Good hotel in the heart of Chiang Rai
"Tbh it didn't seem too impressive at first view but the room had most of what we needed ( but no safe!!) and the bed and the pool were very good, probably the best of our holiday. The buffet breakfast was very good though and the outside location was excellent. Good location."
