Posted by Howie’s HomeStay on July 12th, 2016

The most culturally significant and largest city of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai received over 14 million visitors in 2013. The peaceful city is laid-back, especially when you compare it to busy Bangkok. Chiang Mai is an excellent place to unwind and relax and also learn more about the history and culture of Thailand. You can find amazing temples, museums, and natural attractions in and around the area. Among the most popular attractions in Chiang Mai are their elephant sanctuaries.

A daytrip is not enough if you really want to see Chiang Mai. It’s best to stay at least three nights in this wonderful city. You can go in by bus, train, car, or even a plane as the city has its own airport. A wide range of accommodation options are also available in Chiang Mai for all budgets and requirements.

Whether you are a solo traveler, with a huge group, or with your significant other—and whether you’re on a budget or looking to splurge—there will always be a good place for you to stay in the city. When choosing your accommodation, consider your needs and preferences. The best places to stay in Chiang Mai offer you the very best of the city, from a comfortable bed to delicious food to fantastic tourist services. But with so many options to choose from, which one is the best choice? Here are some things you need to check when looking for a place to stay in Chiang Mai:

•Privacy and security – The very best places to stay in Chiang Mai are situated in quiet and safe villages, far from the noise yet still providing quick access to the city center.

•Ambiance – Being in Chiang Mai is like being in a tropical paradise, and you want to stay in a place that makes you feel exactly that. Some of the best accommodation options here are boutique hotels that provide a relaxing authentic Thai ambiance.

•Individual and focused attention – The best boutique hotels in Chiang Mai take service to the next level by ensuring personalized attention. Do you want a massage at a specific time? Do you want to take your breakfast very early (or late) in the day? They will adjust to your pace—not the other way around. You can also get an entire villa to yourself, so you can enjoy complete privacy.
