We stayed one night at Shangri-La for the Loi Krathon festival in November. The hotel is just off the highway and very easy to access by taxi from the airport. The staff was very professional, the room modern and tidy. We had a direct view over the river and really enjoyed it. The breakfast buffet was amazing, tasty and diverse. The hotel is just by the river with a public pier just 5 min walk away, very convenient to catch a boat and see the historical places in town. It also organised a firework over the river for Loi Krathon just in front of the hotel. It was so close and amazing !
