will be going up to mai sai close and planning to stay overnight with my girlfriend would like to know if anyone knows of any good hotel in chiangrai to stay overnight also want to do some shopping and sight seeing in burma for a day on my tourist visa from what i remember i need a copy of my passport and either 10 us dollars or 500 baht to get me into burma for a day without forfeiting my visa

Just remember when you go over the border you will only get a 15 days permit to stay when you cross back over unless you have a re entry visa or multi entry on your tourist visa.. Check at the border before you go..Lots of good places to stay in Chiang rai and I would say the Nim see sing is great value at 399 baht a night. its better than the wang come at 1200 baht a night. has air, cable tv and some breakfast.. breakfast is coffee and toast. Check out Rico's bar while you are in Chiang rai it is by the condo Hotel . Everyone should know where it is. Rico's beach bar(in town) has good food farang and Thai and cheap drinks. Good expat bar...Anything else you need to know them message me..have a good trip Dave

thanks for the information i will be driving up to chiangrai and mai hong son would like to know the address of the hotel called nim see sing also do they have maybe a web address with temporary visa to burma i had not problem last time on a single entry tourist visa for the day only with copy of passport and 100 baht to thai immigration and either 10 us dollars or 500 baht to burma can stay in thailand with single entry tourist visa without voiding the tourist visa, if have enough time can take a small tour inside burma for the day only, in chiangria want to visit the white temple if know the road direction could be useful and other interesting sights in chiangrai plan to spend two whole days visiting chiangria and mai hong son going up there by car from chiangmai

HI

I agree, nimseesing is a great place to stay, clean and good facilities for a rasonable price

I had a mate stay at the Diamond Park last year and he spoke very highly of it.
