About the Saijai Café & Hostel

Hidden away on Thanalai Road in the heart of Chiang Rai's Wiang district, Saijai Cafe & Hostel offers a welcoming combination of accommodation and café culture in a compact, centrally located setting. Its central location allows guests easy access to Chiang Rai's main attractions, including the Clock Tower and the city's famous night markets, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.

The property serves as both accommodation and a café, offering guests the added convenience of relaxing, enjoying a drink, or starting their day in a leisurely manner without having to travel far. The combination of these two functions creates a convivial and relaxed atmosphere, particularly appealing to independent travelers and those who prefer a comfortable, unobtrusive stay to the amenities of a large hotel.

    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.

    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.
