Thailand
Pros: * Amazing staff: The host, her sister, and her mother were all friendly and very helpful. They're eager to recommend great places to visit all over Chiang Rai and they take great care to make sure you have a comfortable stay * Great location: It's walking distance from the Central Plaza, 5 minutes away from the night bazaar and clock tower by bike, and conveniently nearby enough to most of the well known temples. We honestly don't have anything negative to say about our stay. It was fantastic and we would probably stay here again if we ever get a chance to come back to Chiang Rai.

Books games available and drinks food to order for good local price. Overall very recommended 🫶🤝✌️🌹🚲
