It was time for lunch. When I arrived, I looked at the menu and ordered. While waiting for the food, the staff let me go for a walk and wait. I walked along the rice fields to see the houses, which had a great atmosphere. If I have the chance, I must stay here at least once. I didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive. I must say that the food was very delicious and the portions were large. 6. Suan Khun Pu (Life Museum) This is a coffee shop on a hill (the road is quite steep, cars can go up).

I sat down, ordered coffee, cake, and just sat there and enjoyed myself (really chilling). 7. Natsu Izakaya We arrived at our last meal of the day. The shop had a lot of food. The ones I ordered and liked the most were the grilled wagyu beef that the shop recommended. It was delicious and not tough. Another menu that I liked was the grilled shrimp with salt. 8. SMALLTOWN After dinner, Then find a place to chill nearby (you can walk from Natsu). This shop just opened. It has 2 floors and is air-conditioned. It is quite open, comfortable, and not crowded. For those who want to come and sit and talk, sip drinks, I recommend it. #cafe review #chiangrai #onedaytripchiangrai #chiangrai #chiangrai travel #new cafe #cafe life

I have stayed in over 10 hotels in Chiang Rai 4 and 5 stars Cons of this hotel Slightly out of the way if no car and no shuttle bus service into the Centre of town. Not walkable. They will call a taxi or Chuk Chuk As a car driver not a problem easy access to town center Quite near to Central Plaza and Bic C a bit of a walk dependent on fitness Water pressure not stable so take care as hot Restaurant menu (except breakfast) is limited Pros Very helpful staff, understanding and flexible as needed to book on daily basis waiting for the flood waters to recede. To note Hotel rate was sometimes cheaper than Trip.com!! Plenty of parking Rooms size good + Air con OK + clean. The hotel is not new, but the renovation work was of high standard All basic amities including toothbrush and slippers (no hair conditioner) + free bottled water daily TV channels limited has Discovery + news, no movies in English, children channel. 2 Chinese news channels Better than most local hotels Breakfast the best in all the 4-star hotels I have stayed in, menus are rotated food for all tastes, European, Chinese and Tai. Tea is not Lipton floating in a water jug but not tea bags and a pot. Coffee is OK

Wonderful place. But I still need to read the whole history of it. It’s very interesting
