Chiang Mai Thai House
Our room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The pool, next to a shady lounge area, was a great way to cool off after a day of walking. The staff were kind, helpful and generous to us the whole time. We enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again.

Excellent. Friendly without being too obsequious. Clean, modern, well curated and decorated. Near night market and other must see sites. I hesitated writing this review as I don’t want too many people finding out and ruining it.
