Viangluang Resort
Clean and beautiful hotel. It has that Thai feeling and very very close to the biggest night market on Sunday. IF traveling to Chiang Mai make sure one of the nights you stay in the Old City lands on a Sunday night. Biggest night market in Thailand. Amazing experience. The staff was very friendly ...
