Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai Pictures

Just a quick hour's flight north of bustling Bangkok, The Regent Chiang Mai Resort & Spa is a world of its own. Located in the beautiful Mae Rim Valley, The Regent pays tribute to Chiang Mai's artistic and cultural heritage. Clusters of Lanna-style pavilions, each a roomy 70 square metres (750 square feet) and decorated with rich Thai materials and fabrics, overlook gardens, terraced rice paddies and mountain views. Eleven palatial Residence Suites housed in three or four storey villas offer master, guest and children's bedrooms with private plunge pools or rooftop penthouse and come complete with your own Mae Baan (live-in house keeper.) Close to orchid and butterfly farms, hill tribe villages, elephant trekking, an interesting and eclectic collection of shops and excellent golf courses, our guests will enjoy many new experiences, including world-class spa facilities. Each suite has polished teak wood floors, rich Thai cottons and beautiful Siamese art under vaulted ceilings and a private Thai "Sala" (covered verandah). Enjoy selections from the Pavilion Dining menu in the privacy of your own Sala. Restaurants: Sala Mae Rim the Resort's Thai restaurant, the Pool Terrace Restaurant and Bar and the open-air Elephant Bar terrace - set amongst superbly landscaped rice terraces.
