Where is a very good place to stay for Chiang Mai’s Loy Krathong festival? How much does the room rate increase during the festival? Which hotel is near the festval place?

In 2019, Loy Krathong falls on Wednesday, November 13 (festival begins on November 11, ends on November 13). It is a light festival (or known as Thailand Lantern Festival) in Thailand on the full moon day in November.
In terms of getting to events and to the river for the night time fun, hotels anywhere from the eastern half of the Old City to the river are suitable. From Thaphae Gate to Narawat Bridge is less than a mile, an easy stroll for most. And there are activities in the Old City, at City Hall and various other places around town.
