Dun think is season now lah. But i think Wang Tong is a bit old liao. Not worth the $. A lot of people staying at Piyaporn Place now leh. Cheap and good.

i think there is season price. from what i have check on the site, did ur room face the border if so maybe is bcos of that it extra cost.

well to each his or her own which hotel is better or where he or she like to stay in. so it good to suggest other hotel here for other bros to refer.

wang tong is old but i think the rooms are still good. the view from wang tong i think is still better if u wanna see myanmar view which u can see the myanmar temple from the hotel.

darn i took one photo b4 but it not a soft copy. think i need to scan that i share to the bros here n my site

Cheers

well bro things have change alot. maesai is alot expensive now then 2002. I went there in 2001 and came for a visit with my girl in 2006 and once awhile my girl and i drive up to maesai for a break.

there is alot of tourist compare to 2002. most of them are from china. they come to maesai buy things, i wonder why

Anyway not just maesai. they also go to the queen mother garden, golden triangle. u can see many of them visiting this places.

DM disco is still there. business are so much better then 2002. still remember in 2001 the place is so quiet after 6pm but now it diff.

yes bud. oct should be, dont need to worry so much. there is a few hotels there. if worry no hotel room can just give them a call n reserve one first.

if u going from sgp. u can either take a tiger airway or air asia to bkk. just take note on this try to give urself at least 2.5 hr for transiting in bkk.

Airasia love to be late but somehow have imporved that. still best to have 2.5hr to avoid problem. Also bkk custom damn bad. the last 2 time it take me 1hr plus to get out of the custom the Q damn long. person average 2 to 3min plus.

since u flying to chiangrai suggest u take thai airasia in bkk. cos it in the new airport. if u take one2go or nok air u had to go to the old airport it about 1hr traveling. unless u have lots of time but i think it not worth to go to the old airport since airasia flight to chiangrai.

if u think u dont like to take budget airline then take thai airway. it about 100sgd extra but u save the trouble of check into bkk custom n then check in again on the 4th floor for domestic flight. taking thai airway u only need to transit to another terminal and board your chiangrai flight and when u reach then check into custom in chiangrai airport

from chiangrai u can just book a cab to maesai. (unless u feel like trying out driving urself up to maesai then go rent a car. per day about 1300baht for a toyota vivo or honda jazz which include insurance. pls make sure u have personal and car insurance covered.

there is 2 police checkpoint when traveling to maesai. one is before mae chan the other one is almost reaching maesai. coming back towards the airport the same check point area. Remember to wear seat belt now a days they really catch pple for not wearing but some dont really care. they also will ask u for ur car license. so make sure u stop when they ask u to n wind down ur window.

beware of motorcycle n pple when driving. this pple drive like they are the king of the road hehehe so be extra careful.

Another way is take direct to chiangmai from singapore. then stay one day there n then next day take a flight to chiangrai. there is only one flight a day to chiangrai and it in the morning around 8am. SGA airline is nok air's sub.

http://www.sga.co.th/en-GB/index.html

It a 12 seater plane - Cessna 208B Grand Caravan

Chiang Mai - Chiang Rai
availabilities: Daily Flight: 5E 911 Depart: 0815 Arrive: 0855

Chiang Rai - Chiang Mai
availabilities: Daily Flight: 5E 912 Depart: 0915 Arrive: 0955

hope this will help u. so good luck and start planning for ur trip n book ur ticket in advance

I will be flying off to chiangrai again on the 22nd sept

this is something new, previously the only air service from Chiangmai to Chiangrai is to fly from Chiangmai to Bangkok first, then to Chiangrai...

Thanks for sharing

yes this flight is new, SGA just started this i think around apr or may 07.

hehehe i rather take a bus to chiangrai from chiangmai. too costly to fly down to bkk n then to chiangrai.

glad the info is of use to some of us here ^.^ i hope they have more flight to chiangrai then i can plan to flight direct to CM then to CR.

Cheers
