Hotels near Wat saluang nai., Mae Rim

I was especially excited about staying at Jirung for a recent workshop I was participating in. The initial correspondences were very helpful and the staff seemed very capable of accommodating everything the group needed, including accomodations, dietary restrictions, and some of the delicate components of hosting a large group. While my room was actually very comfortable and a pleasure to stay in, the astronomical cost of the room per night was a huge turnoff, (more than all the 5 star hotels in Chiang Mai for the dates of my stay.) Chiang Mai is so affordable, and paying almost $120 per night at a ”discounted group rate” is just offensive for me given the complete non-existence of any form of concierge or star quality to the hospitality. I stayed in similar accomodations in Chiang mai for around 1/12th of the cost, don't get scammed by these prices. The restaurant on the property is a joke, absolutely ridiculous, as if all the employees were pulled off of the street and asked to work in an industry they don't understand and are downright terrible at, I have never experienced such disrepair in management and capacity from a restaurant before. They would consistently take 5 trips to bring the right bill with the right balances, constantly added things to the bill that weren't ordered, would include meat in vegetarian items, and when we pointed out that some individuals couldn't eat meat they would remove the chunks of meat from the dish and just bring it right back, pricing was different then what was listed on the menu and then they would refuse to honor the listed prices because these were ”old menus”, no concern for the health and wellness of their clients at a wellness center, absolutely laughable service, aweful awful awful! We stopped eating here after a few nights and elected to go to the 4 seasons next door to actually receive a meal from people who know what they are doing, and the pricing for the restaurant was higher than the #1 ranked restaurant on TripAdvisor, yet the only bad meals I had in thailand were while staying at Jirung. Numerous people, myself included, had numerous ant infestations in the ”villas”, and the workshop space smelled like cat urine because they have numerous cats on the grounds that wander freely. Supposedly the space was cleaned each day however a deep clean would be helpful to avoid the pungent aroma of cat urine, and this was workshop space on the first floor of the Thippamon Ashram, it just felt like the people working here had no respect for the customers or the job they were doing, and certainly weren't using the money we were spending to honor the space and care for the temple space. I would not recommend staying here, Everywhere else I have stayed in thailand was a better experience!

Interesting experience where we had dinner (bbq) and breakfast delivered to our room. View was great from the balcony. Room was clean. Only downside was there was no amenities surrounding after sunset. So make sure to have extra food for those who require supper. Also, be prepared to live with some insects or flies that flew in from the nature. We loved staring at the greenery and breathing in the natural fresh air, which we can’t get the experience in the city. A good getaway from the bustling city life. Highly recommend for those looking for such experience

This was our third time at Mae Sa valley. It is such a special place. We travel extensively and I consider this to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world. It had not changed a bit in 5 years, maybe perhaps the gardens got more beautiful. The setting: The gardens here are looked after so well. There are several gardeners at work the whole time. The view is breath-taking and stunning with a fast flowing river at the bottom. The manageress, Ai, is very good at her job, speaks amazing English (which is not a given in Thailand) and is very intuitive. Last time we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms up the top which had the advantage of an amazing view over the whole valley. The rooms are a bit basic but you get what you pay for. We upgraded to what they call a suite this time and it was amazing. I cannot describe the attention to detail (murals on the walls, door handles in animal shapes etc.) I discovered something new every time I looked. Next time we will go for the suite suite! These rooms are closer to the river which is nice but the river is loud. It is quite well insulated in the bedroom so you don't hear it. The area: There is surprisingly a lot in the way of tourist attractions here (botanic gardens with canopy walks, insect farm, elephant farm) but not much in the way of restaurants. Bring snacks. Of course, this is not for everyone. If you are mobility impaired this will not work for you as too many steps. As you are in nature there are a lot of insects and it is humid and you get a damp smell from the river. Also, breakfast is very basic (but the view makes up for it!) All said, this place is special and has to be seen.

Proud Phu Fah was neat to stay at, but difficult for exploring Chiang Mai. We enjoyed feeling like we were staying in the jungle, and the room was clean and well-kept. There were three breakfast options, including one American breakfast, and the staff at the restaurant were especially pleasant. We were glad to have access to a pool, although it was a little chilly, even with pretty warm weather. In hindsight, we should have stayed closer to the city since we wanted to spend most of our time exploring Chiang Mai. There was a hotel driver available for an extra cost (1000 baht for a 1-way trip) who was very kind and flexible with our desires to go to the city. Once in the city, we had an easy time finding a Grab (like Uber) driver back to the hotel for a smaller cost. However, being about an hour away from the Old Town part of the city made for longer days. Overall, Proud Phu Fah would be a great place to stay if you are looking to hang out at the hotel most of the time! If you are wanting to explore Chiang Mai and go on excursions to an elephant sanctuary, the sticky waterfall, or Doi Inthanon, you're probably better off staying in the city instead!

We had a pleasant and peaceful stay up in the mountains. The images of the room were accurate and the family suite was spacious enough for 4 adults. The owners were helpful and responsive, food is available all day (till 8pm) and they cook the best porridge for breakfast. Do note that even though the Google location of the homestay is correct, the route to reach there is incorrect. We were horribly misled by Google; thankfully, a friendly local eventually guided us to the place. Guests should WhatsApp the owners for guidance on how to get there.

The room was very clean, the bed was soft, the blankets were soft, the front desk was clean and very beautiful. There are plenty of places to sit. Good service staff Very fast. I like it very much. If I reserve in time, I will come to stay again.

Love this hotel, new, clean, medium sized hotel. 3 of us stayed in a good size double story room! It’s only 5-10 mins drive from the city and they offer a great spread for hotel breakfast & my favourite is the mini cafe which they open every morning, even if it’s just to serve 2-3 guests with latte or americano coffee options. Must say they really put heart into the work they do. Every single staff there works hand in hand to provide great service. Will be back!

The hotel is located quite deep from the main road. If you don't have your own car, it will be very inconvenient. There is no convenience store in the neighborhood at all. The hotel tried to arrange it as a Japanese style, but it is not really Japanese. The similar part is the Japanese-style toilet in the room. Including in the common toilet (although the cleanliness needs to be improved a little), the onsen room is still not the real hot spring water, just warm. only,the breakfast is very small and the taste is very average.there are few staff.informing about the bedside lights failure.so no one came to fix it.

I am surely guarantee that the price comparing with the facilities are perfectly match. The plus is the staff’s service and performance. The room is big enough for living with the dark theme style. Its call unique and the place is very clean. I will coming back for sure :-) and see you everyone.

Ecellenct room space because got one big balcony，the bed sheet was clean and felt comfortable. Anyway the water for shower was not hot enough, the hair dryer was get some problem that my hair was be dried after using 20 mins.... The big problem was noisy because facing the road🤣🤣u could hear the noisy from motorcycle and cars passed by any time...
