💗 Nimmanhemin is the hippest area in Chiang Mai. If you want to experience Chiang Mai in a hipster style, this is the place to go. The streets are filled with cafes, restaurants, and shopping spots, each with its own unique charm that captures the essence of Chiang Mai. Walking down these lanes is an absolute delight. If you’ve decided to stay in this neighborhood,

Hotelandresortthailand has a recommendation for you: “Stay with Nimman Chiang Mai.” This newly established accommodation boasts a fantastic location. Even without a car, exploring Nimmanhemin is convenient. Whether you want to visit Doi Suthep, Mae Rim, or just stroll along the pedestrian street, there are red songthaews passing by all day. You can easily hail one according to your preference (starting at 30 Baht, but prices may vary depending on the distance, so it’s advisable to negotiate). And if you have a car, there’s convenient parking available as well.

For design, it needs to be described as sleek, modern, and affordable, starting from 2+++ Baht depending on the day. I like the creativity of the lobby, blending Chiang Mai’s traditional craftsmanship with modern touches. Incorporating northern Thai lamps or tapestries that evoke a sense of Chiang Mai’s culture and craftsmanship would be ideal.

Let’s take a look at the room first. The room we’ll be staying in is a Studio Room, sized at 26 square meters, which is just right for 2 people.

Since you’re coming with a friend and prefer separate beds, I recommend the Superior Room. This room type comes with 2 beds and ranges in size from 22 to 25 square meters. It’s a great starting option for your stay.

Now that we’ve stored our belongings, let’s explore the hotel a bit. This is a city hotel with 2 buildings. There’s a swimming pool located on the rooftop of both buildings. One building has a lobby on the ground floor, while the other serves as a restaurant and café. The swimming pool is considered a highlight, offering stunning views through the glass panels.

There’s also a Jacuzzi available.

Perfect for watching the sunset.

For those who want to go to the beach but have limited time, traveling far away would waste another day off. We recommend Pattaya, near Bangkok, for easy travel. The closer you are to the beach, the happier you’ll be. Today, we chose to stay at The Zign Hotel Pattaya, located by the sea in Na Kluea Bay, Na Kluea Soi 12, right next to the Sanctuary of Truth. Let me tell you, it’s beautiful, grand, with over a thousand rooms. The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable, perfect for a blissful getaway.

Just taking the first step to experience The Zign Hotel Pattaya makes you feel incredibly happy. It’s stunning and photogenic from every angle. Inside the hotel, the rooms are divided into two sections: the villa-style accommodations and the tower zone, perfect for those who appreciate chic and contemporary vibes. These two sections are separate from each other.

The rooms at The Zign Hotel Pattaya are beautifully and simply decorated, infused with cool designs and exquisite new furniture. I really love the contemporary-concept style of decoration here. They blend Thai art and traditional craftsmanship seamlessly with modern sophistication. We stayed in the Superior Sea View room, but I’ll sneak in some pictures of other room types for you to see.

The spacious interior of the room is perfectly laid out, providing ample living space. Every convenience is readily available, making it a truly comfortable stay. It’s like everything you need is right at your fingertips. Plus, there are various room options to choose from, allowing you to pick according to your style preferences.

The highlight that you absolutely can’t miss is the Sea View balcony. The view of the sea is breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista that’s truly mesmerizing. Not only do you get to see the vast ocean, but you also catch a glimpse of the Cape of Laem Chabang, right within your line of sight. The atmosphere is genuinely beautiful, and it’s an experience that will truly delight you.

Another highlight is the large infinity pool, which is truly magnificent. The pool is divided into two levels, designed in an exotic urban jungle style. You can enjoy swimming on both the upper and lower levels. It’s safe for children to play around as well, with lifeguards stationed nearby to ensure safety. Around the pool, there are plenty of seating areas and relaxation corners. It’s a great place for a leisurely stroll because the area is genuinely spacious.

Besides the amazing infinity pool, for those who enjoy fun activities, there’s a football field and beach volleyball court available. Moreover, there are also chill-out seating areas where you can relax and enjoy the sea breeze. Whether you want to take a leisurely walk or capture some cool photos by the beach, it’s definitely a delightful experience.

Anyone feeling hungry? Get ready to indulge because this morning at the lavish and spacious Dessin Breakfast Restaurant, the food spread is absolutely delightful!

Whether you’re craving savory or sweet, The Zign Hotel Pattaya has got you covered with a complete array of delicious offerings.

Here, they truly have everything you need. In addition to what I’ve already mentioned, they also offer a fully equipped fitness center, beachfront spa, a mini-mall beach club, and various other impressive services.

I had a relaxing short holiday at The Zign Hotel Pattaya. Convenient travel, comfortable stay, delicious food. I’ve got photos to show off to my friends all year round. Definitely coming back for the next trip to Pattaya, for sure!

When thinking about visiting Chiang Rai, the first accommodation that comes to mind is ‘Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa.’ This large resort allows us to get as close to the mountains as possible, surrounded by a truly romantic ambiance. If you want to breathe in the fresh air to your heart’s content and be as close to the mountains as possible, then this is the place for you – ‘Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa’.

“Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa” is a large resort that emphasizes privacy. The hotel itself is reasonably distant from the main road, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. Though the access road might be a bit remote, it’s not challenging to navigate. Upon arrival, any fatigue dissipates instantly, thanks to the beautiful and well-maintained gardens. The accommodation buildings and lobby are impressive.

First of all, I’d like to mention the new highlight of “Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa,” which is the “Katiliya Park,” also known as an Animal Sanctuary or a sanctuary for adorable animals to relax. It’s a spacious garden with ponds and abundant trees, providing a tranquil environment for the animals. The natural habitats of these animals are preserved to the fullest extent possible. The location of “Katiliya Park” is just before reaching the resort, indicated by a signboard. Visitors can stop by to admire it before checking in, or the hotel can arrange a viewing upon check-in. Such a wide-ranging project is truly remarkable.

White swans, black swans, geese, and ducks swim freely in here.

There are also hard-to-find parrots in various colors. As for the swans, there are plenty to see. They build large aviaries with trees inside, allowing the birds to fly freely from one branch to another.

Another point that we really love is the little fawns that have just been born. They are so adorable and run around happily. When we bring milk to feed them, they come right up to us eagerly. They’re just so endearing.

At this spot, during the winter, you can even host a barbecue party.

Cute rabbits that aren’t afraid of people, especially if there are carrots around.

After spending an hour at Katiliya Park for animal and nature viewing, if you’re up for a jungle trek or a run, this place is perfect. It might take a bit longer, though. But for now, let’s head to check out the accommodations. Our room is the Katiliya Suite, which emphasizes mountain views and is incredibly spacious, spanning 90 square meters including the balcony. One of the highlights here is the room size and unobstructed mountain views. Another aspect we appreciate is the spacious bathroom, with separate areas for the bathtub, rain shower, toilet, and sink, all proportioned perfectly.

If you’re staying at Katiliya, missing out on dining at “The Terrace” would be a huge loss. Besides the breathtaking views, the food here is excellent, both in terms of main courses and desserts. Let’s take a look at the atmosphere first before discussing the culinary delights.

The must-try dish is the Katiliya Pizza. It’s a pizza with a crust that resembles thin and crispy naan bread. The sauce used on the pizza is rich and flavorful, and it’s baked in a wood-fired oven. It’s a truly delicious homemade pizza that I highly recommend ordering.

Who’s planning a trip to Chiang Mai? Raise your hand! Reading this review might get you some awesome tips for a fun trip! First of all, after booking your tickets, it’s time to choose a hotel. There are plenty of hotels in Chiang Mai, so we narrowed down our options a bit. We wanted a mid-range accommodation, something new, located in the heart of the city, beautifully decorated, and Instagram-worthy. Finally, we found exactly what we were looking for at “Wintree City Resort.” It’s just perfect in every way!

If you’re traveling, it’s better to rent a car now as the prices are cheap. Once you’ve picked up the car and it’s not yet time to check in, you can explore nearby attractions first. You can grab a bite at Maya Shopping Mall and then take a stroll around One Nimman.

When it was time to check in, the accommodation we chose happened to be in the same area as Maya Shopping Mall, which was very convenient. The hotel was absolutely charming, decorated in white and blue tones, very modern. The lobby was cozy, and we couldn’t resist stopping by the café.

The Duplex Suite Room, where we stayed, was incredibly spacious. The lower level featured a living area with direct access to the swimming pool. As for the upper level, it comprised the bedroom, complete with a bathtub and a balcony. The room was beautifully decorated, truly luxurious.

It’s a common thing for bubble tea enthusiasts to seek out bubble tea cafes wherever they go, and we were lucky to stumble upon Nakama Cafe, which serves incredibly delicious bubble tea. Personally, I find it tastier than many of the famous bubble tea chains in Bangkok. Plus, the prices are reasonable. Nakama Cafe is a small Japanese-themed cafe that has been around since before it officially opened.

Here is a route that makes it easy to visit Mae Rim, so I decided to make a stop there. Mae Rim offers attractions like strawberry fields and waterfalls.

During the period of floating lanterns, which creates a haze, we had the lights on throughout the night. The fields were beautifully adorned with Lanna-style lanterns. From around 6 p.m. until 3 a.m., there was an unlimited beer promotion at 399 baht per person, with complimentary snacks or one BBQ dish.

The breakfast here is delicious, and I must say, the rooms are very comfortable. There’s plenty of breakfast options, making the stay here really worth it.

As for amenities, there’s a swimming pool and a fitness center available.

It’s hard to find an authentic countryside atmosphere right by the riverbank in the city, but we’ve discovered ‘The Rim Resort.’ This accommodation maintains the classic Lanna style, blending seamlessly with traditional Thai elements, nestled closely with nature. As you walk through the entrance, it’s like stepping into another world where the hustle and bustle, the noise of cars and people, can’t follow you in. But as you step out beyond the gate, you’re greeted by the vibrant atmosphere of Chiang Mai city, with its exciting shopping venues, hip cafes, and nearby restaurants. If you’re looking for accommodation with this kind of vibe, ‘The Rim Resort’ is the perfect answer.

The lobby reception and pathway to the rooms are stunningly classic.

The ambiance exudes the fragrance of the countryside. The swimming pool area here is remarkably serene, perfect for relaxation.

In the afternoon, you can order high tea and sit by the poolside. This high tea set offers a variety of pastries. The Red Velvet cake is particularly delicious, especially when paired with fragrant tea. The sandwiches, fried shrimp wontons, custard puffs, and lava chocolate are also delightful.

Now that winter has arrived, the main destination for those with limited time who want to breathe pure air and refresh their lungs is Khao Yai. There are plenty of accommodations available in Khao Yai to choose from, but if you want to make your trip extra special and cater to the desires of those you’re traveling with, ‘The Private Pool Villas at Civilai Hill Khao Yai’ is the perfect answer. Luxurious, impressive, and importantly, serene, these villas offer extravagant private pools. How amazing are they? Let hotelandresort take you on a tour to find out!

If you love tranquility, you’ll fall in love here. It’s an exclusive getaway, a place where spending time feels truly luxurious. The rooms are beautifully adorned with high ceilings that create a spacious ambiance, along with convenient amenities. The highlight is the private pool, sauna, and luxurious bathtub – all elegantly designed and worth every penny. And this is just the beginning, the Pool Villa room is the epitome of luxury.

After finishing the sauna and then soaking in the tub, it’s pure bliss.

Have you ever experienced wanting to dip into the pool when staying in a pool villa, only to find the water too chilly, so you decide against it? But if it’s at The Private Pool Villas at Civilai Hill Khao Yai, this issue disappears because their pools are temperature-controlled. This is fantastic! Even in the winter, there’s no need to worry. You can comfortably enjoy a dip in the water.

Here, the service never fails to impress, time and time again. It starts with the welcome drink – a meticulous attention to detail. For instance, the glass of refreshing lemonade is adorned with a slice of kaffir lime, accompanied by a mango and lime sorbet. It’s a unique touch that stands out, and not to mention, incredibly rejuvenating to sip on.

Upon entering the minibar in the room, everything is available for consumption, with no additional charges.

We can order High Tea to enjoy in the room. Is there anywhere we can sit and indulge in some afternoon tea treats with the most luxurious view, like at our luxurious Private Pool Villas?

For breakfast, you can choose to dine at The Pavilion restaurant or order it to be served in the room. During check-in, you will be presented with a breakfast menu to choose from for the following day. You can order more than one item. It is recommended to have breakfast served in the villa as the ambiance of having breakfast by the pool is truly enjoyable.

In addition to the Pool Villa for two people that we are staying in, there is also another highlight room available, which is the 2 Bedroom Pool Villa. It offers breathtaking views that will leave you breathless.

This villa also features a temperature-controlled pool, just like the previous one. With two bedrooms, a master bathroom, and both a rain shower and a plunge pool in the master bedroom, the villa offers spacious living areas with sleek design.

The Grand Pool Villa offers privacy, and its rooftop serves as a sky deck suitable for hosting parties, barbecues, or even unique dinners.

The must-try dish here has to be the imported beef, paired with a fine bottle of red wine. Among the menu items we’ve tried and enjoyed are the special recipe chicken soup, Australian rib-eye steak, seared tuna mignon rolls, and the flavorful beef basil fried rice.

Our favorite dessert here is the caramelized mango served with vanilla ice cream, and the brownie. The brownies here are rich and delicious, providing a delightful texture with every bite.

The Pavilion restaurant is perfect for enjoying some fine wines in the evening. It’s a great way to end this luxurious trip. Cheers to many more happy travels ahead!

From a passion for wine tasting to a mountain retreat amidst nature suitable for wine indulgence, Khun Nung Wirawut Khaopul, owner of “Vino Neste Private Pool Villas Khao Yai,” has crafted a truly impressive sanctuary for relaxation. Nestled in the embrace of nature, this retreat is renowned for its distinctive architecture, natural beauty, and the essence of local fragrances that create an ambiance of warmth akin to home.

After clicking through the pictures on the website of “Vino Neste Private Pool Villas Khao Yai” ten times, the increasing desire, multiplied a hundred or a thousandfold, told us that we really wanted to go there. Later on, we discovered that the beautiful images we had seen on the resort’s website couldn’t compare to experiencing it firsthand.

Tranquil, serene, and private – this is true relaxation. Every time you step out and take a stroll, you’re greeted with fresh, invigorating air.

With a good book in hand, you can leisurely relax or sit back and admire the mountain view, watching butterflies flutter by. Breathing in the pristine air, ranked 8th purest in the world, is all you need for this trip.

The Vino One Bedroom Duplex almost makes us not want to go anywhere else. It’s incredibly comfortable inside the room. What we love the most is the design of the living area, with highlights in every corner. The round, wide-opening glass facade gives us the feeling of being in a submarine, with expansive views of the lush green garden and swimming pool. The sofa is also incredibly soft and comfortable, making it perfect for lounging.

The lower level of the Duplex room serves as a lounge area that can be converted into an extra bed, providing a more comfortable sleeping experience than the bed at home.

The upper level, on the other hand, offers a luxurious bedroom with a spacious balcony. The stunning view from here is simply breathtaking.

The Neste Private Pool Villa is a pool villa where you can swim without worrying about anyone else. This pool is yours to enjoy.

Coming to the Chateau de Vino as a family means experiencing the epitome of luxury. This two-story villa features two bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, a kitchen island for cooking, and a private pool.

At the Vin Rouge dining room, Fusion menus are served, with some dishes blending northeastern Thai flavors from the Pak Chong area. Some ingredients come directly from the pesticide-free vegetable plots of “Vino Neste” itself. For example, the spicy seafood soup, grilled pork with homemade fish sauce dipping, and stir-fried tender garlic ribs.

At Vin Rouge restaurant, breakfast is served with a set menu that changes every 3 months, focusing on fresh, organic ingredients.

Kanchanaburi is a province that offers a plethora of tourist attractions. Every visit here brings a sense of well-being, with its refreshing weather and friendly locals. With its mountains, waterfalls, and numerous other attractions, Kanchanaburi has it all. However, one place that takes the experience to another level is the “River Kwai Village.” Here, you can experience an onsen that rivals those in Japan without having to travel far. Moreover, their spa treatments are exceptional and unique, offering a highlight and surprise amidst the natural surroundings. It’s truly amazing, and the prices are reasonable, so you won’t regret spending your money here. Additionally, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy, whether you prefer relaxing activities like mineral baths, massages, scrubs, and skincare treatments, or if you’re into nature, you can go kayaking in the wetlands. For adventure seekers, there are also numerous adventure activities available. In short, everything you need for a complete vacation can be found at “River Kwai Village.”

large, spacious lobby

Our room is in the cliff wing zone, with a view overlooking the mountains and the river like this.

Inside the spacious room, there’s a truly large bed, often referred to as a special-sized bed. It’s actually two beds joined together that can be rolled apart and rolled together.

If you’re looking for a cute café to chill out, ‘Rimkwai Bar & Cafe’ has got you covered! Located riverside, this newly opened café offers delicious coffee and more. At night, it transforms into a trendy bar serving food and drinks.

Let’s check out the beautiful surroundings around the hotel together! There are plenty of picturesque spots to relax and take lots of photos.

Grab a slow-paced wooden swing seat, enjoy the view of the water, admire the scenery, and bask in the pleasant and shady atmosphere.

With up to 4 swimming pools, ‘River Kwai Village’ guarantees the grandeur of its size.

It’s time to indulge in some onsen relaxation, which isn’t located within the resort area but in another corner by the riverbank. There’s a shuttle boat service available, taking just 5 minutes to reach. The scenic views along the way are truly delightful.

Here we are at Rock Valley Hot Spring and Fish Spa, a spa hidden amidst nature. It’s not about luxury here, but about connecting with nature and relaxation from the moment you step in.

We provide changing clothes, specifically sarongs. Our staff will assist you in wrapping them securely, ensuring thickness and no worries about slipping. The changing room is equipped with lockers, hair dryers, and dressing accessories.

Today I went for a full program spa treatment! It started with a Thai massage and a facial scrub. While getting the massage, they served freshly squeezed black sugarcane juice, pure without any added sugar. It was absolutely fantastic! Refreshing and not overly sweet on the palate at all.

Before going to soak in the hot spring, it’s important to shower first. There’s a shower room available for you to use. You’ll feel refreshed after taking a shower amidst nature.

After that, we’ll head to soak in the hot springs together. What I love about this place is that it features natural hot spring pools, where all the beneficial minerals for your body and skin are naturally present. There are a total of 15 pools, each with its own unique features. They’re like the signature of each pool. For instance, there’s the sulfur pool, the red clay pool, the coffee pool, the orange peel pool, the Eucalyptus pool, the Chinese tea pool, and even a milk pool. You’ll be spoiled for choice!

The natural ambiance of the onsen is tranquil and private, which is absolutely wonderful. You’ll feel your blood circulation improving and stress dissipating. Despite having up to 15 pools, it’s advisable not to soak for too long. I think around 30-40 minutes is just right for the body.

Let’s head to the Fish Spa next! The sensation of the fish nibbling is truly delightful, better than many other places I’ve tried. It feels like dead skin cells are genuinely being removed.
