    We had a wonderful four-night stay at the Chiang Mai Kiri Hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. The hotel is fantastically located in the old city, making many temples, cafes, and attractions easily accessible on foot. There are also other, livelier areas in Chiang Mai, so we occasionally used taxis, but getting around was easy and comfortable. Breakfast is not included in the standard rate but can be added for 250 baht per person – and it's absolutely worth it. Breakfast offered excellent value for money. You order à la carte and can choose as many dishes as you like for that price, with a very wide selection. We didn't find it expensive at all considering the quality and quantity of the food. The reception staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It was also nice to have a pool to cool off in. The only slight drawback is that most of the sun loungers are in the shade, and there are only about six of them, so finding one can be difficult during the hottest and busiest times. If you're specifically looking for a hotel where you can relax by the pool in the sun all day, this might not be the ideal choice. Overall, however, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.

    We had a wonderful three-night stay at the KIRI Hotel. The location is fantastic – just steps from the night market and popular restaurants and bars. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and modern (the only downside: there was hardly any storage space, but we managed just fine out of our suitcases!). Highly recommended! ⭐️

    I was absolutely thrilled with this accommodation. It was spotlessly clean and modern. The room was fantastic and the staff very friendly. The location was simply perfect (10/10). We could easily reach everything on foot, and the Sunday market, restaurants, cafes, and bars were all very close by. Don't hesitate to book this accommodation!

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.

    Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
