Kaomai Lanna Resort Hotel Chiang Mai

Kaomai Lanna Resort Overview

Kaomai Lanna Resort is perfect for the true nature lover. Surrounded by a big, beautiful tropical garden in Chiang Mai, the resort features unique rooms converted from real tobacco curing barns and furnished with colonial style antique furniture.

50 years ago the tobacco industry in the northern part of Thailand reached its peak, and tobacco farms and curing barns flourished. But time passed and things changed. 30 years later other developments came; the tobacco curing barns faded from the northern part of Thailand, replaced by orchards and real-estate projects. Most of the barns were destroyed but it was decided that at least a few reminders from the old days should be remain. So 18 old barns were converted into 36 lively guestrooms in a peaceful garden and became known as the charming Kaomai Lanna Resort.

Location

The resort is located at Km.29 on the Chiangmai-Hod Road, halfway to Chom thong district, a junction on the way up to Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest peak. Travelers can drop in to avoid crowed Chom thong for a coffee break or a meal at the resort on the way or during the return journey.

Before climbing up to Doi Inthanon, some people like a little adventure; whitewater rafting on the jungle river of Mae Wang is one popular option. The site is 26 kms west of San Pa Tong district (turn right at Km 22 of the Chiang Mai-Hod highway). Travelling along the winding river on a bamboo raft costs 200 Baht for 4 people.
