Day 12 - Chiang Mai
Morning flight to Bangkok, afternoon flight to Chiang Mai, check in to the Dhara Dhevi Hotel.
When we arrived at the Dhara Dhevi hotel (chosen more or less by lot from the two that were recommended by the high-end travel agent we used for our previous RTW voyage), we were stunned and horrified. It got worse when we saw the “rooms”, first the villa we had been assigned, and then the suite where we ended up staying the first night after rejecting the villa. It’s hard to put the reasons why into words, but this video of the suite should suffice. Add in that the premises were enormous (golf-carts to get around), the hotel is a 20-mintue drive from the centre, and we only saw two other guest during the 28 hours we spent there, you may get the picture. We went to bed determined to switch hotels first thing in the morning.
