White Temple's mirrored mosaics dazzle visitors while the Night Bazaar offers local crafts and street food after dark. Head to the Golden Triangle viewpoint in Chiang Saen to see where Thailand meets Laos and Myanmar.
We had the best time at the Doowall this week. It’s quiet and serene at the hotel and it’s only a short distance from the White Temple. Coming back in at night and seeing the temple sparkle in the dark is a truly magical moment, especially when in a Tuk Tuk. The food was incredible, I will think about that yellow curry with crispy mushrooms for the rest of my life. The staff was so helpful and kind. I cannot thank them enough for making such a magical experience. The only downside is I only...

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.

The location is absolutely amazing and only a 5 min walk to stores, restaurants and outdoor markets and bazaars. There is also a beautiful Temple close by with less than a 10 min walk. The staff was amazing and helpful with everything. I also loved playing with the kitties on property. Loved having coffee and breakfast every morning at the hotel before setting out for the day. We would stay again.
