Take a Far East adventure with Chiang Mai guest houses

Chiang Mai is a laid-back location with a Buddhist heritage that attracts tourists who want to escape the crowds of other destinations in Thailand. Centrally located, Chiang Mai guest houses make exploring the city and surrounding region easy, offering comfortable accommodation right in the heart of the city.

About Chiang Mai guest houses

Guest houses and hotels are plentiful and very affordable. They tend to be smaller and more boutique, but you’ll often have the added advantage of a small swimming pool or hot tub to relax in at the end of the day.

Many Chiang Mai guest houses offer free Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, and a range of sleeping options: from single rooms to twin rooms.

Shopping

Chiang Mai has some fantastic shopping opportunities. If you’re looking for local artisan and hand-made goods, head to the Night Bazaar for a unique evening shopping experience. Alternatively, stroll around the Walking Markets on Saturday and Sunday in the old Silversmithing District.

Eating

From street vendors selling regional delicacies to fine dining restaurants, you are sure to find something to suit your tastes and budget in Chiang Mai. Sample the street food from the vendors in Anusarn Market, grab a table at Suthep Road, or ask the staff at your Chiang Mai guest house for some recommendations on where to eat.

Tourist attractions

Chiang Mai is the cultural capital of the region and boasts a large number of Buddhist temples that have attracted visitors for centuries. Top of the list is Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, a stunning temple filled with golden statues and fabulous views of the city. Elephant sanctuaries are popular with tourists, too, but do your research first to make sure you’re visiting a well-run center with high welfare standards. For a touch of natural beauty, visit the Bua Tong Waterfalls, or book a trip to visit the local hill tribes.

Getting around

It is easy to explore Chiang Mai on foot or grab a ride in a Tuk-Tuk. Both public and private transport are very reasonably priced.

It is best to explore the wider region on guided tours, which are easy to arrange through your Chiang Mai guest house.
