Good Hotel/guesthouse Close To Night Market

[duan]

I live in Hua Hin and last visited Chiang Mai 6 years ago when on the advice of the Thai Visa forum I stayed at the Royal Princess which was fine. From a search it would cost me about 2500-3000 to stay there in January 2013 which is more than I want to pay.

I would be very grateful for any advice on a good clean and safe hotel/guest house in the same area at about 1500.

Many thanks in advance.

There are dozens of good guest houses in that area for 250 - 500 baht. A really swanky guest house room might cost you 800 baht. You'd be hard pushed to find a "guest house" in Chiang Mai for as much as 1,500 baht! For that price, you should expect an excellent standard of hotel room. The best way to do it is just to arrive and walk down the street and see the rooms. Then you know exactly what you're getting and in less than half an hour you can have the perfect room for you at a small price.
