The White House Boutique Chiangrai

Gedateerd resort, dat wel een duidelijke upgrade verdient. Ondanks de verouderde inrichting van de kamers zijn ze wel ruim en schoon. Slechte wifi en tv verbinding. Zwembad veel te klein voor veel mensen. gedateerd en op een verkeerde locatie. Ontbijtbuffet weinig keus en te veel gericht op Thaise toeristen. Eigenaar aardig en behulpzaam.

My girlfriend and I drive to Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai every two months to visit her parents. As a result I have stayed in almost EVERY hotel within a 45 minute drive of Phan and all have disappointed this fussy Westerner. That is until I stayed at The White House Boutique Resort. I was a little worried to stay here when I read the last review but that was in 2020 when it was obviously being built or refurbished because now it is excellent. I think all the rooms overlook a cute pond with mountain views in the background. Our room was unusual (in line with the boutique description) and more like a little one bedroom house. It was spotlessly clean, the towels were new-looking, the bed linen was very comfortable and clean (and I am very fussy about pristine cotton sheets) and the beds were very comfortable. We were late arriving due to shopping with parents but the duty manager gave us a call to check we were ok which I thought was nice. He helped us with our bags to our room and checked what time we wanted our breakfast delivered to our room! (yes it is brought on a tray to your room!) As you can see from the photo, it is a giant breakfast and we asked only for basic tea coffee and toast! It was all lovely. The biggest and best surprise for me was the ice cold air conditioning! I have stayed in many hotels in Thailand over the last 18 months and I have noticed that there is definitely a propensity for hotels to limit the controls on air conditioning units so you are still sweating with your bed. Not this place, I had a great nights sleep thanks to the White House. My girlfriend and I will be returning every two months so I might see you there! : )
