This peaceful
area is renowned for its tranquil countryside and beautiful
mountain scenery, yet until recently, few people outside
of Thailand had heard of Chiang Mai.
In
fact, it is Thailand’s second largest city (although
only one fortieth as big as Bangkok!), founded in 1296,
and is located just south of the Laos border and the
Mae Khong River. Lanna Resort is set in lovely landscaped
gardens, located just 15 minutes drive from the international
airport in a superb mountain location. This is just
close enough to enjoy visiting all the city’s
many fascinating sights but far enough away to enjoy
the perfect peace of this lovely area.
The best time to visit Chiang Mai is from November to February,
which is the cool season. The hottest month is April and the wettest
is September.
Accommodation
With a choice of studio and one bed units, the attractive Thai
style houses are built on stilts and completely hand-made from
teak. Each features satellite TV, hair dryer, refrigerator,
bath/shower, air conditioning, international direct dial telephone.
