Hotels near Elephant Kingdom, Mae Rim

I was especially excited about staying at Jirung for a recent workshop I was participating in. The initial correspondences were very helpful and the staff seemed very capable of accommodating everything the group needed, including accomodations, dietary restrictions, and some of the delicate components of hosting a large group. While my room was actually very comfortable and a pleasure to stay in, the astronomical cost of the room per night was a huge turnoff, (more than all the 5 star hotels in Chiang Mai for the dates of my stay.) Chiang Mai is so affordable, and paying almost $120 per night at a ”discounted group rate” is just offensive for me given the complete non-existence of any form of concierge or star quality to the hospitality. I stayed in similar accomodations in Chiang mai for around 1/12th of the cost, don't get scammed by these prices. The restaurant on the property is a joke, absolutely ridiculous, as if all the employees were pulled off of the street and asked to work in an industry they don't understand and are downright terrible at, I have never experienced such disrepair in management and capacity from a restaurant before. They would consistently take 5 trips to bring the right bill with the right balances, constantly added things to the bill that weren't ordered, would include meat in vegetarian items, and when we pointed out that some individuals couldn't eat meat they would remove the chunks of meat from the dish and just bring it right back, pricing was different then what was listed on the menu and then they would refuse to honor the listed prices because these were ”old menus”, no concern for the health and wellness of their clients at a wellness center, absolutely laughable service, aweful awful awful! We stopped eating here after a few nights and elected to go to the 4 seasons next door to actually receive a meal from people who know what they are doing, and the pricing for the restaurant was higher than the #1 ranked restaurant on TripAdvisor, yet the only bad meals I had in thailand were while staying at Jirung. Numerous people, myself included, had numerous ant infestations in the ”villas”, and the workshop space smelled like cat urine because they have numerous cats on the grounds that wander freely. Supposedly the space was cleaned each day however a deep clean would be helpful to avoid the pungent aroma of cat urine, and this was workshop space on the first floor of the Thippamon Ashram, it just felt like the people working here had no respect for the customers or the job they were doing, and certainly weren't using the money we were spending to honor the space and care for the temple space. I would not recommend staying here, Everywhere else I have stayed in thailand was a better experience!

Proud Phu Fah was neat to stay at, but difficult for exploring Chiang Mai. We enjoyed feeling like we were staying in the jungle, and the room was clean and well-kept. There were three breakfast options, including one American breakfast, and the staff at the restaurant were especially pleasant. We were glad to have access to a pool, although it was a little chilly, even with pretty warm weather. In hindsight, we should have stayed closer to the city since we wanted to spend most of our time exploring Chiang Mai. There was a hotel driver available for an extra cost (1000 baht for a 1-way trip) who was very kind and flexible with our desires to go to the city. Once in the city, we had an easy time finding a Grab (like Uber) driver back to the hotel for a smaller cost. However, being about an hour away from the Old Town part of the city made for longer days. Overall, Proud Phu Fah would be a great place to stay if you are looking to hang out at the hotel most of the time! If you are wanting to explore Chiang Mai and go on excursions to an elephant sanctuary, the sticky waterfall, or Doi Inthanon, you're probably better off staying in the city instead!

The room was very clean, the bed was soft, the blankets were soft, the front desk was clean and very beautiful. There are plenty of places to sit. Good service staff Very fast. I like it very much. If I reserve in time, I will come to stay again.

If you can't stand the congestion and air pollution in the city, go to the countryside in northern Thailand to rest. It is about a 30-minute drive from the old town of Chiang Mai. It is recommended for those who have transportation. If there is no transportation, it is recommended for those who want to participate in tiger and elephant tours. It’s really comfortable to stay in the swimming pool after having a daily schedule around. It’s perfect for families who just want to relax and have children. Check in directly and don’t go anywhere. The children have a great time in the swimming pool. The host can help prepare food. . There are village stalls within a five-minute walk. The park is designed with careful planting and the animals are well taken care of.

Love this hotel, new, clean, medium sized hotel. 3 of us stayed in a good size double story room! It’s only 5-10 mins drive from the city and they offer a great spread for hotel breakfast & my favourite is the mini cafe which they open every morning, even if it’s just to serve 2-3 guests with latte or americano coffee options. Must say they really put heart into the work they do. Every single staff there works hand in hand to provide great service. Will be back!

The hotel is located quite deep from the main road. If you don't have your own car, it will be very inconvenient. There is no convenience store in the neighborhood at all. The hotel tried to arrange it as a Japanese style, but it is not really Japanese. The similar part is the Japanese-style toilet in the room. Including in the common toilet (although the cleanliness needs to be improved a little), the onsen room is still not the real hot spring water, just warm. only,the breakfast is very small and the taste is very average.there are few staff.informing about the bedside lights failure.so no one came to fix it.

I am surely guarantee that the price comparing with the facilities are perfectly match. The plus is the staff’s service and performance. The room is big enough for living with the dark theme style. Its call unique and the place is very clean. I will coming back for sure :-) and see you everyone.

The desk staff deleted my email booking then they talk me to give the email booking. Lucky we have save the booking number. My partner found my email booking in trash email. because they said they are full double bed they cant provide. They gave us 2 single bed. We got a cheap price on agoda. We book superior double bed. They said it is full and on vacation people book a lot. Then they should call and check with us if they cant give the room like booking. They ask us to add money and upgrade the room. They said because we book on agent agoda then we should contract agoda. They dont do anything with that. We derived far from city to get a room with 2single bed for a couple. Very disappointed Never come back again. Dont recommend anyone to come here.

All the things that wants to be explored are in reachable distance. This is excellent hotel that I’ve ever stayed, the hotel stuffs are weak in English though. They are very hospitable and showcasing as the land of smile. From the point of cleanliness, rooms are shiny and bright. The most awesome thing is pet friendly. So I am considering to stay again in this hotel.

Stayed in the room, Kochi Studio According to the picture, clean, round table to sit and work There is popcorn, breakfast has toast :) Limited parking under the building at a height of 2 meters, but in front, you can park.
