North Thailand and Chiang Mai Guesthouses Curated just for You
We want to share the best of Northern Thailand with travellers and holiday makers, and so the idea came to us that to create and share a collection of quality North Thailand and Chiang Mai guesthouses would be a really useful service to visitors to our beautiful country. As hoteliers, and part of the Secret Retreats Boutique Hotel Collection, we realized that the budget sector, guesthouses, boutique resorts, homestays and inns, was somewhat ignored by the travel industry. With the owners and hoteliers behind budget hospitality experiences left to fend for and promote themselves. We noticed that for travellers to Thailand who are looking for budget holiday accommodation, perhaps a Chiang Rai resort, maybe a Mae Hong Son guesthouse, they are faced with the task of trawling through the literally 100s, and for some northern Thailand destinations 1000s, of Northern Thailand hospitality offerings, guesthouses, inns, resorts and homestays. And from the professional side, we could see how hard it was for the owner of a cool guesthouse Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai b&b or Pai resort to get found or seen in an online search. With so much competition from all types of accommodation and all standards of accommodation, many of the gems of Northern Thailand’s guesthouses and budget accommodation become hard to find, resulting in hoteliers not getting the bookings they deserve and guests not finding the best guesthouses, homestay or boutique resorts for their possibly once in a lifetime trip to northern Thailand. And so the idea for Secret Boutique Guesthouses was born. We have searched high and low, using our contacts and long experience in hospitality in Thailand to select and curate the best guesthouses in Chiang Mai, the ultimate Pai resort, the best Chiang Rai guesthouse, the choice of the guesthouses in Nan and the must stay guesthouses in Northern Thailand’s National Parks. Secret Boutique Guesthouses Northern Thailand Collection, is the Ultimate shortlist for quality budget holiday accommodation and offering uniquely Thai hospitality experiences.
The best places to visit in Northern Thailand while staying in the best guesthouses
A list of the best places to visit in Northern Thailand has to start with Chiang Mai, the capital city of the north, or The Rose of the North as it is known locally. Taking a guest house in Chiang Mai old city is a good start. Founded over 700years ago, the old city is ringed by a moat and the remnants of the old crenellated city wall. Once the capital city of the Lanna Kingdom, the ancient culture and traditions of this once great kingdom is proudly preserved today by Chiang Mai’s people. With a unique architectural style that is still visible today in the many ancient temples found in many of Northern Thailand’s cities and towns, many of the best Northern Thailand guesthouses share this Lanna style in their own architecture and design. For lovers of ancient cultures Northern Thailand is a treasure trove of discovery, design, art, unique fabric weaving styles, cuisine, dance, martial arts and language – even today within Northern Thailand’s cities the local languages and dialects of the Lanna period are still spoken today and the gentle almost song-like sound of the staff at your Chiangmai guesthouse will add to the relaxing atmosphere that exemplifies a Northern Thailand holiday and travel experience. Ideally a Northern Thailand holiday itinerary would include visits to Chiang Sean and the Golden Triangle, a stay in Chiang Rai to explore and enjoy the vibrant artistic community that call this northern Thailand city home, a stay in the most important city of north Thailand, Chiang Mai, is also must. And the city of Nan makes a wonderfully relaxing sojourn, Lanna’s slow-life lifestyle is daily life for people here and it is home to one of north Thailand’s most beautiful temples, the delightful Wat Phumin. Of course no trip to Northern Thailand would be complete without visiting one the region’s National Parks, and a stay in Pai north Thailand, a rural town in the heart of the Pai river valley, truly a rural paradise and the perfect place to get close to North Thailand’s wild life, flora and fauna set as it is on the edge of the stunning Huai Nam Dang National Park.
