Lai Thai Guest House

Sadly, a bit dingy and dark indeed - 20th January, 2009
Room was dark and dingy, and there was a very strong bug spray smell in and around the room each afternoon. Was also very noisy, lots of late night party folks. Pool was quite good, but I would recommend the Top North Hotel, it is MUCH cleaner, brighter, and quieter, and was about 40B cheaper for a double air-con room. Lai Thai really needs to spiff things up, was a much nicer guest house three years ago.

Dark and dirty rooms. - 11th March, 2005
Same price as the bright rooms at the Top North Hotel gets you a dreary filthy room with the always wet toilet in the shower. Antique air-con, but you get a fridge. Service in the cafe is terrible too.

Good place - Great staff - 23rd November, 2006
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The staff was fun. Particularly the wait staff in the cafe. Food was very good and reasonably price. Rooms clean and well kept.

An old guesthouse - 7th August, 2006
The Lai Thai's rooms are small, quite noisy and old but clean. The pool seems ok but we did not test it. We checked out after the trek for the Chiang Mai Thai House which is a much better alternative.

Comfortable and clean - 14th November, 2005
Maybe Lai Thai have been cleaning things up, because I stayed here in October 2005 and found no evidence of the dark dirty rooms that others have mentioned. I stayed in 2 rooms (moved once after extending my booking), both had polished teak floors, white walls, traditional art/decorations, beautiful carved beds, adequate bathrooms, working tvs, fridge, table and chairs, and looked out over the pool area. It was quiet, and easy walking distance to everywhere. The pool was a great luxury at the end of a long hot day. The restaurant is pretty average, but there are so many other options close by that this really isn't an issue. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay here again.
