Great place for people who like nature and quiet. The attached image is the view from the rooms. Lots of fish, ducks and other aquatic birds at this time of year. Great service, good breakfast, very friendly and helpful host. 5 minutes from Chiang Rai centre. Booked one night and ended up extending 2 more nights. Rooms have fridges, air cons, good beds, choice of big or small pillow, desks for those who need to do online work, and a kettle for that needed morning coffee or tea. Oh and the rooms face the sunrise making them cozy warm in the cool winter mornings. Fantastic place. Fantastic host.
My stay at Saikaew Resort was absolutely amazing. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable with a cozy design that really made me feel at home. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, always smiling and ready to assist with anything I needed. The location is perfect peaceful, green, and close to the beach and local restaurants. If you’re looking for a relaxing place with genuine Thai vibes, excellent service, and a true vacation feel — this is the spot. Highly recommended ❤️
The food was amazing, the rooms and the view of the pond were fantastic, great facilities in the room and a good amount of space. Owners were lovely, friendly and accommodating. They are animal lovers and I loved that. They have done everything perfectly so you can eat well - at a great price - and can book your next trip/transport etc. You can even feed the fish. A wonderful place. We wish we had been here longer.
