Na Nirand

Chiang Mai


A magnificent, giant, century-old rain tree anchors this romantic boutique property perched at the edge of Mae Ping. A restored teak house contains the spa and a small library, while posh villas flank a relaxing swimming pool and are defined by ornate woodcarvings, Lanna textiles and rattan furnishings made by local artisans. Bathrooms are huge, with freestanding tubs and rain showers.

The resort restaurant, TIME Riverfront Cuisine & Bar, serves tasty fusion dishes and offers a pretty setting right on the river, beside the magnificent rain tree.
