I had such a nice five-night stay at The Rim Chiang Mai. The hotel is a lovely boutique escape, perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle but close enough for easy exploration. My room was spacious and extremely comfortable, boasting a great balcony. The breakfast spread was impressive with both local and international options, but I found the pool to be a bit chilly. Overall, the attentive staff made my experience even better.
