Thailand Hotel Reviews

Rachamankha Hotel Chiang Mai

The Rachamankha Hotel Chiang Mai is a stunning and luxurious 5 star boutique hotel in the heart of old Chiang Mai. Modeled after one of Thailand’s most famous temples this hotel features wonderful architecture and an individuality not often seen in city center hotels. 

Each of the 25 guest rooms was furnished by the owner using antique furniture and objects d’art from his own personal collections, and hence each room has its own theme and style. Whether you stay in a Standard Room, Deluxe Room or Suite you’ll be treated to some of life’s little luxuries, such as free wireless internet, daily mini-bar, satellite TV and DVD player, plus a library of DVDs to choose from for free.

Speaking of libraries, the Rachamankha Hotel Chiang Mai Library is a beautiful little space to sit and read one of the many books on offer, catch up on daily news, or use one of two complimentary use PCs with internet access.

The hotel’s restaurant is very popular even though you’re in the old city of Chiang Mai and have many restaurants to choose from elsewhere. And the swimming pool, set within one of the hotel’s courtyards, offers a peaceful and private sanctuary, complemented by the hotel spa, and pool bar.

Foreign embassies in Thailand

A full list of all embassies and consulates in Thailand

There are  number of situations in which you might need the assistance of your embassy while overseas- Maybe you lost your passport, overstay your visa, need legal advice or assistance. Although we hope this doesn't happen, if you get arrested, your embassy or consulate is probably the first place you should call.

On a brighter note, perhaps you want to get married in Thailand in a romantic Lana-style wedding in Chiang Mai. In this case you would also want to contact your embassy, particularly if you were thinking of bringing your sweetheart back home to your country one day.

With that in mind, we thought a complete list of every embassy and consulate in Thailand, listing addresses, telephone numbers and office hours might be of use.

Just about every country has an embassy in Bangkok (See the bottom of this post for exceptions), and a few countries also have consulates in various cities around Thailand. Below is a list of cities in Thailand that have consular representation of various nations.

Interestingly enough, Ireland and Venezuela do not have a diplomatic presence in Thailand. While Ireland does have a couple of “honorary consuls” in Phuket and Chiang Mai, they are very limited in the services they can provide. Consular services for both Ireland and Venezuela are handled through their respective embassies in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia.
