Smith Residence
Near Chiang Mai Gate, adjacent to Wualai Walking Street
Smith Residence is a 77-unit serviced apartment near Chiang Mai Gate with a rooftop pool offering Doi Suthep views. Walking distance to Saturday Night Walking Street (Wualai) and 5 minutes to Old City through Chiang Mai Gate. One of the best-value rooftop pool options in the Old City area, with studios from 8,000 THB.

“The original Smith property (opened 2007, after Smith Tower in 2003). TripAdvisor 4.0/5 from 183 reviews, Booking.com 7.9/10 from 57 reviews. Rooftop pool with Doi Suthep views is the headline feature. Saturday Walking Street is literally at your doorstep. But housekeeping quality is inconsistent — a Jan 2025 Booking review reported metal springs protruding from the mattress. The restaurant closes at 8 PM which is uselessly early. Several reviewers who stayed at both recommend Smith Suites (the newer 2012 sibling) over this one for better value and newer fit-out.”
