Him Doi House

A clean, comfortable motel not far from the main road, but it was quiet. It's handy when driving from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai, especially if you get a late start. Our ground-floor double room cost 600 baht for two. The room was refurbished, with clean linen, new towels, a very comfortable bed and pillows, AC, fridge, and TV. There's a small balcony at the back, rooms upstairs and downstairs, and parking right in front.

A quiet, safe spot for a good night's rest, close to the highway to Chiangrai. The nearby gas station has modern conveniences, and there are food options, including boiled rice for local tastes and a pizza place at the hotel. The owners are very friendly.

It's clean and everything else is great, but the mattresses are extremely hard. As an older guy, I find it really difficult to sleep on them. I bring a small air mattress, and then I can get a good night's rest. If hard beds give you trouble, this one will test you.

The couple running the place are nice, and parking is good. It's cheap enough, I guess, but the bed is so extra hard I wouldn't even call it a mattress, and the highway noise is loud. I'd booked and paid for two nights, but there was no way I could sleep there again.
