January 26, 201412 yr i am planing to spend 6-7 nights in Chiang Mai in the 1st or 2nd week of April2014. i would love to get double room in clean budget hotel, or cheap gueshouse & apartment near Old city, or night Bazaar,..if anybody can get me some suggestions and recomandation.
January 26, 201412 yr Friends stayed in La Mer off soi 6 Moon Muang (old city) last week-cheap;big rooms-they liked it. Looking for budget rooms for someone else and came across Villa Oranje (off Saturday Walking Street-Wua Lai)-Dutch owners, also cheap place. Check websites/Asiarooms for both. Good luck-you will have no probs finding somewhere at that time '
January 26, 201412 yr I stayed at the Britannia, in the Old City, Moon Muang Soi 9. I chose the largest "executive double" room and paid about 800 baht/night. Recommended.
January 26, 201412 yr You mean just one room right? Or are you looking for something with two bedrooms, or connecting bedrooms? If just a single room (for two people) then just go on Tripadvisor and browse. 6-7 nights isn't usually considered long term enough to warrant a special rate, though you can always try for a discount of course. One thing though: FIrst week of April versus second week of April makes a HUGE difference, because of Songkran, the Thai New Year holiday. This is the major holiday of the year and kicks off on the 12th and lasts until (and including) the 15th. Several places may charge more during those days, especially mid-range places where Thai tourists might stay. So before doing anything else, you will want to decide if you want to do Songkran in Chiang Mai, or some place else. I personally love it, and if you like that sort of thing then few places are better than Chiang Mai. If you want to avoid it however then the holiday is much shorter in the South. (Just the 13th basically for the water fest, though if is still the national holiday period so again prices may be higher and availability may be less).

January 26, 201412 yr and i hope that hotel , apartment,..or guesthouse have no problem with visitors to my room.It might depend on who the visitors are, couldn't you be more specific?
January 26, 201412 yr Try the Immotel on Taipai Gate. Might get it for 800 baht. Clean, new, comfortable with wifi. Crap breakfast so try for room only and get noodles outside or a mcmuffin if you love fast food
January 27, 201412 yr my budget around 400 - 700 BHT per night for double room,.. i hope to get free wi fi internet in the room,. At 400 you're in guesthouse territory, OR far away from the city center. Guesthouses are less likely to be okay with you making local friends and inviting them over. At 700 that's cheap hotel territory; much more tolerant to guests. Say, places like the Bautong Lodge. At the lower end, perhaps something like Chiang Mai Kristi House (about 300 for a double I think). (i.e. a guesthouse that has a bit of a local apartment feel.) Didn't used to have an issue with guests, not sure if that changed or not. Good location too.
January 27, 201412 yr Try this place its nice clean and not far from Thaphe gate Ban nam sai 12 Soi5 Moonmuang Rd. Sripoom T. Muang Chiangmai 50200 Tel.053-326653 http://bannamsai.blogspot.com/
January 27, 201412 yr Thailand Guest House, Moon Muang Soi 2. No frills no thrills! Cheap, clean and great location.
