Welcoming atmosphere. Arrived on the day the king and queen were coming to visit, so there were lots of ribbons decorating the streets. We stood with the crowd awaiting their arrival, but the drove by at such a fast speed we barely caught a glimpse.

Chiang Mai is a great respite from Bangkok, Pattaya, or Phuket. So a great night life, but also can be quiet and peaceful away from the main spots. It's hot, so be prepared for heat, but the food is amazing, the people are friendly, and low prices.

Chiang Mai is a refreshing change from Bangkok. It has everything you need, but it is much less crowded and noisy than Bangkok. It is also very walkable to visit the main attractions in the city. Also the food is Northern Style, and very good.

It's casual and relaxed, but there are dozens of things to do and see. The Wats were fascinating, but so was the huge Sunday Market, and the live music everywhere. Just outside the city the elephant sanctuaries and mountain retreats were lovely!

We loved Chiang Mai, it was a refreshing change from the business of Bangkok. We did lots of walking around and sightseeing. We hired a taxi Chai to take us to the temple on the mountain and a tuk tuk driver Nan to take us around the city!

We spent 5 nights in Chiang Mai and really recommend the market in the old town, Doi Inthanon and Suthep, Nimman neighbourhood and doing a cooking class at Zaab E Lee in the most breathtaking spot in the jungle 🎋

Was a much bigger city than we expected. Plenty to see and do. River cruise was good and recommended. If at a quiet time, Tuk Tuk trips around the city are good and we paid 50B per hour which was an excellent rate.

If you go solo, use grab bike, as it's the fastest and cheapest way to move around. So many temples to see in the mountains and around the city. Food market at the South gate gives you plenty to choose from.
"Fabulous hotel with good restaurants, friendly and happy staff, good amenities, gym, pool, bars. Nice location, comfortable beds. Stayed 7 days, but extended two more."
"Exceptional service from everyone. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the soaker tub. Phenomenal spa! Enjoyed a massage, facial and body scrub, it was heavenly. Great pool although i wish there was a deeper end, it was same height all over. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. "
