Nice Place to stay in Chiang Rai
SuMali and her husband Tim run a very nice, comfortable hotel in the far north of Thailand, where it is hard to find comfortable and affordable accomadations for foreigners and Thai people. The hotel is off Highway 1 a few short blocks away from town, so it is close to the night bazaar but quiet. The rooms were quite comfortable, and important if you don't know Thailand well, the bed was comfortable and not as hard as the floor, as most are in the far north. There are lots of TV channels if you stay in your room, but we don't. The breakfast is served in a small restaurant area, but it was a very good spread for a smaller hotel. Good farang food-croissants, eggs made to order, potatoes, and good food for Thai people too with some food I haven't seen served in hotels before. My Thai partner thought it was very delicious. Lastly, the service is very good. Friendly, helpful and efficient people with good English. The Palm Garden was a delightful surprise after a long day sightseeing.
