This is a low budget stay at south of old city Chiang Mai. 3 minutes walk from Chiang Mai Gate, that means it's a good location for those enjoy dinning at Chiangmai gate food night Market.
I gave it two star if the price is not so cheap. It's the cheapest double room ever paid in Chiangmai. Less that US$10.
Room is big but my room C5 has no refrigerator, negative thing. Water is not hot enough and I don't thing I need very hot shower in Thailand, so it's not a con. Air conditioner is excellent. TV only have one English channel FX life okay and sound is not clear sometimes. No breakfast but tea and coffee are self services 24 hours 7 days. Nobody clean the room unless the guest request and I did not. It's because I am clean and tidy, the keeper comment to me when I checked out after 5 days stay is 'same as check in'. He did not find any dirty, rubbish, broken furniture or out of order situation.
The little garden is quiet, full of greens and mosquitoes and ants. I use bug repellents every time I out in to the garden. The Oasis Spa is opposite to Tree Residence and I tried this luxury Thai massage and hot herbal massage. Speaking frankly, it's not bad except for expensive! I would recommend same quality but much low price Ziam Massage in old city.
Chiangmai gate Market also open at 5:30 am every morning, local people purchase food and groceries every day. In early mornings, many monks appear to bless local people who gives food to monks and pray to Buddha. It's a nice early morning scene while having breakfast in local market and share a daily life of North Thai people.
