Before going to Chiang May, it would be nice to decide that you still want to rest. Calm and pacification or still sleepy rhythm is contraindicated. If you choose the second, of course it makes sense to stop in the old town. He fascinates. These are old houses, many architectural monuments, vintage bridges and many-many temples. But not only many temples. As many cafes, shops and other charming of civilization. And all this on a piece of land the size of no more than three hectares. Imagine what is the rhythm of life? Great place for a young couple or company, but here as a family holiday, I somehow vaguely imagine it. Although I saw a lot of couples with small children, which it suits. Options for settlement in the old town a lot. Many options to stay and outside the Old Town. The choice is offered: Condo (so here are called condominiums), hotels, guesthouses and even full-fledged apartments. It all depends on the thickness of the wallet and preferences. The condo seemed to me a pretty option, it's something like hotels, but here are only rooms made in the style of a la studio with a kitchen. Nevertheless, sometimes it's nice to cook coffee in the morning, and you can cook something for a child if Thai cuisine does not have to do.
Here is a small list of condominiums most popular in Chiang:
- P & S Mansion 2 . The newly built Condiminium, located at Huay Kaew Road, house 213.
Beautiful finish inside, convenient location, but the minus is that for rent surrendered at least 3 months, and the price is clearly overestimated. The most simple apartments begin with the price of 15-16 thousand baht per month. In P & S Mansion 1, which is located nearby, prices down, but also as they say, the pipe is lower, and smoke is likely. Not so much attractive as in new buildings.
- Noppakao Place. . Pretty pretty guest house on Changpuak Road, house 3.
Good two-bedroom suites for the price of 15 thousand baht, and most importantly, there are no restrictions on rental time, but now minus, too small kitchens, it's rather even bar racks, not a kitchen.
- Flora House. . Located at Moo1 Tambon Changpuak, house 35.
In my opinion, the best option from all seen. Large two-room rooms with a large kitchen, a large balcony, relatively quiet place. There is a quiet and cozy courtyard, where you can relax in the evening. But not only I believe that he is one of the best, and also a large number of other holidaymakers. Places should be booked in advance, otherwise you will not get here. But this is not a problem, everything can be reserved in advance and without any problems through their website on the Internet. By the way, the price of all this magnificence starts with 9 thousand baht. I wonder if it is not true?
Condo options in Chiang Mae still a lot and all of them are not described here. So it makes sense to talk about other accommodation options. For example, about hotels in the usual understanding. They are not as popular as guest houses, but nevertheless, some prefer them.
- The Chedi Chiang Mai 5 stars.
According to many, this is the best hotel in Chiang May. Large clean rooms overlooking the river, magnificent 24-hour service, convenient location. Private pool. Food, though, only breakfast, but in Thailand, it has a minimum value. In the peak seasons, the hotel is almost always filled, so if you chose it, then you should be posed for booking numbers in advance.
- Rimping Village 4 stars.
A small cozy hotel located within walking distance from Charoenmueng Quarter, which is known for its stormy nightlife. Your pool, well-kept rooms, free Wi-Fi. Previously, there was free bike rental, as I do not know.
Apartments or commercial villages.
This type of real estate for tourists appeared in Chiang Ma relatively recently, but he very quickly began to enjoy great popularity. In fact, a commercial village is a few completely identical small cottages located on a developed territory with a shared pool, a gym and children's playgrounds. They are mainly on the outskirts or outside the city, but it's even for the better. What was an understanding what it is, it makes sense to describe one of them, it is the village of Mu Ban in the area of Wat Umbre, which is considered elite (prices are higher, but comfort is significantly higher).
Mu ban.
The village is actually surrounded by the forest, there is no large number of prying eyes, a convenient infrastructure and there are no problems with transport accessibility. The whole territory is a large well-kept garden. There is a gym and sea water pool. Prices are bit bitty (from 20 thousand baht), but comfort can not be cheap.
P.S. Yes, many will not be very clear. At the moment, 100 baht, it is about 105 rubles. Compare how prices are said with Moscow ...
