Tanyahouse

Very cute and cosy guest house, we loved the decor and vibe! Very helpful staff, great motorbike rental, fab location!

For the location and price in today's economy - it is excellent. Very friendly owner, shaded outdoor common areas, easy walk to bus station. Big room, big fridge. Windows open both to the outside and to the interior common courtyard if you wish for a cross breeze. It is an older style budget accommodation that was common 15+ years ago. If you want a small taste of what Chiang Rai was like in the 1990s and 2000s there are a few places like this left. AC was a luxury until fairly recently. AC is driving construction of new power generation - like the hydropower dams that are killing the fishery and local communities - forcing local people into wage labor in the cities. If you are coming to Thailand to see Thailand - and not a Thai version of the US and EU - consider getting by with the fan room, and stay in local places like this. Many places to eat nearby. The most local and cheapest remaining are behind the bus station along the right side. There were a few places around the corner on the left as you head back to the bus, but there is a new tall building built on top of them now. There are also fancier tourist places nearby.

It was a bit hot while I was here. Fan is always enough, but sometimes just barely enough. That's all really, and part of the pricing and the experience.

Everything was great. Breakfast ans Cappuccino are great. Jimmy and his wife are great, very friendly and hospitable.

Ideal location by the bus station for one night! Very helpful host & able to leave bags, free cup of tea /coffee in the morning. Aircon worked well!

Room left a little to be desired but for the price & a quick overnight stay the place was ideal.
