Secret Corner ended up being one of those rare hostels that immediately feels right — calm, modern, and so well put together that I extended my stay without hesitation. Everything inside is spotless, from the dorms to the shared spaces, and the beds are genuinely comfortable.
The rooftop is what truly sets this place apart. It’s spacious, relaxing, and the perfect spot to unwind after exploring Chiang Rai, offering a peaceful atmosphere that still makes it easy to meet other travelers without...

This hotel was formerly the Dusit Island Resort. While the service and F&B were always very good, the hotel itself had become dated and was past due for renovation and modernization. Earlier this year the hotel was closed for 4 months during which time a complete total renovation of the entire property was completed, after which it recently re-opened as The Riverie. VERY IMPRESSED with what they have done. The rooms now have an all new light, bright and airy feel and several multi-prong...

The Meridian lives up to the high standards of a Marriott hotel. It’s a large resort located along the river providing nice views for most rooms. We had a suite that was modern, spacious, and comfortable. Check-in was smooth and easy – even when we identified a complication with the reservation. The breakfast buffet was comprehensive offering various American, European, and Asian selections. Service at all the restaurants varied between above average and excellent. Additionally, the hotel...

Chiang Rai has no shortage of hotels. I've stayed at many of them. This is the one I'll be back to.
Kahavadi Chiang Rai is brand new — Hilton's first property in Northern Thailand, opened in July 2026 — and it feels like it was built for this spot on the Mae Kok River, not just dropped into it. The whole place is a contemporary take on a Lanna merchant's residence, and you feel that the moment you walk into the grand lobby.
I stayed in the 1-bedroom suite for $150 a night, overlooking the...

Beautiful hotel with large rooms and bathrooms and great breakfast buffet!
Though location is not central, it's easy to get wherever you want to go using taxis. Free Hotel shuttle to the night market helps too. Friendly staff is always available to assist.

This hotel after the 16 1/2 hours to get there was the perfect antidote!
Great, friendly staff in a relaxing location on the river, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. By far my favorite hotel (out of 5) that I stayed at while in Thailand.
The room was outstanding. Each bungalow had four rooms and my room had a huge walk in area partially set off from the sleeping room. Working/computer area behind bed in a little alcove area with (unfortunately) limited view of huge TV. ...

A/C worked great. The breakfast options every morning were outstanding! Everyone was so helpful and kind. Close to the hospital food court where we ate at was the best food. We used the Grab app to go to the Temples. It was super easy to hop in as it was easy access. I would definitely stay here again.
