Thank you so much Bim! You really love what you do and thank you for all the awesome information. She also takes very nice photos and the tour went smoothly. Chiang Mai City is indeed a big museum and not just only a historical landmark. Highly recommended! Please book Bim as your guide.

The room is large and clean, the TV has YouTube, the sound of airplanes taking off and landing is acceptable, breakfast and gym are on the top floor of T3 and T1, there are no corridors between buildings, you have to walk outside. Free shuttle to Maya Department Store (round trip at 9:00 pm). The check-in staff is a bit stinky, you have to go to the T2 lobby first and then to T7 (staying in T6), but there are golf carts to pick you up, so you don't have to carry your luggage yourself.

The soundproofing is not very good, the sound of slippers walking is noisy and the guests outside are talking loudly, but the massage master's technique is good and the service attitude is also great!

The room is large and has a long sofa. The bathroom is not small either. The two single beds can be put together. The TV is very new. The hotel is also very new. I stayed on the second floor of T6. The sound of airplanes was not very obvious, but I had to go to T3 for breakfast. The gym and swimming pool had to go from T2 to the back and go to the next door T1. There may not be passages between buildings, so I had to walk on the outside road. It can be connected to Maya Department Store (round trip) for free. 7-11 is a little far away, so it is best to buy something and then go back to the hotel.
