A colleague recommended that we stay at Baan Klang Wiang as he and his wife had stayed there previously and we were so happy that he did! This is such a wonderful little oasis, tucked away from the hustle and bustle and yet still so close to everything. The whole experience from my email enquiry through to check-out was superb. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and show a genuine desire to make sure you are enjoying your stay. Nothing was too much trouble, free flowing Nespresso coffee in reception, which is a fabulous touch as I know how much the pods cost in Thailand (I live in Bangkok and ship them from London)! The ambience is great, really relaxing, airy and comfortable, it really feels like you are in a private home. We booked a superior room and suite and they actually gave us the upgrade to the suite at the same price as the superior room, which was a really nice touch, the only little gripe I personally had was the bed was a little hard for me, but not so that I couldn't sleep! We asked the receptionist to recommend a restaurant for dinner and she came up with a great Italian restaurant - Giorgio's - excellent! On the second night we were going to try a restaurant that another friend had recommended and she genuinely wanted to know our thoughts so that she could recommend it to others if we thought it was good. I am sure we will go back to Chiang Mai again this year and will definitely stay here again and recommend it to all our friends and fellow travellers.
