villagefarang Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Not sure what you are asking. It is a well known high end resort and they are located in Chiang Rai, near the Golden Triangle area. Are you doubting their existence? I am sure a quick Google will give you more information. Try this link. Edited October 7, 2013 by villagefarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things have been relegated to the history books. We are quite civilized up here. Shopping mall, golf courses, football clubs, nice hotels and resorts. Come see for yourself.

villagefarang Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Seriously how is the golden triangle like nowadays? Seriously, you are more apt to get run over by a bus full of Chinese tourists than to bump into a drug lord. You seem to be thinking 35 − 40 years ago. These are modern times, seriously.

villagefarang Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Hardly, but you always bring us a colorful and different perspective on life.

sceadugenga Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Well, we'd all be outraged at anyone trying to promote their commercial ventures boomer... lol Seriously if I wanted to see a bit of the old drug lord country I'd hire a car and head up to the former Kuomintang towns in the mountains, all the Chinese signs, still interesting markets and the top food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Once or twice in the past, when I've made a benign mention of something, like Asia's largest swing being in Chiang Rai, you'd think I was committing Lese Majeste - I get shot down like a cricket in a terrorist den in Afghanistan that's just been droned.

snake24 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 the OP sounds like its touting a commercial venue. You're wrong. Honestly i just searched and it's rated number 1 on TA in chiang saen possibly all of chiang rai. I also saw the prices and it's like what freaking 2000 and upwards a night this place doesn't need promotion if they charge that high they probably have tons of guests staying there and and i doubt i would stay there.

snake24 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Seriously what sort of prices are those it's around 2.1k USD per night. That's like what maybe around 50-60k thai per night. This has to be a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be swimming in cash probably could easily afford a month's stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll also find hotels in CM for 50,000 baht a nigh up and ones for 200 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
