Built 125 years ago as the headquarters of the Borneo Trading Company, the 137 Pillars House is a beautiful teak wood building that has been carefully restored to reflect its 19th Century origins.

Perched on a ridge overlooking the hills of Myanmar and Laos, your private balcony opens onto the rolling terrain of three countries.

Spacious Lanna-style pavilions overlook terraced rice fields and the mountains of the beautiful Mae Rim Valley Accommodation is in beautifully appointed “pavilions”, each with a private covered verandah, and luxurious “residences”. The resorts décor is in a style consistent with a luxurious northern Thai home. The magnificent Sala Mae Rim, with its high teak wood ceiling, serves sumptuous Thai cuisine.

15 free-standing tented accommodations spaced at a comfortable distance from each other allow total privacy. Built on elevated ground along a one-kilometre (0.6-mile) hillside trail overlooking the Ruak River, Burma, the mountains of Laos or the jungle and Golden Triangle, each tent is designed as an open space with a large outdoor deck. Furnishings are handcrafted and custom-made, in styles reminiscent of 19th-century adventure expeditions. Each tent features one king or two twin beds.

The property is spread over 60 acres of serene, natural landscapes, incorporating picturesque rice paddies, tropical hardwoods and exotic plantations. The Resort’s design draws from authentic Lanna structures - found across Northern Thailand, South China, Laos and Myanmar - and colonial splendour. Traditional wooden rice barns, ornate temple-like structures and magnificent colonial mansions have been erected in clusters, providing luxury accommodation, restaurants and recreational areas.

The antique villas, over a century old, exhibit the refined residential style of Central Thailand. Restored and on stilts they possess roof tiles of handmade clay.

This very modern, centrally located hotel, has only been included because the site of the hotel is the compound of the former British Consulate in Chiang Mai, within which the main Consulate building, dating from the 1920’s, has been retained and integrated within the hotel design. The lobby of the hotel is centred on the existing house, set in a landscaped court with a large reflection pool separating the new and old buildings. The restaurant and the bar are situated in the free standing original wooden consulate building.

Walking distance from tranquil and scenic Pai township, this peaceful resort is set in a vast expanse of rice fields and with views of distant hills. Cottage style accommodations are built largely of wood with wooden roof tiles.

Owned by a well known Thai designer and architect, the property is a creation of love and a treasury of Lanna art and Chinese antiquities. The combination of Lanna art and interior design, and the temple style architecture, has created a haven of peace. Inspired by the viharn (chapel) of one of Thailand's most beautiful temples, the hotel is planned according to ancient principles of Chinese architecture, the roots of Thai architecture. The interior design is based on northern Thai Lanna culture, which is a combination of the Chinese, Dai, Laotian, Lua, and Burmese cultures.

The Rain Forest Resort offers luxury accommodation within the wonder and uniqueness of a Thai tropical rainforest. Situated near beautiful Kangsong Waterfall, the resort is surrounded by National and Historical Parks of Northern Thailand meaning that this pampered retreat is within the realms of the natural environment.

The well-designed cottages, fully in harmony with nature, have modern comforts and are nestled discreetly throughout the resort, making the Rain Forest Resort the ideal retreat for nature-lovers. The bordering Khek River offers excellent swimming and rafting as well as wondrous views of waterfalls and tropical vegetation.
