Kaomai Lanna Resort, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Kaomai Lanna Hotel and Resort is a unique boutique accommodation on the route from Chiangmai to Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand. Our rooms are renovated from the former tobacco curing barns, decorated in contemporary Lanna style with colonial style teak wood antique furniture.

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.

In the garden, swarms of butterflies fly around the flowers. Through the bushes, squirrels and small birds move along the branches.
On the ground, many varieties of palm trees abound along with wild orchids hanging from giant trees, big clumps of bamboo and several kinds of tropical plants.

Looking at these barns from the outside, one can see the roofs made of corrugated steel sheets and the old red-brick walls, unchanged throughout the past 50 years. Step inside however, and you have entered a new world- - two storey guestrooms decorated in Thai contemporary style, each equipped with modern facilities including a television, refrigerator and bathtub.

The upper and lower level rooms are furnished in two unique ways. While guests on upper flowers will experience the Thai tradition of sleeping on a mattress set on a raised teak wooden floor, Guests on the lowers floor will find their rooms furnished with authentic teak wood antique beds.
