Our pleasure. They were fun places to visit. Higher end but still affordable. CM does have places that are 3-4 times as much, so there is a much higher end, but I don't think you get much more for your money.

I really enjoyed the Terra Cota Arts Hotel when I was there. I don't remember having breakfast there. I always seem to fill up on street food at night and sleep in. I can't wait to get back to CM around Christmas.

Now I have to go back to Chiang Mai and test these hotels, especially the first one. Last time, I stayed in two really different hotels, one very modern - BED Chiang Mai Gate - with an excellent breakfast and just near the Chiang Mai gate night market, the second one, very beautiful hotel - Amata Lanna - all in teak wood. Both were good experience, but I love being just near a street food market, that's how I feel the most that I'm in Thailand.

I'll be there on the 17th for 3 weeks. Staying at a place that's still pretty unique but a fraction of the cost. 17 bucks a night and during the high season 19 bucks. SK House I, I believe in the northeast corner of Old Town. Can't wait!

How do you pick which area to living in (to rent or buy)? If in Bangkok, lots of people stay near BTS near Asok, Ekkimei, Thonglor, Silom…. What about Chiangmai? Do you choose to live near Luxury hotels? Thanks guys!
@RetiredGlobalLife

In Bangkok, living near a transportation hub is critical for time and cost if you have a job or are a student, otherwise you could just live where you like to be. In Chiang Mai, it is not so huge, so you could live in one area, and work in another area, and we have traffic at peak times, but not as bad as Bangkok. I think most people visit and get a feel for the communities. The newest large group of suburban homes are in the Hang Dong area but you have to get in your car or on your motorcycle to go anywhere. For those who want to walk outside their condo/apartment and eat and shop and do things, they might choose the Nimman area, or one of the more urban areas.

Thanks, Maggie. Joy and I loved the place we stayed in Bangkok a couple months. Ideal if you like older places with character, and in the old city there so less traffic and right by the biggest temple and Royal Palace. It's called Chakrabongse Villas.
