Kao Mai Lanna is a place with charm and style”

We live in the Chiang Mai area, so we have time to look around for special places that aren't too highly priced. Many resorts we've checked out have a more commercial atmosphere, like a place you might go for a conference. But Koa Mai Lanna has the charming, intimate atmosphere we look for in a getaway. We enjoyed special touches like the pond with fountains in it, with wooden decks jutting into the pond. We sat there and read, talked and relaxed for hours. The pool has a jacuzzi attached, and the attendant always turned it on for us after our swim. We also enjoyed bike rides in the countryside that starts right outside the gates of the resort. It is a quiet place, yet there are many interesting sights to visit only a few miles away. We'll be going back.

Perfect retreat for getting away from it all”

This was the second time we had stayed at Kao Mai Lanna and felt something was missing this time round. Felt that the staff didn't really understand that we were non-yoga guests and therefore seemed bemused by us being there. Sometimes we waited for half an hour before they realised we simply wanted breakfast and then pointed us to the other restaurant. Pool and location were brilliant and it was a quick 10 minute walk to the town for some street vendor food which is always amusing for the locals, there is also a Tesco Lotus and 7-11 there. This is predominately a yoga cum relaxation resort and a good base for exploring the national parks or Doi Inthanon Mountain NOT if you want to go into Chiang Mai as that's 30-40min by taxi.

A great place to chill out”

I wanted a place to completely chill out & this certainly fit the bill. The rooms were lovely & spacious with very comfy beds. The pool area was fabulous. The restaurant had a good selection of dishes & breakfast was very nice with lots of choices. The day spa massage was good. I also did a yoga class which was ok. The mosquitos were in plenty supply & the satellite TV wasn't working but this place was great for an escape. It is about an hour's drive from Chiang Mai but worth the effort to get to if you want to relax & enjoy some serenity.

Relaxing plus all facilities you need”

I stayed here for 1 night with my family. 5 of us had received an excellent take care. Staff are very helpful and have service mind. I chose Sunday night so I can enjoy live music at the garden. It was outstanding from any other hotel. At night, we had dinner at Poleang Bistro. The food’s price is reasonable. Everything was tasty. I would love to tell my friends to visit here

Paradise ”

Best time to go is December to February. It is the winter time. Also this resort supports charity activities. We bought a greeting card made by the kids from charity organization sold at this resort.

Unique and convenient resort”

Enjoyed stay; About forty to forty five minutes from Doi Inthanon park entrance; can't miss the highway marker! The pool and spa looked very inviting, but didn't have time to enjoy them. Great if have a car, otherwise could be remote and would need to eat all meals on site. Very interesting history and architecture of rooms with a number of unfinished barns on site which makes one appreciate the creativity and cost that went into turning it into a nice resort.

beautiful Thai hotel ”

We spent a very pleasant night in a comfortable and beautiful room with old furniture; it was far from the main road and quiet. We enjoyed the food and appreciated the wine selection. A few days later we came back for diner. The staff is friendly and helpful. Mosquitos would be a pest without staff attention (burning in the dining room and spraying in rooms).

Beautiful and peaceful resort”

A beautiful hotel giving an impression of European style with lanna decoration. When we were there some fashion shooting was on the location which can confirm how lovely this place is. Anyhow the food was not so tasteful despite a good decoration. And beware of mosauito, they are huge and abundant when you stay outside during the evening and night.

Unusual Hotel set in fantastic grounds”

We booked 2 rooms for myself and my Daugter, We wanted a swimming pool but when we arrived there pool was damaged (some missing tiles with sharp edges) loverly pool will be fixed by August 2011) they eventually let us use pool at our own risk. Accomodation in this ex Tobbaco factory is in the old curing sheds nice rooms though a little tires the whole setting is loverly and relaxing. The food is great. An excellent stay for the price we paid would go again.

Beautiful, quaint villas for Thailand”

Beautiful rooms set in a lush green garden. Feels very European. Food was great and the staff friendly.

Nice resort”

My friends and I arrived the resort at late night. I stayed alone and cannot sleep well. The bed is put in the middle of the room which made me feel very uncomfortable. That's why I cannot sleep very well. However, the resort is very nice to turn the old tobacco building to the resort. THe staffs' performance and hospitality is very good.

Above average”

To HIGH price for the the room, looking old stile, Nice pool but I couldnt order a sandwish to the pool. Only a beer! Must walk to restaurant 1,5 km away.They tried to do it like a many stars hotel. Personal very slowly like dont know how to service a dinner. They forget to make my dinner. Have to wait 30 min. Food thaistyle they could do, but not well cooking western style. My mother in law, and d my father in law have difficult to walk. My mother in law is infant and sitting in a wheelchair and NO INFORMATION about a lot of steps around the resort and room. You know NOTHING when you order. Phonenumber you get in the confirmation after paying. Not refundable! Brekfast only 8 to 10 am.SHORT TIME!! The place i nice and interestering, but I should say only two stars resort.Personal, the staff, have to learn a lot about sevice

Nice quiet resort”

Very peaceful resort with good breakfast choices. Need to take more care of garden but there were so many people working on garden so hope it gets better. In room many mosquitoes, mosquito repellant in room would be very helpful also better shut the doors while cleaning. They have very good selection of Thai food room service which was plus.

Very good”

Given information by hotel staff that the resort will be under renovation soon, we therefore reduce our expectation to the place. In general the resort is fine.

Good view and shady hotel”

This hotel is very unique hotel where you can find a good place for resting. It has a very good view, shady and cool area. Breakfast is simple but great taste.

Countryside Pleasures”

A very unique hotel and one of its kind in my 40 years of travel. Service is great even thiough it appears deserted. We truly enjoyed the peace and quiet just about everywhere we go in the hotel premises. Enjoyed the dinner with the local ambience and decor. Food was surprisingly good since we were the only table. Would like to see the rooms refurbished and with normal beds on the uppper floor. We would like to come back and bring along our children to enjoy the pleasant experience.

Green and clean”

You are in a big hug of Green color from grass and tree. Wake up and snort fresh air. It is really fresh.Espeacially in December. Cause it is not only fresh, it is also cool.You can feel winter feeling here. Staffs are very nice with warm hospitallity. Please come to feel this feeling same as me.

Beautiful Interior and special exterior concept”

The hotel in located 30mins drive away from Chiangmai city. A beautiful and peaceful place. The room interior is beautiful decorated to help anyone rest and relax! Guests enjoy free yoga lesson conducted in english by the yoga master every morning.

Very natural with local style of Chiangmai”

The room and decorations were very good. Staff's service was very nice. I recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy both Chiangmai city and Jom Thong (Doi Inthanon) because the location was half way between.

A little isolated but nice surroundings”

When we first got here I was a little disappointed as the rooms looked a little dated, but that bisn realln what attracted us to this resort initially, and own reflection it was a very. Charming place, full of teak wood and green areas, very similar to Europe. A little isolated and had together taxis everywhere, but if you what a totally relaxed holiday, this is the place
