The room was excellent, fresh and very clean. Breakfast options were abundant. This is a resort, with location outside the hum of the city, but easy enough to catch a ride.

Chiang Rai has a relaxed atmosphere. Shopping is good value and not pressurized. It has wonderful artistic, historical, and cultural attractions. It is also a centre for trekking to see hilltribes.

I met a few NGOs and the amount of NGOs that are locally run and who work together to make other people's lives better is incredible to see. The local markets and massage places in town were good to visit/experience also.
