Aksara is in a great location to explore Chiang Mai. Even though it is in the middle of town, it has a lovely relaxed and quiet ambiance.. the monks chanting from the temple next door are an added bonus. The staff are wonderful, welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast is varied with plenty of options both continental and local. The rooms are gorgeous with a great shower, and the pool is nice and refreshing after a long day of exploring. Definitely recommend, we were sad to leave!

The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to celebrate the festival with guests by preparing a flower Kratong for each room, allowing everyone to enjoy the festivities together. The breakfast was excellent, with a different menu each day. Complimentary water and snacks were readily available in the hotel. The hotel had a low occupancy, making it very quiet. Most importantly, the shower was powerful and temperature of the shower was stable. Overall a very good impression towards the hotel.

Since this is our second time, we decided to try the smaller studio instead of the 1-BR residence. The size of the studio is perfect - about the size of an average Asian hotel room. It’s simply furnished and comfortable. We loved that it is slightly further away from the hotel side so it’s generally quieter but just a hop from the breakfast and dinner restaurants. The restaurant staff are amazing as usual, especially the ones having to deal with mad hungry crowds at breakfast. The dinner restaurant staff, esp the male team leader who speaks well, was amazing and energetic - helping my husband navigate his allergies and dietary restrictions.

This small hotel feels like home in a big, beautiful garden. The room was very spacious, with a big covered terrace with magnificent views. The bathroom was very clean. We enjoyed the infinity pool at the sunset. There are many cozy corners where you can rest, read, have a drink… all is very beautifully designed and stylish. We also enjoyed the dinners at a pond or on a portico. The hotel organised great trips for us with a driver. The coffee plantations and coffee villages. The spa massages were very healing…. End everybody is soooo kind and smiling. We loved the place

Beautiful design of buildings and room with lots of nice details like a few leaf imprints in the floors, nicely-shaped water bottles etc. A wonderful bathroom with one whole front of folding doors that allow you to stand right in the forest while taking your shower. Pretty planters and quirky pottery items, and even a tree house. Beautiful gardens with a stream, massive trees and flowers everywhere which must be an arduous task to keep at all times. Lovely swimming pool. Very clean throughout, friendly staff and tasty, generous breakfast.

Location and ease of check-in. I was looking for a place that allows late check-in and most hotels limit till 8pm. My flight arrived Chiang Rai airport at 9 pm. I took the bus from the airport into the city, and walked 10 minutes to the hotel. I was allowed to check in late here. The room was small, clean and basic. It was good enough for my short stay.

Really lovely blend of city and country side

Really lovely blend of city and country side Lots to see and do Very cultural and diverse Lots of great coffee shops, food and sights Very temple heavy! Good luck fitting all 70 in the old city in! Easy enough to walk around or get a grab or songtow (shared taxi bus) 10-15 minutes from the airport Great overnight trip to Pai but the road is very bendy and may cause travel sickness but well worth it Smile organic cooking class is fantastic £20 pp, 3 courses, pick up and drop off. Main night market is hectic. All the same stuff at others, find a quieter spot!

Not a great selection of restaurants and not a beautiful city. The white and Blue temples are worth a visit, but the tour of the Golden Triangle is over hyped. It’s a full day tour filled with trivial things just to finally arrive at a view point to see Myanmar and Laos across the river. If staying in Chiang Mai, a trip to see the White and Blue temple with a return to Chiang Mai would be of greater value.

I love Pai and have visited many times. My favourite restaurants are Om Garden Cafe and Charlie and Lek's. I walked everywhere as I don't ride a scooter. Walking Street is always entertaining and I always feel safe. Best of all are the beautiful people of Pai who are friendly and gracious and always willing to help. For out of town tours, I used Pai Authentic Travel who are located next to Aya bus service on Walking Street. The Two Huts sunset tour and Pai Canyon are good short tours but they do many others further out of town.

This was my second visit to Sukhothai and this time I chose to stay in the old town which I really enjoyed. I felt like I was in the countryside, I could hear birds chirping and I could walk to all the temples and really get to know the area well. Of course you can ride a bicycle too. I stayed for two nights/two days and this was just right. Being there on Fri/Sat evening I thoroughly enjoyed eating at the local Thai food stalls and trying different food. The evenings deliciously warm and the locals all came out for a picnic around the lake. Sukhothai is such a highlight of Thailand, it is so unique and special and definitely worth the visit, and you'll want to go back.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Lhong Chiang Dao Glamping in Chiang Mai, and I can confidently say it was one of the most incredible hospitality experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the host and staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and comfortable. Every request we made was met with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, which made our stay even more special. The glamping site itself is immaculately maintained, with cleanliness being a top priority. Surrounded by the soothing sounds of a nearby waterfall 24/7, it truly felt like we were immersed in nature. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life and reconnect with the serene beauty of the outdoors. One of the most magical moments was at night—around 11 PM onwards, the sky came alive with countless stars, offering an awe-inspiring view you rarely get to experience in the city. If you’re looking for a solid glamping experience with unparalleled hospitality, breathtaking natural surroundings, and starry skies, Lhong Chiang Dao Glamping is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet enriching escape. Thank you to the entire team for making this a stay to remember!
