After what seemed a long drive up from Chiang Mai with stop offs along the way, I was glad to finally arrive at the Wangcome Hotel. It is located just off one of Chiang Rai's main streets in a quiet square. The lobby is large and inviting and after a speedy check-in by friendly staff I was shown to my room which was average size and spotless. The bathroom contained everything from complimentary tooth brushes, combs, shower gel, shampoo (both in large containers), there were dressing gowns, slipperettes, multi channel TV with English speaking channels, comfortable beds, A/C, windows that open, mini-bar etc. The bed was very comfortable but there was a power cut during the night affecting the whole city block so the A/C cut out. The hotel is strictly no smoking throughout but they do have a nice smoking balcony with loungers etc on the 4th floor.
The night market is a short walk away and immediately opposite the hotel there are small eateries, massage parlours and a small department store. Don't be intimidated passing the girls outside the massage parlours - they seemed to be all very friendly and were all smiles. The restaurant in the hotel that serves the complimentary British/American breakfast is nice but the food is the usual heat lamp stuff - okay if you're starving. If I were to visit Chiang Rai again I would not hesitate to stay at Wangcome Hotel again.
