Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort

My mother and I had a true peace during the rainy season there. We literally went nowhere. We could not remember when was the last time we were this close to mother nature. The property is a little dated and could have been maintained better but we did not mind that at all cause it was designed and built in a way we can feel it is part of the nature around it. Will definitely return and probably we try winter.

The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing! It has huge territory with few hiking trails to keep you busy during day time. Our friend stayed in bamboo hut while we opted for mountain cottage. In my opinion both were impeccable for the price you pay. The only drawback that there was no bathroom kit which would be expected from the place like this. Panoramic tub and infinity pools added to the beautiful view. The restaurant was on a pricey side but that is to be expected from a hotel. I'm struggling to find any flaws. My only wish is for the staff to pay closer attention to the dogs. They are friendly and adorable but very dirty and I wanted to scrub them clean. I definitely would recommend this hotel and would like to return there someday.

We enjoyed the setting and the cabin type feel. So good we extended our stay by 2 days. The mountain setting and the individual cabin rooms with the deck was perfect for our journey. We were able to spend time enjoying the surrounding area hiking, tours and nearby sites of interest, and especially the evening rains. We enjoyed our tea outside on our person covered deck listening to the rain showers. Perfect for personal meditation and yoga sessions. The bar and restaurant were excellent. Serving both Thai and western dishes kept everyone satisfied and wanting more. Prices were reasonable and portions perfect. Maybe a little light on the rum on some their fancy cocktails but still yummy. The spa treatment was good but very overpriced ended up using their driving service to return us back to Chiang Mai stopping to see the Black House and the White Temple. It was an excellent choice. The driver was superb and the drive in the comfy A/C minivan provided an excellent view of north TH.

Nice resort for long vacation but it hasn’t accomodation such as television

We were there for 2 nights, the location was fine, we don’t mind rough road routing into the properties. The property itself was nice but ideally a TV and a fridge in the room, at least for those who want to spend day time in the room. What upset us the most is restaurant staffs in the first morning, there was no attention given, eggs station was slow, bacon and sausage should have been prepared not cook to order. A lady at the restaurant was rude, not attentive and of course without smiling while serving nor welcoming guests to the restaurant. We almost gave up with the stay but the only one pleasant staff was Khun Klai who provided great service at our dinner and breakfast on our last day. The porter broke our luggage wheel when he dragged it on the rough road to our car instead of carry them. What a nightmare

Perched high atop a mountain ridge, beautiful large rooms, bamboo themed with 4-post mosquito netted beds and a huge balcony with thatched roof offering stunning valley vistas. Very large bathroom. great restaurant. However the buildings are looking tired and in need of maintenance - the thatching on rooftops is threadbare and exposing the substructure, ruining an otherwise superb location. No fridge in the room to cool drinks.

A place for who seeks peace and quiet gateway. Enjoy the scenery and plantations in the resort. Many kinds of flowers and trees. Room is well layout. Color coordinated nicely. Good western food, we had signature pizza and taco. (Try Thai at lunch, was ok) Hidden secret place is the pool, near sunset time, the sunlight shines with pool reflection.

Rural, amazing views, beautiful surroundings. As a single traveller I made use of their driver / guide, who was interesting, helpful and much better than trying to find my own way. The mountains are breathtakingly beautiful. The flora and horticulture fascinating.

Secluded resorts in the mountain hence it is about an hr drive from chiangrai city. Good breakfast and very close to the nature. A nice experience to have stayed there especially when we were upgraded to a better room.

Everything are great. Nice room, nice decorated, nice environment, great deep breath, sweet air when sunrise, natural sound at nice, pool in the forest is phenomenal, and combine with superb staffs. Accept hopeless dinner and meal lower than average, it's worse if compare with their price dishes were super charged compare with quailed and test. Eat outside will be the best choice for survey during stay here.

We've stayed in this resort for 5 nights and we want to stay longer :-) The resort offers a really nice view. One of the good things is, that you are away of "big tourism". It's the perfect place to relax. The hotel staff is very friendly and takes care of the guests. If it's possible, you should rent a motorbike in Chiang rai city, so you can make beautiful trips through the mountains. I was really impressed!!! We go back to the resort for sure.

A dream view, stunning and peaceful. Great food. Friendly staffs. Bit of the noises from the hotel construction, but did get the apologize at the end of the stay. Been there couple of times. Still in love! Breakfast is a bit of a let down comparing to the previous visits; less choices and same same. Since the place is built to fit the nature so the cleanliness of the place can be a tough thing to score. As long as you love nature, this's the place to be.

Great view of stunning mountain and forest. Fresh air around. Good organic breakfast . Relax spa. Staff here are very helpful. Romantic view of dinner , best sunset here. Wifi only has at reception and Resturant area.

I know that it's low season for traveling. Low vol of traveler to visit this hotel. However,overall of surrounding such swimming pool , out door table should take care as same as hing season. Don't ignor to take care all of them from time to time. 1 man of visitor is your guest. If it not high vol. to make you alert to take care all thing to show you how.....but she/he is your guest. The best service always reserve for them all the time.

stayed in the pool villa for 2 nights its was a great relxing cpl of days. By far the best hotel in my month in Thailand,decided not to ride a moped there because it was too hot and was not sure exactly how far. Wish i had my own transport to go looking around. However had a couple of quiet days in my private pool was amazing!

how to get there: we took a flight from bkk to chaing-rai. we rented a car and drove about an hour (100km/hr) to phu chai sai. once we got there, front desk manager greeted us and checked in was easy and fast. he took us to the room we booked. the room looked smaller and older than the pictures on the website, but it was cozy anyhow. however, there was a screaming noise of a family with young children from the pool below this room. we called the reception and the gm(mr steven) upgraded us to the mountain cottage. though far away from the reception and restaurant, they provided us a pickup and drop off anytime we like. (we had a rented car so we didn't bother them). our new room was amazing. actually it was a mountain cottage. we felt like we stayed in one of a house of a hill tribe villager. it was cozy, northern thai style wooden cottage. spacious with big bed and a mosquito net (not that we needed for bugs but it was helping to make it warmer at night). hot shower was strong and consistent, very good for this type of weather. this cottage offered a great view of the mountain, a beautiful fog in the morning, an amazing sunset over the mountain top. at night it was dark and quiet we could actually read constellations from the night sky. overall staffs and gm (mr. steven) were very nice, friendly and approachable. all the requests were promptly taken care of. :) food: breakfast was included in the room rate. it was nice and enough for the energy we needed for the day activities. they offered 2 styles of breakfast, thai and western. jam (passion fruit, pineapple and mulberry) and bread here were homemade. we loved their passion fruit jam and mulberry jam so much that we had to take them home. :) dinner was fresh, tasty and organic. they grew vegetable themselves organically here. (though maybe more choices in the future?)

There are many type of rooms and depend on level of room along the mountain. We're lucky to get the best top hill room which make our room has wide view and no tree cover the balcony. The best thing of this resort is about bathroom, it's a lot of space.

Phuchaisai provides a great escape for those crave for peace and nature. Every morning you wake up amidst the hills and breath in clean cool air with nice breakfast waiting. The room is comfortable and decorated in natural style making you feel close to nature even more.

nice atmosphere and good food. the accomocation is great. staffs have agreat service mind. they can cook for a good native food. in the morning you can see big sunrise and the resort and in the evening you can see the great sunset from the room.

excellent service and very large rooms made this an ideal place to stay for a few days. the private balcony and tub was very romantic for a couple. the food in the dining room was good but a bit pricey. the food was good and the fresh squeezed juices were outstanding.
