Matzzon Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Sounds on them like everything is fantastic. Just trust them. No Thai hotel or resort would ever even think about lying to their customers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 You get 40% off from the 1600, or is 1600 the actual price? Looks like an average 1600THB place in normal times, so if this is the price now i would say it's too expensive. If you get 40% off it's a good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe666 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Never stayed there but there are alot of hotels in that area, just across from Thapae gate. Not much happening around there at present. Near a starbucks, a short hike up to Miguels, and there are bars open but very few customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I am pretty sure its a newly built place. The soi that it is on is unrecognisable from a few years ago. Decent enough location though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have never stayed at this place but its always looked very interesting. Its not a city location and may not be doing the 40% govt scheme? Seems like a vegan dream place? https://maladhara.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneZero Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 cnxbkkman, "Its not a city location....". You had me confused for a second, but now I see what you mean: It's not an "inside the moat" location. But only a very short distance from the moat. Probably 5 min walk as they said.

Logosone Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 It's a great location if you want to be close to the old town. It's not good if you like peace and quiet, as it's close to one of the busiest streets in Chiang Mai. Looks good on paper though, not been myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The area has been upgrading for a few years now. There is another hotel in rocks throwing distance that is being built. Not sure if you would hear the noise or how finished it is at this point. Pretty near all the bars on Loi Kroh or the moat and McDonalds for a veggie burger or french fries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) We stayed there around December 2018 when it was recently opened. Nice and quiet place. Wasn't vegan food then. Maybe vegetarian, but not quite sure as we mainly ate out. Under five minute walk to Tha Pae Gate. Long narrow swimming pool accessed from terrace of ground floor rooms I recall.

neilrob Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I have eaten dinner there a couple of times. I am not a vegetarian, but I enjoy good vegetarian food. The hotel looks very nice. The food was a bit disappointing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. It's both, instead of the repetitive petulant ear bashing, haul your ----s down there next week and check it out. 20 meters south of McDonalds, hang a left on 'shaman books' soi, go straight. Nice looking. It centers on a long narrow interior courtyard pool which likely helps with noise reduction. Still it is quiet back there. Just another (semi) boutique hotel, built in the boutique gold hotel rush of 17/19. Those were the days. Tapping that Celestial gold mine.
