Other comments There are problems with the cafe - poor choice, equal food. If you want to buy more - prices are twice as high as in the city. Sell beer - students will stay at school on evenings :) The room does not have a mosquito net - windows are closed, air conditioning is used. In the evenings, it is not possible to be on the balcony because the water pump motor is very noisy - this is the most annoying.

The teachers are kind and the classes are solid.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Chiang Mai school is located in the countryside, so if you are staying at a hotel instead of a dormitory, you should be careful about the location.
