The pool was not as pictured, looked to be part of the deck under construction. Advertising Spa but no massage. Seems to be lack of employees. Okay for a quick night stay

I returned to Chiang Mai after a trip a year ago to find specific shops, walking streets, and restaurants. All were as pleasing as I remember. Otherwise, I came to get away from Bangkok and simply relax.
