Accommodation & Visa
Staying in Chiang Mai during your course
Many students choose to stay in Chiang Mai’s Old City (inside the historic moat).
It is convenient for shopping, cafes, temples, and evening walks after class.
There are also quiet hotels near the school in Saraphi for students who prefer a calm environment and want to focus on study.
Recommended accommodation options
CCA does not operate its own accommodation, but we regularly work with several guesthouses and small hotels that many of our students use.
Please contact each place directly to check prices and availability and to make your booking.
1. Number 4 Old Town (inside the Old City)
A simple, good-value guesthouse located inside the Old City, within walking distance of Chiang Mai Gate and many local markets and restaurants.

Some guesthouses, such as Number 4 Old Town and 60 Blue House, can arrange an airport pick-up for around 200 THB.
If you are interested, please ask the guesthouse directly when you book your room.
Daily transport to the school
CCA Thai Massage School is located outside the city center, in a quieter area of Saraphi.
- Each course day, we provide a shared car or van from a meeting point in the Old City to the school in the morning, and back after class.
- Pick-up is usually near Chiang Mai Gate or another central Old City location.
- This shuttle service is basically free of charge for CCA students.
If you stay at a hotel far from the Old City or outside the usual pick-up area, please contact us in advance.
We will discuss the best way for you to come to the school each day.
