and make use of their restaurant and "bar". . .also have to mention that not everything on the menu was available and same goes for the so called "bar". We stayed for 3 nights and the best day was when we went to the hospital in Chiang Rai and only got back late that afternoon (that should say something)."Show more

I Doi Hotel
"We were a little confused during check in since the payment was not made thru on line. The price thru Agoda was in dollars but front desk would not accept dollars. We also have to deposit 1000 baths for key deposit not mentioned in Agoda plus very unusual for hotel. The rooms had no hand towels or soap for sink. We had half a roll of toilet tissue. The room was not cleaned for second day of stay. No clean towels. We got up early but the second floor door was locked and could not come down stairs thru the lobby just like prison. I mentioned that to the manager but he just said he locked the door so stuff would not be stolen! Wow! We are guests not thieves. Entrance to the property is awkward as it is diagonal to the road and many cars must have scraped their cars. The positive notes are that the building is new and everything is still new. The price is too high for the location. The coffee was served early but the manager said 9 am us a normal time.
If you want to accommodate guests especially thru Agoda, I would have more competitive standard. Than what they have. I’d like to see Thais do well and not fails after a few years. So use this review as you see fit."Show more

Luck Swan Resort
"We were impressed with the resort and pool - we definitely weren't expecting what we got because we paid such a low price. This place is very good value for money!! The staff were very friendly and helpful too. However, there are some things you need to know, especially for families with young children.
The pool, although very clean, has no cover so hats and sunscreen are a must. There is also no barrier separating the deep pool from the children's pool, so you need to be watching your children AT ALL TIMES! It is very easy for them to be walking along in the children's pool and all of a sudden step onto ground that is too deep for them to stand. I highly recommend the hotel put a barrier there before something happens.
Luck Swan is also a few kms out of town which is great for those who have a car or tour guides picking them up, but not for those who want to be able to walk to the night market.
The only other thing is that it seems to be a popular place for meetings and large tours, which meant that for both nights during our stay there were tour groups from other asian countries that arrived late at night and were yelling near our door (past 10pm). This, of course, is not the hotel's fault. But just something to be aware of. It can happen at any place. If this becomes a problem it would be good for the hotel to put up signs asking guests to be mindful of others.
For those with a low budget who want a clean, professional hotel with a swimming pool, and have your own transport to the places you need to go in Chiang Rai, Luck Swan is a great choice."Show more

Chiang Rai Valley Resort @Doi Hom Fha
"We love this place! The view was so nice wherever you were in this hotel!
Because we went to this hotel on weekdays before long weekends started so we felt like we're only customer there, actually they had another customers too but it just what we felt, so we had dinner, breakfast, explored the hotel just only 2 of us and felt like we own the swimming pool which is great!
The location was great because we stayed on the top of the mountain, surrounded by the lake but a bit hard to go out because you have to take a boat to get in or go out and a bit far from the town."Show more

Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort, Thailand
"It is Le Meridien, so of course I am picky.
First of all it is quite surprising to find such a huge mega resort in a place like Chiang Rai.
First day was extremely quiet, almost no clients in the hotel, it gives the experience an uttermost feeling of luxury. The following day at least 60 Spanish people in coach bus and 30 Chinese people raided the hotel... it was different =_=
It is only for people who love this kind of huge luxury building, and already know Le Meridien's style.
They made proper efforts to use as mush teak as possible and have the Thai feeling in the architecture.
Service is really good, and "Net" was really helpful, thanks to her!
If you are in Bangkok, it is only 1:20 flight to chiang rai and then a 10 minutes ride to the hotel, worth it to go away from the craziness and pollution of the capital.
+++ Positive +++
+ Amazing setting, the view on the river or the massive trees lighten with lanterns in between the buildings... the camp fire in the evening... we even saw a meteorite crashing few kilometers from us, it is hard to top that.
+ Spacious and clean rooms
+ Super comfy beds (zzzZZZ)
+ Big balcony
+ Excellent service (special mention to the woman called "Net" at the front desk!)
+ Food in general in the three restaurants is really good
+ For 400THB the breakfast buffet is good, but I would say 300THB would be a fairer price
+ 24/7 gym
+ Great WiFi
+ Hotel shuttle to airport (200THB) - the guy is from Fast & Furious though
+ Almost everyone in the team speaks a really correct to excellent English
--- Negative ---
- For this price and expectations, rooms should have a double door sas system. We really hear too much the people walking by or the room service ringing and talking to the guests next to us. So long privacy...
- Shower is good, and water temperature is stable but having a plastic bathtub in this kind of hotel makes everything look super cheap all of a sudden.
- TV is way too small, or the room too big I don't know, either way it i"Show more

"We chose this resort to avoid traffic and crowd in the city center during Songran New Year.
We had made a perfect decision. The room is specious and clean. The resort is near every must-visit outside the city of Chiang Rai. It was also our intention to stay in this resort which is situated in the middle between Mae Sai and Chiang Rai. For us, it was very convenient to drive to Doi Tung, Doi Mae Salong, Mae Sai, and ancient city of Chiang Saen. We could not find any faults during our three nights at the resort. We certainly will stay here again next time we visit Chiang Rai."Show more

"Family room suite has spacious space, worth the price. A 7-foot King size bed is perfect for family who has to sleep with kids. No floor stepping which would be dangerous for toddlers.
Check in/out service is fast.
Breakfast is good for everyone. A lot of selections, changing everyday.
Gyms is also good but close at 8 pm is too early for nowadays's trend.
Kids' club has a big ball house which is heaven for every kids (Small toddlers to the early adolescent!) It's free, though!
This hotel is probably the only hotel in Chiang Rai which has a good kids' club with ball house.
Anyway, hotel should provide attending staff, at least to control kids'play which always has various age groups at the same time.
Another toys are mostly broken. Should be replaced and get maintenance.
Swimming pool is also awesome for kids. A pool bar is also available. (It may be even a lot better if there is a curly water slide.)

Traveler impressions of Chiang Rai
We thought the Black house was the most interesting museum/temple we'd seen on our entire 3 week trip through SE Asia until we found The White Temple and art gallery! Oh Dear, what fascinating attractions Chiang Rai has to offer! Add to that the warm friendly small town ambiance, great shopping, and really good inexpensive restaurants and you've found the perfect vacation paradise!
Karen, United States
There are so many Doi and national park up in the mountain. Visiting hill tribes, elephants, the border market, and so on are also possible.
Kanlayanee, Thailand
The livestyle of the people is slower than in Bangkok, the song-teow transporters are sometimes taking advantage from tourists.
Peach-On, Thailand
You can visit beautiful temples, shopping everywhere. The food are plentiful, can find everywhere, most of them cheap and good.
Gek Neo Agnes, Singapore
I travelled to Chiang Mai with my parents. We had a really interesting time there visiting The Golden Triangle and learning about the opium run.
Deborah, United Kingdom
Not much to offer in the City Centre apart from the Night Market and the usual stores. However out of the city there are many attractions such boat trips, and visits to Hill Tribes.
PETER, United Kingdom
There are many activities in Chiang Rai, not just the natural exploring but also the art and cultural in the heritage province

There's not many things to talk about Chiang Rai, cause it's just a little copy of Chiang Mai and on the road to Golden Triangle.
Lam Da, Vietnam
Chiang Rai is a lovely place to relax, has affordable delicious food, is cooler than Chiang Mai at night and less crowded too! However, if you are geared for high octane entertainment, Chiang Mai is better.
Ching Chai, Malaysia
The city is small and not very interesting. Charming for sure but apart from the White Temple, it isn't really worth staying long time.

Wiang Inn Hotel
"This is my first time at this hotel and it’s the best of the 3 hotels I have stayed in Chiang Rai. The location is very good in the centre of the traditional part of Chiang Rai. There are plenty of Thai and foreign restaurants nearby. The Night Bazaar is only 2 minutes’ walk and these markets are great affordable shopping with cheap eating options. The room was very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is great with much variety. The staff are friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the airport is only 100 THB per person. The swimming pool is big and deep however, it is not suitable for non-swimmers and children. Even the shallow end is deeper than a young child. Supervision is essential. The hotel is popular for tour groups which means that the tourism industry sees this as value for money, but also means it can be very busy, especially with booming Chinese tourism. I have nothing to be disappointed about with my stay here."Show more

Before I booked this hotel, I have gone thru the comments, most of them looked positive to me. I didn't disappoint myself to stay in this hotel. Breakfast was good, staff was nice, room was clean with perfect amenities, lots of car park space, free night ride to night market, beautiful flowers/trees all along the walkway, etc.
Unfortunately, swimming pool was a bit off. Gym wasn't open in the morning. A bit far from downtown, therefore, those who have no car may find it a bit difficult, however, hotel has a service ride at reasonable price to anywhere in town."Show more

The room was spacious, well-appointed and spotlessly clean.The hotel is situated in a most convenient location and within easy walking distance of the Sunday night market and other local eateries. I would most definitely recommend the hotel to travellers. It's about a 20 minute drive to the White Temple - artistically intriguing.Try to visit Canary Natural Resort while you are in Chiang Rai. A beautifully tranquil property in exquisite surroundings. Relaxing to sit on the verandah overlooking the hills, forests and gardens.

The staff were cordial and professional. They took a while to get around to requests at times, but at other and more important tasks, they were very prompt.

"the hotel consists of 15-20 small buildings, each having 2-4 rooms, disposed around the swimming pool. a night-lit running track encircles the site. the hotel is on the road to the airport, very close to it (free ride to/from), but a good distance from the city (baht ride). there is nothing of interest immediately around the hotel, so it is mainly a place to relax, or a base from which to go explore the (beautiful) region. you are going to have to rent a scooter or car to go to chiang rai, or pay 2x250 baht for the roundtrip every time you go downtown. i found chiang rai fairly boring, dead after 9pm, so i would not see any benefit to booking a hotel downtown.
the "superior" room was very enjoyable: large, quiet, clean, well ventilated. the bathroom only had a shower, but that's fine with me. the safe was large enough for laptop + cameras + stuff.
the breakfast buffet was the best i had during my trip to thailand. good choice and quality.

Laluna Hotel and Resort
"This hotel has been one of the highlights of my travels around Asia. Set on a quiet road about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Chiang Rai, the fairly ordinary entrance road does not prepare you for what waits at reception and beyond. Once checked in the friendly staff guide you through a tropical paradise of plants and trees to one of the spacious and well equipped bungalows. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent as this is one of the prices you pay for staying in the centre of so much greenery.
Reception staff are friendly and helpful although two of my few criticisms of the resort are that a) Their airport transfer is overpriced by about 200 baht (I booked through the tour place across road) and b) some of their tours are also more expensive than walking across road - plus there do not seem a lot of options for the solo traveller.
But these are both small, easily remedied criticisms.
The attached restaurant bar provides breakfast in the morning and drinks and meals at night; remember to get your daily 10% discount coupon and remember the 3 for 2 happy hours too.
The restaurant have both friendly staff and some amazing food. Try the Kao Soi Gai - a new dish for me and now one of my all time Thai favourites!
The breakfast buffet was perhaps the best I have experienced with a wide range of Thai and Western choices.
Also easy to get a tuk tuk up to the night market (should be about 50 baht each way)
All in all, the LaLuna is a gem in Chiang Rai and is most definitely on the 'must return' list!"Show more

A-Star Phulare Valley Resort
"Bandara Resort is in the stage of a soft opening, not everything is ready yet. We had took that into account when we stayed there and you should too. They told me it will officially open 2-3 months or around June/July 2014. It was quiet as we only saw about another 7 guests there..
The place is beautiful though, with amazing gardens and amazing views. Although, at this time of year (March/April) there is a lot of smoke around Chiang Rai due to burning off in Thailand and surrounding countries. But this is hardly the fault of the resort, but don't let that stop you. It's still a lovely place and I can only imagine how much nicer it will be in a few months time. The room was great, we had the Pool Villa and having your own pool was awesome. We swam as much as we wanted and didn't have to worry about other people. The villa was amazing. Big bed, big couch, lovely bathroom, 2 TVs. Mind you, they only offered Thai channels, which I think they need to upgrade and offer some English channels as well.
One other downer we had was the bath didn't work, we could get no water out of the taps. I think they may be due to not being open yet, it would have been nice, but we got over it quickly. Probably the worst part for me was my meal was average and for what you pay, I was expecting more. Firstly they didn't have the menu item I first chose and the 2nd item was average. It wasn't horrible, just wasn't what I was expecting. Again, I put this down to the soft opening, I am sure it will all be sorted by the time they officially open. Due to the soft open, the price of the rooms are nicely discounted, so it was worth it anyway. The Wifi was also super fast, but this could be because there wasn't many people using it.
The location, the room, the pool all made up for the so so meal. Breakfast buffet was great by the way, they had a wide selection of food to choose from. For a relaxing get away just north of Chiang Rai, don't think there would be a better place."Show more

"I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very quiet, the surrounding area is very beautiful, my room was awesome, and I was able to immerse myself in total quiet and relaxation. I felt tucked away from the the rest of the world. Upon check in, was upgraded to a room with a big tub on the balcony, which was awesome. I enjoyed hiking everyday and lounging by the quiet pool while staring at the mountains. I did not leave the resort for 4 days. This hotel is not a place to stay if you want to explore the towns nearby or use as a landing point for sightseeing. The hotel is about 45 minutes north of Chiang Rai and the hotel charges 300 baht just to take you into Mae Sai, and 1000 baht if you want to go to Chiang Rai. Only come here if you just want to relax and chill. To get back to Chiang Rai, I paid the hotel 300 baht to take me into Mae Sai and then I paid 20 baht to ride the bus to Chiang Rai. If you are coming from Chiang Rai, and you get a taxi to bring you to the hotel, (mine charged 400 baht), get your taxi driver's number so he can pick you up and bring you back to Chiang Rai when you leave."Show more

"This was a great hotel. it seemed like the staff really cared. Its located in the middle of a predominantly thai residential area. 15 min walk to big C, and central plaza ( which were also filled with only locals) making prices very cheap. Please
note this area is unforgiving if you cant stand bugs or cockroaches ( they roam the streets at night). but hotel room includes bug repelent and mosquito zapper.
we had one cockroach get into our room on the first day. but after that we were more carful with keeping door closed and putting repelent under doorslit.
breakfast is good, includes different home made thai dishes each day, for those who like more than eggs and toast.
room has hot water kettle. and many ammendities ( no microwave though)
good for a quiet comfortable sleep. beds were better than average thai bed.
best coffee ( and ice coffee) i've ever had a block away. I highly recommend you try fraps for 35 baht.
every attraction in chiang rai is spaced apart. If you want to see it all for a reasonable price, rent a car. I believe chiang rai is one of the easiest cities to drive in. very sane traffic, people stay inside lanes, and lots of signage. otherwise best bet is a tour for 1000 bahtper person. we origionally tried seeing all attractions with busses and grab ta

The breakfast served was huge (3 courses!) and tasted good.

Hotel is providing simple breakfast such as fried rice, bread, sausage and ham, good taste. Although the swimming pool is not big, that is enough for swimming. Only one thing the guest need to have caution is the location is not easy to find. If u drive yourself please be careful the google map gps may guide you a wrong way. But the road nearby the hotel, there are many signs of this hotel, u should take awareness. Overall, the hotel is very very good, I will go here again the next time in Chiang Rai."Show more

The Mantrini Chiang Rai Resort
"stayed one night before flying out to bangkok. saw the hotel on agoda and was very happy we chose this one as it has a huge lobby, huge dinning room and nice pool surrounded by lovely trees and plants. the room was small with two twin beds but very confortable with fridge, hot water for coffee and the bathroom was well laid out. roomrate came with breakfast and we had a good buffet breakfast before flying out. they have a van for each to the airport and not wanting to take a tuktuk we went by the van.
the hotel is so close to the newest or only mall in chiang rai with the only starbucks so we enjoyed walking over to the mall for dinner and coffee, very nice mall, about time chiang rai got one.
will be back and will stay at this hotel again."Show more

Nai Suan Bed and Breakfast
"Nice stay in Chiang Rai. The Staff there was nice and helpful all the time.
Nice breakfast. Everything about the building was nice.
Location is a bit inside and that area not busy during night time so might be a bit dark when walk back. Near to hospital, nice local food outside the entrance of the hotel. 15 minutes walk to the night bazaar.
Will definitely stay back again when i am going to Chiang Rai."Show more

Teak Garden Spa Resort
"the hotel consists of 15-20 small buildings, each having 2-4 rooms, disposed around the swimming pool. a night-lit running track encircles the site. the hotel is on the road to the airport, very close to it (free ride to/from), but a good distance from the city (baht ride). there is nothing of interest immediately around the hotel, so it is mainly a place to relax, or a base from which to go explore the (beautiful) region. you are going to have to rent a scooter or car to go to chiang rai, or pay 2x250 baht for the roundtrip every time you go downtown. i found chiang rai fairly boring, dead after 9pm, so i would not see any benefit to booking a hotel downtown.
the "superior" room was very enjoyable: large, quiet, clean, well ventilated. the bathroom only had a shower, but that's fine with me. the safe was large enough for laptop + cameras + stuff.
the breakfast buffet was the best i had during my trip to thailand. good choice and quality.
the staff is friendly and tries hard to help, but some of the pretty desk ladies only have very limited english speaking skills (but a lot better than my thai)."Show more

The Loft @Chiangrai
"We checked in there for the night as we were passing by for a worktrip to go to the Chiang Rai airport early the next morning. So the location works out really well for us - the hotel staff helped us to call a taxi to go to the airport. However, the location may not be ideal if you want to explore the city.
The room is nice designed with an industrial theme. There was problem with switching off a white light in the middle of the room. The staff told us that it was an emergency light (which was weird because this doesn't happen in other hotels and another friend who slept in another room did not have this problem). Anyway we asked the staff to turn it off by screwing it out (switching off from the main cable box was not possible).
The staff were all very helpful and friendly and appreciated their help when we checked in very late and had the problem with the light!"Show more

Bandu Resort
"The Bandu Resort, as of November 2019, is under a new very committed and enthusiastic management, which will definitely improve an already very good structure. Location is excellent if you need to get to the airport as well as for daily trips in the Chiang Rai area. Not far from the city either, although very good wating/drinking options are within walking distance in the nearby streets, especially if you like to live the genuine local scene away from the tourists. Nice (salt water) pool open till evening (9pm i think). Last but not least, very good value for the cost. I'll stay here again next time I am in the Chiang Rai area. Our thanks and best wishes to the new manager!"Show more

OYO 775 Explore Hotel
"After a visa run from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai, it was exactly what we needed - new, neat, clean place to relax after a hot day with several buses. I would such conditions to be as twice as expensive. Great value for money. The only drawback is that its a bit far out, but then aging we couldn't figure out what is the 'center' of Chiang Rai is as its widely spread and unstructured."Show more

"We were pleasantly surprised by this place. This is a great place for kids with a very nice salt water swimming pool, swings, and grassy play area by the pool. The value for the price is really good. It was nice and quiet as well since it is back from the main road a bit. Though we were there on a Sunday night so I can't say if the area is louder on other nights. "Show more

Chiang Rai Park Resort
"I would definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay and if you want to stay on the outskirts of the city. Situated on the north side of the Chiang Rai, near the airport. It was one of the quietest and cleanest places I have ever stayed in Thailand. The room was spotless, smelled fresh, and clean. The bathroom was immaculate too. Soap/shampoo from a dispenser and two towels provided. No coffee making facilities in the room, free in the restaurant. Flat screen TV with 60 channels six in English. Small fridge with two bottles of complementary water two glasses provided, toilet roll and AC. The bed wasn’t the softest but not the hardest bed I have slept on in Thailand
All the rooms on the three floors face the pool, divided into four sections. A pool for children with mushroom water fountains and depictions of characters from the film ‘Nemo’ on the bottom, splash pool for water chutes/slides and deep plunge pool as well as 1.5-metre pool for swimming. The pool wasn’t immaculate but very clean. Ample parking and security guard on duty throughout the night. Opposite the entrance, the shop sells ice, beer and snacks, which we took to the restaurant area. Food in the restaurant limited, but no objection as in most places in Thailand made if you to bring your own food in to eat, many food outlets on the main road with food market and usual 7/11. Friendly staff with no English
We will definitely stay again"Show more

More about Chiang Rai
As a regional capital, Chiang Rai gives its name to the entire province, and travelers come here for rustic getaways, jungle trekking, and a chance to engage the dozen hill-tribe cultures that have settled here. Legend states that Thailand's famous Emerald Buddha was discovered here, and while its temple remains, the prized artifact has been moved to Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew.
Visitors typically spend a night or two in the city center, or Amphoe Muang Chiang Rai, before heading out into the backcountry. With the borders of Myanmar and Laos just over the horizon, there is plenty of culture to explore. The three countries meet at the Golden Triangle, a once lawless land that has replaced opium cultivation with the safer and more reliable tourist trade. Attractions here include the Hall of Opium, Burmese-styled temples, and excellent hill-tribe trekking opportunities.
Chiang Rai’s peak season is in December and January, a time that attracts many domestic travelers to enjoy the cooler temperatures the region offers. The city’s best hotels are located along the Kok River or near the centrally located night bazaar, and they provide excellent assistance in arranging the activities you would like to partake in.
