Baan Rub Aroon

Chiang Rai


The rooms in this handsome villa, located just west of the city centre, aren’t as charming as the exterior suggests, and the cheapest share bathrooms, though the more expensive ones are fine. There's a big garden and the pleasant staff make it a good choice if you’re looking for a quiet, homey stay.
