Pak Chiang Mai is a great place to stay in Chiang Mai. Located in the Old City, it is slightly away from the Tha Phae Gate (east gate) hustle and bustle, but still within easy walking distance of lots of restaurants. The hotel is charming and built in a Lannathai style. Breakfast is prepared with great care with fresh juices, fruit, coffee and made to order entrees. Bottled water in glass or plastic bottles is free and readily available, and the staff is very gentle and accommodating. We recommend staying in a larger second floor room. Great places to eat nearby are The Faces Gallery that is across the street, Munchies for vegan snacks and the Reform Kafé at the Green Tiger house. Also, be sure to check out the eclectic jazz on two floors of the North Gate Jazz Co-op.
