365 Th Charoenrat; r 450-550B; )
Readers often recom-
mend this place. It's a bit out of town, north of Saphan Ratanakosin, and the accommoda-
tion is fairly rudimentary but the riverside setting is nice.
Baan Orapin

150 Th Charoenrat; r from 2400-3600B; )
It's a family affair
at Baan Orapin, a pretty garden compound anchored by a stately teak house, which has
been in the family since 1914. Luxurious guest residences (a total of 15 rooms) are in sep-
arate and modern buildings spread throughout the property.

River View Lodge

;
25 Soi 4, Th Charoen Prathet; r 1800-2200B; )
This
breezy lodge is the perfect antidote to the hustle of the night bazaar area. Its quiet river-
side setting is enhanced by a lush garden and pool. The rooms are a tad lacklustre but
many don't mind when a chirping red bul-bul volunteers as a morning alarm clock.

7 Soi 2, Th Charoen Prathet; r 1100B; )
This quiet riverside lodge is
close, but not too close, to the night bazaar. It has slightly dated but comfortable rooms
with shared verandah, and the river-facing restaurant is a pleasant spot to start the morn-
ing.
West of the Old City
There are a mix of options in this part of town ranging from long-term hotels to hip
boutiques. Staying west of the old city puts you close to Chiang Mai University and Th
Nimmanhaemin's bars and restaurants.
