Chiang Mai Plaza Hotel: Good and cheap in Chiang Mai

  • Not very impressive from the outside (well, there IS a big poster of Thailands King right over half the front), the entrance hall makes it even. -Very impressive with all the ornamentation (some of them more indian looking than thai).

    We booked it, because we had a day before and one after the tour we made in Chiang Mai and the hotel was also the one we would stay on the tour. So we would not need to change hotels and could alos leave some of our luggage here when we travelled.

    We were positively surprised.

    Unique Qualities: The rooms are clean.
    The double bed is that big that 4 adult people could sleep in it easily (in any direction :-).
    The staff is friendly and helpfull.
    Morning buffet was very big (everything you want and more).

    Also the hotel is quite good and centrally located, only 2 minutes walk from the night market, but out of the traffic.

    There are also some good restaurants close by, if you do not want to use the one of the hotel.

    Wiang Inn, Chiang Rai: In the Center of Chiang Rai

  • In the entrance hall there is somewhere a sign, explaining that the name is a mixture of languages meaning something like "Rest for the weary traveller" and was suggested so by the ministry of tourism...

    Well, anyway. It was another hotel we had on our tour.
    It must have some contacts with a lot of tour operators, because there were quite a lot of tourists there (not only westeners, but also Japanese and Thai).

    Unique Qualities: Very big complex with astounding long floors.
    Clean Rooms, a lot of them donīt really have a view (except you call the next house a view).

    Located close to a main road, but a little set back so you wonīt hear anything of the noise.
    Some minutes walk to the Night Market of Chiang Rai (yes, they also have one).

    Big Buffets, many people.

  • by Myndo

  • Very nice hotel, located so, that you have a wonderful view on the Mekong River and the Golden Triangle right out of your room.

    Unique Qualities: Clean and nicely decorated rooms (lot of wood), big bed.
    Balkon to sit out in the evening.
    Quiet in the night.

    In the evening while having dinner in their restaurant, they offer a short show with local dances, quite cute made actually - not so professionel as elsewhere.

    Buffet is good and with many choices.

    Hmong Hilltribe Lodge: Living like the Hmong
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Northern Thailand - Hmong Hilltribe Lodge, Bungalow
  • Hmong Hilltribe Lodge, Bungalow
  • by Myndo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Well, I am pretty sure that the Hilltribe Houses these Bungalows are constructed after are not that comfortable as what you will have when lodging here.

    This is not a real hotel, but there are several Lodges or Bungalows.
    Like the originals they stand on "legs" and are almost copletely made of wood and bamboo.

    The surroundings are very green, park-like.
    Evening buffet under the stars.

    Unique Qualities: In one Bungalow are 4 rooms, each complete with big bed, shower and toilet separately.
    The windows are always half closed (because of their construction), that gives the room a warm look, too.

    Only one thing. The walls are a little thin, so you can hear very well, what your neighbour does ...
