The culture capital of Thailand, Chiang Mai is famous for its festivals and its rugged, mountainous terrain. Some of the best Chiang Mai hotels can be found nestled in the scenic beauty. The place is also nominated as one of the best cities to visit in the world in 2011, by Lonely Planet, along with New York (US), Valencia (Spain) and Wellington (New Zealand).

Tips for Finding the Best Chiang Mai Hotels

Staying at the best Chiang Mai hotels facilitates your enjoying several types of activities, including elephant rides in the jungle, visiting ethnic hill tribes, and enjoying a pulsating nightlife. Although tranquil and peaceful, Chiang Mai comes to life during April, during the Songkran festival. Visitors are required to book their rooms well in advance during this season to avoid last-minute disappointments.

To find Chiang Mai hotels that charge competitive prices, you can search on reputed travel agent websites. These websites offer extensive choices in terms of the number, services, amenities, rates, location and packages. Here are more tips for finding the best Chiang Mai hotels:

* Ask for special discounts if you intend to stay for more than three days. Many hotels offer discounts, such as breakfast for two, Wi-Fi internet access, free island tours, free airport/hotel transfers, free use of bicycles, and flexible check-in and check-out timings.

* Check if they are well-connected to tourist attractions. If you will be at the hotel for most part of the day, look for beautiful surroundings. For instance, look for those situated among lush tropical forests, or those overlooking rugged mountains or terraced rice fields, as per your taste.

* Ask if the rooms are luxurious and well-appointed with, say, a fridge, satellite TV, prompt room services, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds and air-conditioning, among others.

* Ask for additional discounts for those reserving double rooms or for booking rooms on twin-sharing basis. Online bookings also attract more discounts than telephone booking.

For better room location, you can consider scheduling your trip during mid-week. As weekends attract a huge holiday crowd, hotel room rates increases and you may not get your preferred room.
