Serviced Apartments In Chiang Rai

[greasymouse]

I may be coming to livew in Chiang Rai soon as me and the wife are a little tired of Chiang Mai. Are there any nice, quiet serviced apartments in the 8 - 15 thousand Baht range? Internet in the room is vital.

I don't mean to be negative but CMai has a LOT more to offer than does CRai. CRai does have less traffic and it's generally quiet....except for the roosters and dogs at night. (I never knew roosters crow 24 hours per day but I have now learned!)

CRai Condotel does not have internet or kitchens. The Chat House has good internet and a small full service restaurant on premises. That's all the info I know. Internet in the room is very, very rare. I can recommend Siam Corner for excellent, super reasonable food on Jetyrod and the computer shop next door is first class.

CRai is very, very quiet.....a great place probably to raise a family., recover from stress, ride bikes of any kind, etc. The shopping is dismal. You have to know where to go for a particular item if The Big C doesn't carry it. The people are friendly and helpful. I've been welcomed in the warmest way. However, to shop or for good food or a variety of food, you will have to visit CMai.

I will probably be blasted for these comments but I am offering my honest thoughts.

You shouldnt have painted my CR like a no where land. Even if this province dont have much but we are proud of what we have. CR is not fancy, no shopping malls like the big towns. I dont want my CR to be like CM. Sorry i think its fine like it is. Maybe we need better schools and more cool activities to do but am happy with CR. And the O.P already live in CM if he want to move i dont think that an undelvolped province wil scares him away.

Sorry to say this but over 3 years CR will be different then now if the bridge at Chiang Khong - Huay Sai finish.

I only hope CR dont become like CM.

Back to the question. Wouldnt have it be better if you rent a house instead? With your budjet i think rent a house will give you more space.

Hi,

The whole idea behind going to CR is the quiet life. I prefer serviced apartments due to the fact we have to move around a lot at short notice.
