- Are you looking for the best hotels in Chiang Mai, Thailand? Chiang Mai hotels are plentiful. There are more than a thousand. But do you want style and interesting architecture, not a big cookie cutter place? We do, so we found the three best boutique hotels in Chiang Mai. We think the best hotel is really important to enjoy a city, and we want you to love our home city of Chiang Mai. Our Best Hotel Checklist was: 1) great style and beautiful architecture; 2) a cool pool to swim and lounge around; 3) a central Old City location; 4) delicious breakfast for two included; and 5) a good price. Our 2023 three top choices meet all that and more. Let us show you around and check out the grounds, the pool, the rooms, the restaurant and show you the food.
We will even give you specific room rates for the high season (we choose December 15-17, 2023, a weekend - as this is the prime of the Chiang Mai winter and when most people want to come). And also for the low season (we choose May 22-24, 2024, which is midweek, at the start of the rainy season - actually a good time to come as summer is just ending). We also show you how we found the best rates for each hotel. A tip is to reserve your room as far in advance as possible, preferably at least 2 months, to get the best rates. We did our rate searches on October 9, 2023.
Please leave your comments about your favorite (and least favorite) hotels in Chiang Mai! You may lead us to a new place and a new video, who knows?

Thanks for your great reviews of nice hotels. You both look very comfortable together. Congrats on your channel so far.
Thanks, Randy. We appreciate it. Yes, very comfortable together. She puts up with me. (:
Very nice!! I feel relaxed just watching!!!
Ah Jeanne, you are too nice! Thanks for the comment. I can just see you by one of those pools...
I really enjoyed the Terra Cota Arts Hotel when I was there. I don't remember having breakfast there. I always seem to fill up on street food at night and sleep in. I can't wait to get back to CM around Christmas.
Yes, a beautiful, artsy place. Christmas and December is a perfect time to come with the coolest weather.
Chaing Mai is on my bucket list for places still to visit in Thailand. Thanks for showing us.
Thanks so much, Dave. Hope you make it here soon.
Nice video, the hotels look excelent!
Thanks. We enjoyed hanging out at them for the videos, and two of them we knew from eating there before.
Another great video guys 😃👍
Happy too see some options for the smaller very nice hotels.
Brian, you win our thanks for being the first comment! Way to go! Yes, the smaller hotels are the best. See you soon.
@RetiredGlobalLife Joy & Randy . It's always Thank You from me 🙂🙏.
Your videos are always so informative. Great for the people looking to visit Chiang Mai or someone looking to move there like me. Already looking forward to the next one . Thanks Again !! For all the hard work to share your experiences in Chiang Mai and Thailand with all of us . 😃👌
good job - nice to see the nicer end of accommodation...
Our pleasure. They were fun places to visit. Higher end but still affordable. CM does have places that are 3-4 times as much, so there is a much higher end, but I don't think you get much more for your money.
Terrific review - once again, so informative and useful :)
Thanks! That's us... trying to be informative and legit. We will keep trying!
Well done. I enjoy your channel and will start with Vegan and health conscious first when we come.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the nice compliment. Yes, you will love the vegan Away Thapae Resort.
Joy you’re a gem. Well done and your guy ain’t bad either.
We both thank you!
Great video. I love chiang mai
Thanks! That makes two of us! Take care.
Nice 🎉
Thanks! We hope it is helpful to you in choosing a great and fun place to stay.
Nice🎉🎉

Thanks so much! We hope you come again. Best wishes.
Last time I visited Chiang Mai I stayed in a real budget hotel. It suited me at the time and they did a good job, but I see I need to raise my game a bit! Thanks for the peak inside some great places! Next time I visit, I'll book one of these places!
Yes, you deserve to splurge yourself! We welcome you back.
Love your videos! I’m solo visiting chiang Mai for new year and your videos have been sooo helpful. Gorgeous couple ❤
Bec you are so kind to say that. Thanks! Enjoy Chiang Mai. We may see you walking around. People say hi to us from all over the world. A very international city and they all seem to watch CZcams!
Now I have to go back to Chiang Mai and test these hotels, especially the first one. Last time, I stayed in two really different hotels, one very modern - BED Chiang Mai Gate - with an excellent breakfast and just near the Chiang Mai gate night market, the second one, very beautiful hotel - Amata Lanna - all in teak wood. Both were good experience, but I love being just near a street food market, that's how I feel the most that I'm in Thailand.
I just checked out photos of Amata Lanna, thanks. Cool looking place. Not too central though but not everyone wants that. Thanks for the input! Take care.
I'll be there on the 17th for 3 weeks. Staying at a place that's still pretty unique but a fraction of the cost. 17 bucks a night and during the high season 19 bucks. SK House I, I believe in the northeast corner of Old Town. Can't wait!
Good for you. I don't think it is high on unique style but it has a rep for nice clean rooms, so I bet you will be very happy, and a great location. I hope you have a great time in CM. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
The first hotel is absolutely gorgeous!
The Vegan hotel is really cool and great price. Love that's it's health focused.
Third hotel is pretty too, especially outdoor area.
I'm kinda leaning towards visiting the Vegan one! ❤
You may see us one day if you are eating at Away as we drop in there sometimes. And yes, the Phor Liang Meun is super cool. I love the look of the place. Both hotels are a great place to stay.
🙏🏼
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care.
Timely video as we are making plans for Chiang Mai for Songkran. My only visit to Chiang Mai was also for Chiang Mai in 2018 and stayed at a Airbnb on Ninman. We're are looking for a boutique experience in the old city.
Glad it was helpful! Watch out for the burning season, still going during Songkran likely, so check that out if you are not familiar with it.
@@RetiredGlobalLife In 2018 I couldn't see the mountains, nor valley from temple on the hill. 😀 Been to other parts in Thailand during Songkran, nothing as pure as how they do it in Chiang Mai. We'll probably hang till Monday and hit up Pai. We got two months.
Hi Randy and Joy,great selection. Chiang mai has the best and most unique hotels in Thailand. You could do dozens of videos about them. Here is one you might like:
Khum Phaya Resort & Spa, Centara Boutique Collection, check it out, near Central Festival and BigC
I checked it out upon your recommendation! Great looking place. For the video we just wanted real central places for first time visitors. But it's a cool looking place.
And thank you.
Dont forget in the old city the Rachamankra which is a superb little luxury hotel
Thanks. Pricey!
What is Chaing Mai like later this month in December please 🙏 😊
Being in CM for a month i can say that thereare more locals wearibg elephant print pants as foregneirs ..just a thought to your previous comment.
Yes, haha, no one listens to me! Best wishes.
Do a vid on the vegan hotel
What, another video on them? What do you mean?
How do you pick which area to living in (to rent or buy)? If in Bangkok, lots of people stay near BTS near Asok, Ekkimei, Thonglor, Silom…. What about Chiangmai? Do you choose to live near Luxury hotels? Thanks guys!
In Bangkok, living near a transportation hub is critical for time and cost if you have a job or are a student, otherwise you could just live where you like to be. In Chiang Mai, it is not so huge, so you could live in one area, and work in another area, and we have traffic at peak times, but not as bad as Bangkok. I think most people visit and get a feel for the communities. The newest large group of suburban homes are in the Hang Dong area but you have to get in your car or on your motorcycle to go anywhere. For those who want to walk outside their condo/apartment and eat and shop and do things, they might choose the Nimman area, or one of the more urban areas.
I will be in Chiang Mai in January. I will be in Bangkok for a few days. I love these choices of hotels. Do you have any recommendations for Bangkok?
Thanks, Maggie. Joy and I loved the place we stayed in Bangkok a couple months. Ideal if you like older places with character, and in the old city there so less traffic and right by the biggest temple and Royal Palace. It's called Chakrabongse Villas. Get back to us if you go there and let us know what you think.
@@RetiredGlobalLife Thanks! I will check this out. I’m also checking out another hotel that you rated Berkeley hotel.
I don't recognize the Berkeley but I'm sure you will find a great one. @@maggieadams7000
