It has been two weeks since my visit, but not a day passes that I think about watching the lake during sunset and then my complete amazement at the gallery of stars that dot the night sky. I made the mistake of staying only one night during a quick tour of the northern part of Chiang Rai province, but I... more

We stayed at Viang Yonok for 12 nights, we picked this hotel from others due to the reviews written here and I can honestly say that the hotel, the hospitality and the location absolutely blew us away. Ian and Vassana (Jim) went out of their way to make our honeymoon so perfect and special. The hotel and its surroundings are... more

Viang Yonok stands out as a singularly special place. My wife and I have travelledusually 2 or 3 times a year worldwide for 37 years.....My parents took me around the world at 13 in 1961-62....so I am no stranger to hotels and resorts from an early age......This is why my review's title: 'It doesn't get much better than this....' may... more

The worry when posting a review is that, you find a hidden gem, announce it to the world and then it becomes, well not so hidden any more. However it would also be unfair not to highlight the pleasures, that made the experience such a memorable one. The Viang Yonok is one of those rare places, that can be called... more

What a fantastic location for this friendly but luxurious hotel. We will never forget the view at sunset over the lake, the wonderful food cooked by Jim & her Mum & the layout of several bungalows among all the flowering shrubs in the garden. We experienced Thailand at its unspoiled best Including cycling trips (very flat landscape & cycles lent... more

We stayed at the Viang Yonok for three nights after travelling up from Chiang Mai on a motorbike. It is a great location for exploring the Golden Triangle area and taking a trip into Laos and Myanmar. It is in a quiet location next to Lake Saen about 2km from the small town of Chiang Saen. The hotel consists of... more

It is quite hard to describe how satisfied we were staying at Yonok in November, 2008. We arrived thinking of staying a couple of nights and ended up being there more than a week. The place is magic, having the Lake as its yard. The first three nights we stayed at the smallest room, which for a couple is very... more

I don't need to say much here. There are 7 bungalows of similar size. We stayed in the smallest but it was plenty spacious. The place was very clean, the bed comfortable, the bathroom well decorated (although you get the typical instant-hot water that requires low pressure to give steaming water), and there was TV + wireless internet (not strong... more

We ended up with a couple of days to spare while waiting for the boat to China, and we ended up here. I can only agree with the earlier reviews. This is a lovely little place, next to the beautiful but unvisited Chiang Saen lake. You could easily spend a few days or more here, as a base for exploring... more
