A Gem
My stay at The Parasol Inn left nothing to be desired. It is located in the center of Chiang Mai's old town on the same block as two major temples (Wat Phan Tao and Wat Chedi Luang), which I could see right out of my window! I woke up every day to sunshine and the soft sound of temple chimes in the wind. The hotel walls are painted in cheerful colors and motifs that make you really feel like you're on vacation in an exotic place.
Everything is in walking distance to the hotel, which is very convenient.
The staff have warm personalities. They helped me book out-of-town treks and cooking courses and happily gave me directions to anywhere else I wanted to go. They seem genuinely eager to help guests, no matter what the hour or the request.
I would definitely stay at The Parasol Inn again!
