Where To Stay In Chiang Mai: Sakulchai Place
My friend and I are on a budget trip together and after a quick search for the best rated hotel within our budget, we chanced upon Sakulchai Place.
What I liked about Sakulchai Place:
- Location was really good – very close to a mall (which we never visited) and 7-Eleven (a real life-saver). It’s a good 2-minute walk from the main road so the hotel vicinity itself is quiet and free from the hustle and bustle of the busy street (hooray to a wonderful sleep).
- No language barrier – the staffs seem to understand and communicate fairly in English.
- Cheap rate – (although, I learned that most really nice small hotels in Chiang Mai offer 590 baht per night, so this was not really a hidden gem).
Other things that you need to know about Sakulchai Place:
- Fresh towels are given daily, but if you happen to need more, it is NOT provided for free.
- Toothbrush and toothpaste are available for a FEE.
- No complimentary slippers.
- FREE wi-fi (a real necessity these days)
- Room smells of old wood upon entry. It will go away after some time when the air-conditioning unit is running.
- SAKULCHAI PLACE is NOT wheelchair friendly. You have to ALWAYS use the stairs to access the elevator. (until now, I still don’t understand the reason behind this).
TIP: Nimman Road is one of the coolest and hippest places to visit. It would be great to book a small hotel near Nimman Road to save yourself from tuktuk/taxi rides :) (Sakulchai Place is located elsewhere)
