Amazing hospitality and sharing by Suwannee. my first time joining a cooking class, and i must say i was impressed! couldn’t have asked for a better experience. highly recommend to anyone who wants an insight into the local cuisine and daily life of the locals in Chiangrai. we even got to sample some of the local snacks and fruit at the market along the way as we shopped for our produce that we would be cooking. Even got to tour her home garden which has an amazing collection of plants, including succulents! touched by the warmth and generosity of Suwannee’s sharing.

An amazing experience in Chiang Rai and a perfect way to discover the north of Thailand. Visiting the White Temple, Blue Temple, Baan Dam, and the Golden Triangle made for a very complete day, with a great mix of art, culture, history, and beautiful landscapes. A special thank you to my guide, Sammy, who was excellent throughout the entire experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive, taking the time to explain each place and making the whole day feel relaxed and personal. A memorable day in northern Thailand and a wonderful way to end my visit to Chiang Rai. Highly recommended!

Great 4.0
Great location, but there are a lot of birds at night, so you need to watch out for bird droppings if you walk outside. The breakfast tastes good. The room is nice, but water splashes out during a shower, making the floor wet because the glass partition only covers half of the shower area. There is a cozy coffee shop on the hotel premises where you can relax.

Great 4.0
Overall, it is satisfactory. The location is fantastic, which explains everything. There is parking space for about 4 to 5 cars, and it also looks possible to park on the nearby streets. There is a separate gym facility available for use, which was quite nice.

Great 4.0
The hotel is starting to look a bit old and dark, but the location and price are good. It is a great choice for sightseeing trips where you just need a place to sleep, rather than spending whole days at the hotel or using it as a workspace. It is close to restaurants and 7-Eleven, with Thai barbecue (Mu Kratha) places all around. It would also be ideal if you want to drink and go straight to bed.
