Kaofae Fanclub Chiang Mai

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We ate out of the resort twice and this was one of them.  Our tour guide recommended it as it was near the Elephant camp we were going to

No frills place but still clean and nice

Prices are one tenth of the resort restaurants and everyone said this was the best restaurant among all the restaurants we ate in in Chiang Mai!  🙂

Colonial Suites at the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Devi Chiang Mai

By | Accomodations, Travel | No Comments

Another kind of accommodation in the resort is the Colonial suite – it’s not a villa where it has its independent space and it doesn’t have its own pool, but it is still beautiful and much better than a hotel room

It is located near the main pool
