In a prime location in the centre of Chiang Mai, Thapae Gate Lodge provides air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace. This property is located a short distance from attractions such as Three Kings Monument, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, and Chang Puak Gate. The hostel features family rooms. Fred was very pleasant and advised us on places worth visiting. We stayed for 2 nights and then went to Pai. When we returned from Pai to Chiang Mai, we stopped here again and it was lucky that we did. Our stay there was enjoyable and fun. Recommend
