I stayed at Top North Guesthose in December 06. Low standard and little old. But cheap and close to the Temples, Night Bazaar and Nightlife

Chiang Mai : Top North Guest House

Simbo · #5 15-05-2007, 00:23

Top north hotel around the corner is a bit better quality. plenty of other good quality guest houses in the same area as TN though.

i stayed at the porn ping a few years ago. but next time will be staying at a GH. many many good ones. i believe one i looked at was called lai thai. something like that. with a swimming pool as well. porn ping was convenient with the disco a few meters a way.

Be aware of the guesthouses in Chiang Mai.There are a lot of scams. worst of all Thailand.

Never leave your creditcard in the hotel safe, even when trekking for a few days. They will get it out, do some shopping, the....put it back before you arrive! You don't know about anything, don't fill in a complaint and you get the bill when you get home.

I was smart enough I thought, because I knew this trick, but they came at night in the room to robe me. D'ont know the name of this guesthouse, but it was not far from the old wall, next to the canal.

Now when I go back I am looking for a hotel with a view on the river, to watch the festivities.

Lai Thai is very nice, far better than Top North and only approx 500mfurther fm Lo Kroh Road along the moat. Check out Lai Thai Guesthouse & Hotel, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Solid wood floors and very Thai inside, far nicer than concrete.

looks good ,may have to check it out next time,great location,price looks good and has swimming pool.......i stay in a hotel not far from there at all...Rux thai ,loh kroh 1....around 600 b....no pool......so laithai seems a good deal.

midnightsun1 · #15 18-05-2007, 09:46

did not stay at the lai thai but looked at the rooms and talked to some of farangs there. was impressed and will stay there when i go to CM again. the staff was very polite when showing me around.

Pinot · #16 21-05-2007, 10:15

I just stayed a couple of days in the Montri Hotel. 750 baht. It was fine. Chiang Mai was dead, though. Very little talent around. Couldn't wait to get to Phuket.

Back in the saddle.

thai-babe · #17 21-05-2007, 12:10

Lai Thai Guesthouse look very nice for the price and I will probably stay there next time I'm in CM.

t0rn · #18 22-05-2007, 00:58

Lai Thai IS good but it's a budget place and IMO the website makes it look nicer than it actually is.

I stayed at the Tamarind Village pretty much bang in the middle of Chaing Mai... a strange but comfortable little place and quite inexpensive. No room service to speak of but very attentive cleaning staff... The receptionist wasn't bad either. Just as well really because apart from the Porn Ping Tower the bars and so on all seemed rather lame compared to Patong.. But the temples and views were fabulous.

Hey Mac,

Tamarind village is a little more expensive to stay than Manathai Village (about 3000k baht per night) and I think the poster wants to keep it below or at 1000baht.

Cheers!

I booked here for 4 nights in July, saves me about 1000 baht a night since I originally booked at The Ramin Lodge... and they dont even have pool...

THIS IS THE PLACE WE WERE ROBBED!

For those wanting to stay there, because for the rest is good price/quality....

Read allready the above! Never, ever leave your creditcard in the safe of the hotel! Also, if you have a lot of cash, be aware. We KNOW how we were robbed, so I am not kidding here! You will notice, that at the reception, many times, there are some Thai guys hanging around. They are watching the customers, what they carry, where they put their wallet, which bag etc.

A lot op people do TREKKING. That means they stay away at least two days.The personel of the hotel, cannot be trusted!!! Like said above, they have ways to open your safe. But if there is money, it is impossible to steal, because you would notice, it is gone. So when they see there are valuables, they will tip those guys. When you come back you are tired, you sleep very profound. Then they will not give you such a nice room by the pool, but remoted. There it is easier, to get in your room while you are sleeping, and take the bag, they saw you put your belongings in, when you came back. In our room, they just took only that bag, and no other!

Don't think I am parranoia. Lock your door the best way you can, we heard from a police-officer, it happens all the time there, but a lot of people do not press charges, because everything is stolen, and then the customer cannot pay his bill of the hotel, so they keep a low profile!

Good Point. But here is a funny thing. When we stayed at the Tamarind it cost about 10,000 for 12 nights.. I spoke to Noi about your message and she told me that when she booked it she said we were on Honeymoon! I did wonder what the chocolate cake and candles in the room was all about!

Seriously I never really know how much the Hotels are we book. The Marriott Riverside seem happy to give us a Junior Suite for 5,000 baht a night and last time they assumed we were on Honeymoon again (although we did not tell them) and gave us three nights free..

The moral.. ask your wonderful Fiance to book your room! In your case the Honeymoon scam will be legitimate!! I have a feeling my next one might be too..

Best as always
