Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort & Spa Chiang Rai

This spa resort is an oasis of spirituality for city dwellers seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. One cannot help but be impressed by the beauty and tranquillity of the natural setting. 34 rooms are made of bamboo, and are void of television sets and electronic alarm clocks. In the warm embrace of Mother Nature, many can make peace with their inner selves. There is a lobby, restaurant, bar, pub and disco in the hotel. Conference facilities are available, as are room and laundry services.

All of the 40 en suite rooms have a king-size bed, a private, covered balcony, air-conditioning and a minibar and hairdryer. The rooms also include tea and coffee making facilities and bathroom toiletries, as well as bathrobes and sandals and IDD telephone. Some of the rooms also have a TV set.

The open-air restaurant with a panoramic mountain view of Doi Mae Salong offers an extensive yet simple menu (but not too simple). Most vegetables and herbs are grown organically on the property, with the goal of becoming as self-sufficient as possible. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available.

The swimming pool is modest, perhaps better described as a wading pool, but is beautifully designed. There is also an outdoor lounge next to the pool with a fully stocked bar. Guests can also enjoy massage and spa treatments.
