The rooms are basic, and the hyper-chilled reg-
gae vibe doesn't exactly suggest sky-high standards of service, but for those who fancy a
social backpacker scene, this is your place.

;
893 Th Ngam Meuang; r incl breakfast 550-1000B; )
The
rooms in this handsome villa, located just west of the city centre, aren't as charming as the
exterior suggests, and most share bathrooms, but it's a good choice if you're looking for a
quiet homey stay.
Lek House
( 0 5371 1550; lekhousehotel@live.co.uk; cnr Th Ratyotha & Th Baanpa Pragarn; r incl breakfast 450-750B;
)
This purple compound is home to a handful of tight but attractive air-con rooms,
although there's little separating the bathrooms. The fan-cooled rooms are much simpler,
and everybody gets to use the pool. Lek House is near the corner of Th Ratyotha (the con-
tinuation of Th Thanalai) and Th Baanpa Pragarn.

1400-1500B; )
Aggressive marketing strategy aside ('When ever you are at Chiang
Rai. Stay at The Diamond Park Inn'), this vast hotel is a safe midrange choice. Rooms are
attractive, with modern furniture and beds on an elevated platform. The more expensive
rooms have bath-tubs, wide balconies, and are big enough to feel slightly empty.
Golden Triangle Inn
( 0 5371 1339;

; 590 Th Phahonyothin; s/d incl breakfast 700/800B; )
Resem-
bling an expansive Thai home (including the occasional lived-in untidiness this can en-
tail), the 31 rooms here have tile or wood floors, wooden furniture and twin beds. The
compound includes a restaurant, a Budget car-rental office and an efficient travel agency.
