It certainly is a cultural landmark. It also serves probably the best breakfast in Chiang Mai.

Initially you won't know the price of things and you may overpay sometimes; however, a standard comfortable room costs around 2,500 baht per month. My room at Sakulachai Court cost 2,500 baht, and I lived there happily for 18 months. I then moved to Lanna 3 for nearly 5 years and had a great room with a small swimming pool downstairs for 3,600 baht per month. Water and electricity charges brought the cost up to just under 4,000 baht. I am happy eating Thai food from one of the hundreds of street-side restaurants for 25-20 baht per meal. My motorbike cost me 12,000 baht and 7 years later I sold for 5,000 baht. Evening entertainment can be as cheap or as expensive as you wish. During my first year in Chiang Mai I worked part-time and earned 12 - 15,000 baht per month and never spent more than this. I had a financial safety net in my UK bank account, but I never needed to draw on this. I now earn substantially more but still manage to spend just about every baht. Salaries for full-time positions range between 25 and 30,000 baht per month, and most teachers live within their means and have a very enjoyable time in Chiang Mai.
