Burapa Boutique

So apart from my flight. Expedia got my hotel right. Burapa Boutique Hotel is awesome. We were greeted by Nippon and Thim, great hospitality, honestly couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Our family suite was contemporary and modern, my only wish was if they had a pool. Other than that we were able to get around and sight see all over Chiang Mai. Nippon was gracious to setup everything and also get us a private red car and driver for 2 days and little over 24 hrs of driving for about 6K baht. We went to a dozen destinations some over 2 1/2 hours away. Nippon exceeded our expectations and allowed us to appreciate what Chiang Mai has to offer, definitely coming back because of him.

Its very cosy and homey feeling...hotel is run by family and they are very friendly and helpful. U can rent a motorbike or car by requesting it thru the hotel and they'll find the transport at good rate

Lovely new property! Chose this place because it was close to where friends of mine live -- it's in a suburban neighborhood of brand-new little mansions, older family homes, and somewhat too many vacant parcels of land no doubt being held by speculators riding the Thai real estate bubble . . . but I digress. Those desiring a quiet and pretty hotel need look no farther. You'll almost never see a tuk-tuk or a sorngthaew, and taxis in Chiang Mai are few and far between, but if you don't have a car, no worries -- Uber and Grabcar drivers are thick on the ground, and cost less than taxis anyway. No breakfast service, although there's a small basket of goodies in the room (e.g., instant noodles) for which there's no minibar charge! -- and there is a food delivery service. But with a host of shamelessly cheap and shamelessly good noodle restaurants and cafes in the immediate vicinity, why bother? Just one thing to beware of: Liquid hand soap and shampoo are kept in cute little ceramic vases, and I was a bit worried about dropping one while in the shower, so make sure your hands aren't soapy while handling them . . .
