Thank FourB2. It%26#39;s great information.

just stayed for the weekend in chiang mai at the bossotel - a little out of the centre - but you can get a nice room on the annexe for B450, B1400 in the main bit - free transfer to and from the airport, tuk tuks always outside to take you to say the night bazaar for B50 and a lovely cheap restaurant right next door
