Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Stunning Lanna-inspired architecture by Boonlert Hemvijitraphan
- Peaceful riverside location that feels like a true escape
- Exceptional breakfast with a la carte options (no sad buffets here)
Hurtig oversigt: It’s a 25-minute drive to the city center, so if you want to stumble home from a bar at 2am, this isn't for you.
Anmeldt af @dfmarin: I honestly didn't want to leave. The mix of Lanna heritage design and modern luxury is perfect. My favorite part was just sitting by the river with a coffee, listening to the birds. It’s the most peaceful place I’ve stayed in Chiang Mai.

Reality check
The ground floor pool suites have privacy issues (hedges aren't high enough) and can be buggy due to the river proximity.
- You appreciate slow travel and artisanal details over glitz
- You plan to spend significant time relaxing at the resort
- You want a quiet, romantic getaway

“I would love to request a Huen Bon Suite on the 3rd floor for the high ceilings and privacy. If that is not available, a 2nd-floor Rin Terrace Suite away from the main walkway would be wonderful.”
Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific 'resort fee', but expect the standard Thai 10% service charge and 7% VAT added to everything.
Is the pool heated?
No, but the Thailand heat usually keeps it comfortable. Note: Pool deck is closed June 2026.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Not really. The road is busy and not pedestrian-friendly. You'll need a Grab or the shuttle.
Is it adults only?
Technically no, but children under 6 are not allowed, keeping the vibe very adult.
How far is the airport?
About 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.
Do they have a gym?
Yes, a small but well-equipped gym with high-quality machines.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'river view' is sometimes a 'muddy bank view' depending on the season and water level.
💡The shuttle drops you at Tamarind Village in the Old City, which is a perfect starting point.
💡You might find a gecko in your room; it's part of the eco-design deal.
