3-star hotels in Chiang Rai
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Chiang Rai, drawn from guest scores of 4.7 down to 4.0 and 396 to 2,155 reviews. It is for travellers who want a mid-range base in northern Thailand, whether for a short break, a couples' trip or a family stay.
Staying in Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai is known for its temples, among them the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and the Blue Temple, for the night bazaar and the Golden Triangle, and as a base for the mountains and hill tribe villages of northern Thailand. The city has a growing cafe and restaurant scene, and its central area, including the night bazaar and clock tower, is walkable, though some attractions are spread out.
The hotels here sit mostly in the central area and along Phaholyothin Road, several within 0.3 km to 1.1 km of the centre, with others 2 km or more out and one 16.6 km away. That spread suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk, families who need pools and family rooms, and business travellers who value 24-hour front desks and easy access by road.
