Volunteer workers who come to Chiang Mai for vacation or counseling often stay at guesthouses, which are cheaper than major tourist hotels. While some accommodations are a fair distance from our office, it is usually quite easy to use public transportation to get to the counseling center by telling the driver to "go to the soi behind the old Big C." Expect to pay about 150 baht for a "tuk-tuk" (three-wheel taxi pronounced "duke-duke") or songthaew (red truck taxi) to go across town. The following are low budget accommodations you might want to consider. This list is not intended to slight other providers of accommodations.
