Hi, could I draw upon your combined experience and knowledge to give recommendations on decent guest houses to stay in (B400-B1000 range). I'd prefer to be in the heart of Chiang Mai, so nearish to Tapae gate. I'll be hiring a motorbike so if there is a particularly excellent one a little further a field I don't mind. My first thought was Gap's but as I've stayed there before, I thought I'd see if were any as good or better near by?

I'll be coming next month (so October) I doubt the place will be that busy then as it's a little early for the tourist season.

I do realise this topic has been covered before but the last thread is over two years old.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

how long you plan to stay? If you plan to saty longer, with a 400 - 1000 THB you maybe better to rent a condo!?

Sorry can't remember the name but there is a hotel right there at Tapae gate. It is on the outside of the moat and has a McDonald's on the lower floor.

you forgot to edit your spelling

If you're looking for a small guest house, family run, near Thae Pae gate, then I'd recommend Elegant Lanna. I've stayed there 6 times in the past few years, and it's a nice little place. Light breakfast included. Avoid level 4 as it's warmish there.

It's cheaper by the week, or month, quiet, no discos or karaoke, 5mins walk to The Gate and lots of nice little eating places in the lanes nearby or cross the wooden bridge to the 'old city'.

You'd need to book early, as some guests are almost permanent lodgers!
