The chef is very good, the environment is elegant, it is pragmatic rather than high-end, and every experience is worth going! Be pragmatic.

The location is not far from Nimman. You can book a hotel shuttle to take you to the alley. The breakfast is delicious and the swimming pool is recommended. I will consider buying again!

The price of klook is more favorable than the actual store price, the location is easy to find, and the QRCODE exchange is convenient. I will consider buying it again

big and clean room. very quiet and convenient location. friendly and helpful staff. i gave feedback that aircon was not cold. they checked and provided extra key card to ensure that aircon continues to run for 24/7. provided fan when i complained again aircon was still not cold to my liking. my only complaint is that the hotel is not manned 24/7. felt very insecure from midnight to 7am since there's no receptionist to take care of emergencies during the night. luckily nothing happened.

They are very professional and good at massage. The center has a good old-fashioned Chiang Mai feel, and the atmosphere and sensitivity techniques during the massage are also good.

Very comfortable experience, and the service was excellent! This time I chose the 2-hour plan, which included body exfoliation, oil massage, and a 20-minute milk bath.

Go a bit earlier to avoid crowds and would be nice to have a more specific pick up time, waited 30m

I've been to Relax Express several times now, and every time has been fantastic. Very relaxing, but also deeply moving. I'd love to come back.
