Hotels Near Wat San Pa Lan in Chiang Saen

Clean hotel, good location, especially has a place to dry clothes and a good place to stay.

It's really good to stay this hotel. I really really really love this place. The accommodation is clean and have facilities to supply my demand. the price is reasonable. I hope to visit this hotel again.

Pros : • Space comfortable room with view of Mekong • Air restaurant with reasonable buffet breakfast • Infinity pool with beautiful view of Mekong river Cons • Here and there some Thai shortcomings • Coal terrace : this could be so beautiful. • The swimming pool is urgently required to restore. • No bar and restaurant for lunch or dinner Are you sure that the rest of the hotel is under-size for a 4-star hotel. We stayed here in 2017 also: quality has decreased significantly. Our luxurious room 305 was very spacious (30m2) with a good and broad bed (1.80m broad) and flat floor. Good air conditioning, medium-sized flat screen TV, wifi, coffee and tea. The spacious bathroom with indoor rain shower and separate bathroom is very comfortable with bath jackets and pantyhose. Room facilities are perfect. Good dark curtains. Balcony with 2 seats and table and most beautiful views of the Mekong and Laos. But don't forget: cheaper superior rooms on the back of the hotel have no view of Mekong. The breakfast buffet in the quite cale restaurant was enough with a separate egg station. Sometimes evening restaurant sometimes not, so unreliable. No bar is free coffee and water in the lobby. The outdoor terrace is extremely hot, really regrettable because with a little money and difficulty an architect can do wonders here. Great infinity pool with view of the Mekong River and with clean water but a lot of shortages , only three wooden seats. Some free bikes to use.

Atmosphere among the mountains and rivers Chiang Saen accommodation Baan Sawai Garden and Resort, one of the resorts. There is a most beautiful sunset viewpoint on the Mekong River in Ban Saeo Subdistrict, Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai Province. When checking in, the resort will welcome you with sweet lemonade as ”Welcome Drink”. Expected to change continuously Which the resort grows by itself and is chemical-free There is a golf cart picked up from the check-in building to the room. The resort has 4 rooms located on a hill facing the Mekong River. Causing the same view of Laos side from the balcony During my stay at the end of April The room is comfortable and the price is very good. There is a promotion to say the line. The price is very good. The opposite side of the resort is Laos, our neighboring country. Only the Mekong River is the border line between the two countries. From the location of the resort, you can see the beautiful sunset on the Mekong bank every season. On the organic orchard area. Various poisons in an area of more than 30 rai where you can experience fresh air all year round. Including being able to pick and taste organic fruits in every season The room for the night is a ”honeymoon suite” very wide, 53 square meters with an en-suite balcony. It is a single bed. appliances Amenity Kits The resort is fully equipped like a five-star hotel. Both toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, bathtubs for people who like to soak in outdoor or showers are all available. This breakfast is eaten until full as well. During this period, there are few guests, the resort will be arranged as a set meal. Passed very quickly It is another trip that returns with an impression. Until I feel that one night may be a little short for a real escape of the hustle and bustle. With the perfect atmosphere with a beautiful and peaceful view The air is so cool and fresh that I hardly want to go back. If there is a chance, I will definitely come back next time. Definitely attractive.

The pictures of Rai Saeng Arun and its surroundings are beautiful but they do not fully capture the special vibes experienced in this place. We were amazed by the abundance of frangipanis, bamboo trees, rice paddies, various crops and gardens, and the special view of the Mekong overlooking Laos . Extremely calm and quiet. Be ready to climb 200+ stairs every day if you're staying in one of the bungalows on the hill, but there are rooms on the river level - be sure to book the right room for your stay at the reservation stage. When showering, look up and witness trees and plants eclipsing your view of the sky. At night you will shower while looking up to the stars, and since it's a remote area, you will get a crisp view of the milky way. The food is predominantly Thai and delicious - fresh produce is grown around the area, so expect some of the freshest organic food from regions where top notch restaurants in Bangkok likely source from. While you can get much cheaper food in local areas of town, a meal for two here goes for around 600-700 Baht, quite inexpensive for the quality. The people are incredibly nice, as usual with Thai hospitality, but we were lucky to be invited by the manager's nephew on a mini road trip with his family to check out neighboring temples and the golden triangle. The couple didn't charge us a dime and even paid for our temple tickets and dinner. Not that all guests will be this lucky to be awarded this opportunity, but goes to show how genuine and kind the people here are. Advices: If staying on the hill (200+ stairs), pack light. While the hotel offers instant noodles, beverages and water in the rooms, feel free to bring evening snacks of your own as the hotel's restaurant closes at 5pm and the nearest supermarket/convenience store is definitely not walking distance. Reminder that this is a remote place. Most people come with their own cars or arrange drivers for the whole stay. Be sure to plan your day-trips and transportation ahead of the stay. Bring a good book, a good playlist, and unwind. 100% recommend.

We only stayed for 1 night before crossing over into Laos. The hotel totally surprised me. The staff were so helpful. The restaurant was really good and the views were stunning being right on the Mekong looking over into Laos. We stayed in a riverview room in the resort side of the hotel - the room was very nice, very clean and had everything we needed and the view from the balcony was amazing. I hope to come back to Chiang Khong and stay at the Teak Garden for a few days to really enjoy the hotel and the town.

The spacious room is conveniently arranged: a desktop with a chair, a table with two chairs (which is rare). Snow-white bedding. There is a public area for free coffee. The hotel is two minutes from the beautiful embankment of Mekonga. Access directly from the main street, it is not necessary to look for. From the downsides - parking only for three car seats.

We were extremely disappointed with this hotel. The room was in poor condition with broken doors poorly patched up doors into the bathroom, safe not working and a bed that was as hard as lying on concrete. The view was great from the balcony across the Mekong but that was the only good thing about this hotel room. There were a few other guests staying there at the same time as us but they left early because the noise from functions in their function room downstairs was extreme, and went on night after night until the early hours, Then the participants were allowed to go into other areas of the lower floor to continue the drunken behaviors without any intervention from staff. The other privately booked patrons all left early because nothing was done to control these people. We were the only ones left. Breakfast was determined by the choices made by the function groups, and is not the buffet breakfast the claim to provide and is not the breakfast we paid for as they describe. If you really feel the need to stay at this place you would be better going for a short walk along the river and having breakfast elsewhere because the breakfasts offered were poor and most of it was cold. The hotel also is reported to have a restaurant. True it does but they will only offered us a choice of 3 dishes that is the same as the function is offering to their participants. We had our order taken from these 3 dish menu only to then sit there for nearly an hour waiting for the food. The order was taken by the restaurant manager, but he chose to go to another table and sit with the hotel manager and drink beer and eat a huge bowl of chips. We are not sure if the order was even given to the kitchen staff, and when we asked what was going on there was no explanation, we were just asked to wait another 15 minutes. When we complained again it was magically there in about 5 minutes. We found other places to eat after that. The pool and the free use of hotel bicycles were pluses. The pool was well shaded from the sun, was clean and refreshing. There are bike tracks right outside the hotel along the river which are flat and easy to ride. Very few of the staff had any English, which is fine considering its Thailand, but even when you translated to Thai for them they were not helpful (particularly the management). They were solely focused on the groups in the functions and we felt very much like inconveniences in their way. I normally don't give reviews for a bad hotel but this place was exceptionally uncomfortable and poorly managed. In short we would never stay at this hotel again and suggest anyone that is considering this hotel look at one of the many other hotels that are nearby, and be assured any on the riverfront the same views of the river, with often better rates for their rooms and restaurants where they value your patronage.

We loved: - The room. Very comfortable and spacious. - The owner and her son. We needed to make some last minute changes to our itinerary, and the owner's son was extremely helpful with this. He made several phone calls for us to help us get the itinerary changed. The next morning, we needed to make more changes, and the owner was equally helpful. They really went above and beyond for us, and we remain grateful. It really set us up for a wonderful next leg of our journey. - The hospitality. We got a very warm welcome from the owner when we arrived. Service at dinner was lovely, too. - The energy. Baan Sakuna is just a cool place. It has a really nice hippie, motorcycle touring vibe that we really enjoyed. We didn't love: - The location. It's a bit out in the middle of nowhere. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, it's great; if you'd like to be in walking distance of some stuff to do, you'll probably want to catch a ride. (On the other hand, we had a lovely walk at sunset in the vicinity of the hotel.) I would definitely recommend Baan Sakuna.

If you want to relax and be out of town this is the place to be. We only stayed one night on our way to Laos border trip down the Mekong. The rooms are lovely. Large, clean, comfy beds and air con. The bonus is the pool. Given a morning travelling from Chiang Rai it was like walking into paradise. The resort offered breakfast and evening meal menus. Which we have to say was delicious. The owners wife was lovely she spent time talking to us about our onward plans. We had considered finishing our tour in Phuket, her daughter lived there and rented out accommodation. She called her, and offered advice on location. Whilst we didn't book anything the information was very welcome. The owner John, offered to run us into town if we wanted to go. We didn't but the offer was very thoughtful. We will definitely stay here again.
