On the outskirts of the city is this gem of a hotel with two-story teak huts surrounded by gardens, orchids and pools. Each room or granary (rice mill) is constructed out of teak with handmade and antique teak furniture. The open-air bathrooms have rain showers, bathrobes and slippers. You can choose to view the pool, river, or gardens from your elegant and luxurious room as you nibble on exotic fruit from the basket. The American breakfast starts the day�s sightseeing activities to the elephant conservatory, Wats, and trekking through beautiful countryside. The nearby hill tribes are worth an afternoon or full day visit. Lanna means one million rice fields and refers to this northern Thai kingdom founded in 1296. Just something to contemplate as you enjoy the free form pool and relax in your patio rocking chair.
