Chiang Mai Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Arrived in Chiang Mai at 10am this morning after a dodgy night sleep on the train. Only had around 6 hours sleep in the last 2 days, so feeling rather tired and hazy this morning. When I arrived at the station, arranged some accommodation at the Royal Guest house just outside the old city walls. I wouldn't say it's palatial like the name suggest...

Arrived in Chaing Mai and booked our three day trek in the forrest. It was great fun but i'm not going to lie - i nearly died doing it! The first day we went on an elephant ride which was brilliant fun but then we had to trek for three hours all uphill and it was a killer! I was constantly paddy last and had a face like a tomatoe. The others fou...

Monday 25th February Woke up later this morning because last night was so hectic and we only got to bed late. After our lovely breakfast we decided to visit the Chiang Mai Zoo on the motorbike.

Jess and I arrived in Chiang Mai and booked ourselves onto a 3-day tour of the southern part of the Chiang Mai province...apparently more beautiful than the north ...

I treni sono fatiscenti ma la tecnologia che li comanda no. Ce ne siamo accorti quando nell'ufficio imformazioni con un singolo click ci hanno detto che rimanevano solo pochi posti in ...

Am Freitagabend sind Mark, Paul, Virginie und ich wieder in Chiang Mai angekommen. Gestern ist Mark nach Australien losgeflogen und inzwischen auch gut angekommen. Ich verbringe den regnerischen Sonntag (unglaublich, die Regenzeit ist eigentlich VORBEI!!) in einem netten Cafe mit W-LAN und treffe mich nachher noch mit Paul und V. Liebe Gruesse!

Firstly for all those who don't know our story we had not planned to come to Asia, we are just using up the end of our original round the world ticket before continuing our travels in Australia and Africa.
