Wiang Indra Riverside Resort

The staff were helpful and gracious. The morning breakfast was very good. The scenery at the pool was great. The water was clear and refreshing. The pool was large enough to accommodate children and adults alike. The view from the room was very nice. It took in the gardens and grounds to the pool and beyond to the River. The interior of the Main Reception down to the Restaurant must have had some glorious programs in the past for the King and his family.....it looked that elegant.

The Resort was once beautiful and the envy of Chiang Rai. Royalty and High Society must have had great times there in eras gone-by. But now, it needs a lot of Tender Loving Care (TLC). It is old and run down in some sections of the grounds. The sidewalks are decaying. There is no lift at the resort... so if you are not fully able bodied, you are in for some treats negotiating up to 3 flights of stairs...... When we first arrived to the room, one of the first things I noticed was the Brown water coming out of the tap...not a good sign....and same from the Toilet. That evening, the shower did not have enough pressure to put out a good stream. By morning, the water had cleared some and a shower was possible. Significant capital investment is needed to update the place. There is not sufficient traffic for the hotel to make money and they struggle (my opinion) to keep the doors open.... I do hope they survive..... it has an interesting history .... but has fallen on hard times.
