Spyder Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Any recommendations for hotel for a few days in CR? I haven’t been there before so best areas? thanks
Atticus Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 It has been more than 5 years since I was in CR but used to visit quite a lot from 2007 to 2016. At least three or four times I stayed at the Wiang Inn Hotel (not to be confused with the nearby Wangcome Hotel which is/was also fairly decent) very close to the Night Bazaar and bus station. Great location. I don't recall what I used to pay but you can certainly find a lot cheaper than this hotel. I quite like a bit of comfort so don't mind paying a bit more. The breakfasts were great. Naturally I cannot speak as to whether the hotel is operating normally, or at all, but here is a link to the website. http://www.wianginn.com It is a great little city. If you are there on a Saturday evening go to the Walking Street market which is a bit more relaxed than the one in Chiang Mai.
Glasseye Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Ramming Lodge - can't go wrong. In the upscale Nimman area - Sanae Hotel. Near Maya Mall and many other superb shopping choices. Fabulous area, and a lovely hotel. Great rooms, great price, great service, quiet. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sanae'+Hotel+Chiangmai/@18.8003437,98.9638369,17z/data=!4m12!1m2!2m1!1shotels!3m8!1s0x30da3a63aa644a2b:0xc6fd1453b0e7b74d!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d18.7992617!4d98.9658603!16s%2Fg%2F11b75g6cp2 Edited March 3, 2022 by Glasseye

SteveBC Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I used to stay here before when on my motorbike tours. A smallish hotel / resort. Spotlessly clean, crisp white bed linen, good price and located close to most everything including the night market and local bar scene. https://www.facebook.com/kanlayaplace.chiangrai/ Edited March 4, 2022 by SteveBC
Golfingboy Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I was only there one night in 2010 after missing the last bus to CM after the Mae Sai visa run- don’t miss those days. On the main road, the purple place above Sperm disco had rooms for 400 baht, and pretty clean. Even called me a masseuse from down the Soi, and I slept like a baby…. Edit: Not purple anymore, and probably more like 650 THB, breakfast inc. Edited March 4, 2022 by Golfingboy

Spyder Posted March 5, 2022 Author Posted March 5, 2022 Wiang inn is showing no availability for my dates, 16thApril for 4 nights. I’ve stayed at Ramming lodge but as mentioned is a bit of a hike…. Are hotels guest friendly in CR?

Be very shocked if any hotels in CR had issues with bringing a lady back to the room….. Then again, with all the lost revenue from COVID, it could lead to being creative in squeezing extra baht from the farang……and a joiner fee is not so crazy
Spyder Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 I managed to get in to the Wiang Inn after all. Thanks for the recommendation Atticus.
