Bakuteh Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Will be visiting Chiang Saen and surrounding area November 14. Having problems booking suitable accomodation. Anyone can suggest a clean hostel/hotel not costing more than B1,500 a room during that period? Anantara looks gorgeous but out of reach budget-wise and Riverview Inn seems to attract average ratings. Will be grateful for just any advice from anyone. Thanks.

hmj Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Rather look for a room in Chiang Saen town, about 8 km from the Triangle. Among the better ones and the longest running, is Chiang Saen River Hill Hotel. The link below gives prices and location. http://www.hoteltravel.com/thailand/chiang.../river_hill.htm The remark "Distance from airport: 40 minutes drive" is not correct, it should be more than one hour. There are some very nice bungalow resorts in Chiang Saen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I passed by two years ago, it looked such a nice cosy town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathip2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 2 Kms before Chiang Saen Town there's a nice hotel named "De River Boutique Resort". I've been there twice, really a nice place. All rooms have beautiful view on the Mekong River. Visit the Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgtr Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Chiang Saen is not that bad for accommodation. I usually stay at the Sanbonmar Resort 600+ baht a night. You could also try Golden Land, Angsuna Hotel 350 baht. Golden Land should be more expensive than the Sanboonmar. You could also consider the Golden Triangle where there are a stack of good guesthouses & resorts in the back sois, all probably around 500-1,000 baht price range. But November 14, that's Loy Krathong no? Could be tough to get something unless you have a confirmed booking. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klikster Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Not quite in Chiangsaen, and transportation required, but there is a neat guest house on Chiangsaen Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit late, but curious how did it go. Where did you end up staying - any feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I wish more of the people we try to help would give us some feedback, the forum is a two way operation and his/her experience could help the next person who comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exrockstar Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You should have tried Viang Yonok hotel at Chiang Saen Lake. 4 klms from the town. Rated #1 in Chiang Saen on Tripadvisor.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I think a web site with reviews would help. That way, people can share their experience. There are many travel sites that do this, but a local one would be nice.
