A Chiang Rai Hotel Review - A Relaxing and Enjoyable Stay in a Resort Like Chiang Ria Hotel

We visited Ching Rai, Thailand recently, a smaller city about 4 hours of bus ride from Chiang Mia. We were there for a few days staying at a hotel which was more than we expected; it was like a resort.

The ground was nicely kept and the tress and plants were beautifully manicured. However, the cleanliness of some of the public spaces such as stairs and walls could be better. The part I enjoyed the most was taking part in the zumba exercise class and swimming in the Olympic size swimming pool during our stay at the hotel. Since we were in Thailand in August, everyday the temperature was above 30 degrees, therefore getting a dip in the pool in the evening was a cool and relaxing experience. I love doing lane swim, therefore I chose later hours to swim when there were not too many people.

It was fantastic being in the pool after the sunset and doing my lane swim to my heart's content! The zumba class was fun with not one but three energetic instructors leading us in our moves. This was the kind of hotel where I could spend a few days wihtout running around the city too much for sightseeing.We started our day with our breakfast in the hotel's spacious dining room. The breakfast was served buffet style with various dishes served on long tables.

There were a mix of western style style breakfast such as eggs, sausages, toasts. milk, coffee and teas as well as Asian style food items such as congee, fried noodles and steamed buns. There was a good variety from which to choose. ">
