Here's an existing thread on the property, though no stay reports yet (there are some at tripadvisor.com, all positive).

I have a reservation there for April.

Has anyone managed to get an email reply from the property?
I contacted them at lemeridien.chiangrai -at- lemeridien.com a bit over a week ago, nothing. I forwarded the email and asked for a reply, stll nothing.
Doesn't give me confidence in thier service in advance of staying there.

Please send it to the property at the same email address.
Keep me in the loop as well. My sincere apologies

Thanks much, I've sent my e-mail for a 3rd time, will let you know what happens!
Perhaps I'm asking for too many things in my email at once (airport transfer, spa menu, etc)

Wow, you're good. I already heard back from them. It appears they tried to email me earlier but had some glitches/confusion. From the email chain they forwarded to me it look slike my questions got passed around to various folks, and somehow when they went to email me back my e-mail address got mangled.
Appreciate your help!

I looked around for a thread on this property but wasn't able to find one. Does anyone have any experience with this resort? I'm considering a few nights here at the end of March to coincide with the King's Cup Elephant Polo. Does anyone know if it is near the pitch? Is the area easy to get around if renting a car? Kid-friendly? (ages 7/10)
Pretty easy to get around by car I would say as road conditions are good around the area though you will need to figure out how to find your way to the resort as it is pretty well hidden. Saw some road signage along the way so that should help you.
As for kid friendly, it should be decent as it has a kid's club or penguin club if I remember the name correctly that can occupy their time with DVDs and Playstation consoles. Nice pool area and 24 hours gym with some daily activities and I particularly loved the deck chairs by the river.
Will definitely try to resort when I am in Chiang Rai next but it certainly looks worth staying from my brief show-around. Tell me about your stay when you get back.

I'm still two months off from staying here, but in the end I may wind up being first!?
