Top San Kamphaeng Hotel Reviews
Dusit Princess Chiang Mai
"Upon checking in one of our rooms had a leak and the staff were helpful and offered us a new room. The hotel is well maintained and clean. Very convenient if you want to go to the Night Bazaar.The scent when you enter the hotel lobby is quite strong. Other than that our stay was excellent and I would recommend this hotel."
The Experience Walking Street Chiang Mai
"Great location, all walking spots on your doorstep. Staff were friendly and helpful and food was brilliant!"
RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort
"Rooms are spacious and spotless. We love the connected rooms that made our family trip so much easier. Staff at front desk and the spa/pool are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good but got a little bored with it the third morning. The entire hotel displays a great sense of arts throughout the lobby and rooms with its decoration and culture display. The pool is amazing but there’s a little safety risk with the small step under the pool where my child hurt her toe. A warning along the pool may be helpful to alert swimmers."
InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping by IHG
"Good view and staff is very helpful"
Lanna Oriental Hotel
"Stayed in the Lanna Deluxe Room which was supposed to have a double bed but was a king!!!😃 Room and hotel were clean, bed was very comfortable, bathroom was big with a huge shower and room was very quiet. Pool was decent as well. We didn’t eat at the restaurant on site but rather ate at GoodSouls Restaurant which is a 3 minute walk and was better for us since we are plant based. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to Chiang Mai."
Shangri-La Chiang Mai
"Our stay as a family of 6 was truly exceptional. The hotel has a zen quality and there were activities for each member of our family. The staff is exceptional. The rooms are luxurious. If you can, get the Horizon level. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return."
Melia Chiang Mai
"Amazing staff and amazing breakfast buffet. Very clean and spacious rooms"

Pocket Guide: Chiang Mai Province San Kamphaeng Hotels
San Kampaeng is a district to the east of Chiang Mai which is most famous for its silk umbrella industry and a wide selection of outlets selling lovely handmade jewellery and souvenirs. The district is also home to golf courses, a holy cavern complex and curative hot springs. Due to the diverse nature of San Kampaeng’s attractions it is a rare occurrence for tourists to pass up the chance of visiting.
Don’t MissThe so-called Handicraft Highway and Bo Sang Village are the most important of San Kampaeng’s tourism delights and only 12kms from central Chiang Mai. Heading away from the populated areas towards Mae On and its outdoor activities venues, the route passes the entry roads for Muang On Cave and San Kampaeng Hot Springs. The cavern complex features a long serpent-sided stairway and a large number of shrines. Two hot springs locations provide bathing in rejuvenating waters.
For golfers, the Chiang Mai Highlands Golf and Spa Resort boasts one of the best courses in the country and has stunning views from every fairway and green. In the Tonpao sub-district of San Kampaeng, a well-designed mini-golf course provides fun for the whole family. Wat Pa Tung is the finest of several Buddhist temples in this area of Chiang Mai province.
Restaurants and BarsEating options in San Kampaeng District are primarily limited to Thai cuisine although there is the occasional restaurant with an expatriate co-owner with Italian or Swiss dishes on the menu. The small restaurants serve the usual staples of noodle soups and rice dishes with spicy meat. Choosing a larger establishment usually provides more choice, with gourmet freshwater-fish dishes and other specialties available. Most eateries sell alcoholic drinks, but there are few bars in the vicinity.
ShoppingShopping is the principal reason many visitors travel to San Kampaeng and the choice of quality handmade articles is truly amazing. Products sold in San Kampaeng are generally cheaper and more varied than in Chiang Mai’s Night Bazaar or shopping malls. Silk parasols and fans with bamboo frames are the typical Bo Sang memento. Other excellent San Kampaeng souvenirs include celadon pottery jars, wood carvings, ornate lacquerware, silver jewellery and sa paper notebooks and greetings cards.
