Eastern Chiang Mai

This section stretches from the banks of the Ping river, through the night bazaar area and the maze of narrow alleys off to the east of Tha Pae. There are still a lot fewer accommodation sites than on the inside of the moat so the sois retain a more local Thai feel. There are some excellent choices in every range to be found in this district, but it is getting very popular so rooms can be hard to come by during busy periods, though plenty of new places are currently under construction.

Old city: Northeast

East of Phrapokklao Road and north of Ratchadamnoen is Chiang Mai's traditional tourist accommodation heartland, the Tha Pae area and the maze of narrow alleys or sois off Moonmuang Road, behind Somphet market. Formerly this area was almost uniquely populated with low budget guesthouses but now you'll find a wider range through to flashpacker and up to a couple of midrange Lanna-style spots, some of which are excellent choices. Some of the longstanding and better known spots can get very busy in high season and some clearly appear to rest on their laurels somewhat. Yes, there are some great deals but be warned service may not always be the most welcoming in Chiang Mai here.

    The Rim Resort

    Very swish but some great deals

    51/2 Arak Rd, Phra Singh
    T: (053) 903 999; F: (053) 903 998

    Recently opened, this upmarket Lanna-style hotel is a welcome addition to this now somewhat crowded category by virtue of some great deals offered. It doesn't have quite the museum feel of ... Read the full review of The Rim Resort.

    T: (053) 814 011; F: (053) 814 015

    Parasol Inn doesn't look much from outside and you could almost miss the small entrance but it holds a few surprises inside. Firstly, though the street level reception is pretty tiny, the inside is ... Read the full review of Parasol Inn.

    Deejai Backpackers

    Worth seeking out

    193/1-2 Ratchamanka Rd, Phra Singh
    T: (053) 814 777;

    Deejai Backpackers is slightly out of the way, within the old town though not in the regular guesthouse area, but it's well worth seeking out and has a good location nonetheless. Located in Upper ... Read the full review of Deejai Backpackers.

    Green Tulip House

    Good low season deal

    18 Samlan Rd
    T: (053) 278 367;

    Green Tulip is green… yellow, orange, red and every other colour you might think of, but at least they've made an effort with the decoration and the place is bright, if not to everyone's taste. The ... Read the full review of Green Tulip House.

South Chiang Mai

South of the moat, towards the eastern south-facing Chiang Mai Gate (Haiya district), is not a traditional tourist accommodation area but there are a few spots worth mentioning and the area just across from the Gate with the Wualai Saturday walking market is certainly upcoming with new cafes, bars and restaurants opening. Off Suriwong Road and close to the moat is another mazy area of cute narrow sois with a few guesthouse options. All in all this is not a bad, non-touristy part of town to stay in and it\'s still within walking district of most of the action anyway. Expect more guesthouses to spring up in this part of town.

    Stunning!

    156 Wualai Rd, Haiya
    T: (053) 273 174; F: (053) 273 137

    This is one of the best looking spots we've visited in any district of Chiang Mai, a bit tucked away down Wualai — Saturday walking street — but well worth the effort to find. Wualai Road access is ... Read the full review of Tri Yaan Na Ros.

    Chiang Mai Gate Hotel

    Excellent midrange option

    11/10 Suriyawong Rd, Haiya
    T: (053) 203 899; F: (053) 279 085

    A popular midrange hotel, the Chiang Mai Gate manages to give a small and friendly impression despite having more than 120 rooms. It is slightly out of the way but a two-minute tuk tuk ride or ... Read the full review of Chiang Mai Gate Hotel.

West Chiang Mai

This is the Suan Dok side of Chiang Mai, encompassing Suthep district lying between the old city and Doi Suthep itself.

    Ayatana Resort

    Pick of the Lanna-style resorts

    99/19 Moo 14 Suthep Road, Suthep
    T: (053) 811 388;

    Some way out of the centre — down a winding wooded lane at the foot of Doi Suthep — so we can only guess that the excellent rates Ayatana offer are to compensate for tuk tuk fees getting in and out ... Read the full review of Ayatana Resort.
