I am not sure what the other guy was talking about (comment dated June 14, 2007.) I visited Chiang Mai and stayed at the very same guest house. The staff was very friendly and the place was nothing like what the comment said. It was clean and nicely decorated. The prison like atmosphere was far from real. The price was reasonable and it was not noisy like other places at all. The room walls are decorated with bamboo!! They don't have a swimming pool but I was able to use one at LaiThai one block
away as a special privilege for guests staying at RuxThai. I checked out
other guest houses in the area and decided that Rux Thai was the best option
and I ended up not regretting making that decision. I highly recommend
RuxThai to any one.

My sister and I stayed at this guesthouse in July. We booked our room online through their website, as this guest house was recommend to us by our good friend. When we got there we were surprised that there was no other charges, beside the room price (which is only 550.-Baht per night). The pick up at the airport was free of charge.

As we entered the room, it was clean, spacious, felt private, and the lighting was kinda nice, giving a warm feeling. We stayed there for 4 nights, and the whole time there the staff were friendly and helpful to us. The breakfast was delicious and not as expensive as we thought.

Also, this guest house is located in a small road (making it quiet) but still close to all the actioins in Chiang Mai. We walked from Rux-Thai to the Sunday Markets and the Tha Pae Gate using only about 5 minutes, and the Night Bazaar is only a few meters away. We really had a good time in Chiang Mai and thanks to Rux-Thai for making our stay pleasantable.

I highly recommend this guesthouse because its room is very clean, quiet, and it has spacious toilet & shower room. I really like to shower here because the water runs very strong, unlike the other guest house I stayed before where its water runs like "out of breath". The room was cleaned daily, and the maid who cleaned my room was a nice honest lady. The staff were very friendly and gave good suggestions about activities we can do in Chiang Mai. If in the future, I come to visit Chiang Mai, I would definitely stay here again.

I had a great time during my stay in the Rux Thai Guesthouse. I enjoyed the good service and the owners were friendly. The double-room where we stayed was in second floor. It was big, bright, clean and very cheap (only 500 THB). Otherwise, the Rux Thai Guesthouse has a great location. It takes only about less than 10 min. to get to the airport by car and only 10 min. to walk to the big night-bazar as well as to the weekend-market. Although this guest house is situated in a narrow street, it is safe there because the police is passing by very frequently and there is always somebody at the reception of the hotel for 24 hours. It could be uneasy to find it on your own but a tuktuk taxi driver will get you there without problems. Oh! yes, they also have a free pick-up service from the airport if you book in advance. Hope you also have a nice stay in Chiang Mai:-)))
