Relaxing day amidst the mountains, opening up the world to endless learning at Rain Tree Residence Khaoyai.
Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, taking it slow to immerse in the natural beauty under the shade of chamchuri trees at Rain Tree Residence Khaoyai. This resort fills our hearts with complete joy – pure air, incredibly comfortable rooms, intricate mountain views that captivate the eyes, and even the delightful chirping of small birds that become our new companions. Their melodies are truly enchanting. If we can find a book so captivating that it makes us put our phones aside, it would be perfect. Rain Tree Residence Khaoyai is a getaway in the ideal realm for nature lovers and learners. In this review, hotelandresortthailand will take you to explore the concept of a simple, heart-soothing, and fascinating retreat.
Opening up a world of learning and imagination, from the moment we entered the lobby of Rain Tree Residence, what caught our eye was the neatly arranged bookshelves. Sculptures of boys and girls engrossed in reading, along with East Asian-inspired wooden furniture, blend perfectly with the serene atmosphere of Rain Tree Residence. The lobby here is a unique and refreshing concept, unlike any other place, as it is owned by a long-established book company. They produce a variety of books suitable for children and all genders and ages.
Staying here allows you to borrow books to read in your room. There is a diverse collection, including Harry Potter series and many other interesting books.
You can borrow and read books in various corners of the resort, providing a diverse range of options for reading. We believe that besides being suitable for a hotel-style vacation, Rain Tree Residence is also designed to be a perfect place for reading or even as a remote office space.
Let’s take a look at the rooms! The rooms here are filled with charming and adorable concepts that book lovers and learners will adore. Yet, at the same time, they do not compromise on the comfort and relaxing atmosphere. For instance, the highlight of Rain Tree Residence is the “RAIN TREE SUITE PANORAMA VIEW” or the “Spectacles Room.” Each room here is named after a famous writer, featuring the writer’s signature on the door, and inside the room, there is a composition by that writer for guests to read.
The RAIN TREE SUITE PANORAMA VIEW draws inspiration from His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, offering a simple yet Thai retro atmosphere. It feels like staying in a historical palace, easy to access, warm, and comfortable. The bed is cozy, and most importantly, the view is breathtaking. If you have a good book, you can brew a cup of tea and sit by the balcony to read. After that, you might not want to leave the room. The books available in this room are written or translated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, adding a unique touch to the reading experience.
Another room that we adore is the “RAIN TREE SUITE MOUNTAIN VIEW” or the “Dr. Tom Wu Room.” This room is beautifully decorated, offering stunning mountain views. The furniture is carefully selected, combining Eastern classic and luxurious elements. The room’s concept revolves around holistic health care, covering aspects from nutrition to daily lifestyle.
The Dr. Tom Wu Room provides interesting books and knowledge related to holistic health care for guests to read. It’s a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, making your stay enjoyable.
The next room is the “RAIN TREE DELUXE TWIN BEDS” or the “Claire Keefe Fox Room.” This room is compact with twin beds and a spacious balcony offering garden views. There’s a mini-bar in the room for your convenience, and the banana chips provided are so delicious that you might want to buy some to take home. The room also includes a water bottle that you can use as a souvenir or carry along during your exploration of the hotel’s vast 42-acre property.
This room is equipped with a water bottle for your convenience during the hotel exploration. It’s a great way to stay hydrated. The room features works by Claire Keefe Fox, a historical non-fiction writer who has spent a considerable amount of time residing in Thailand, delving deep into Thai history. There are several of her works available for reading in the room.
You can order drinks and cakes from the hotel to be delivered to your room. I recommend the Butter Beer, a signature beverage in the Harry Potter series. I’ve tried it here, and the flavor is excellent with a delightful hint of vanilla. As for coffee and cakes, they are also highly recommended.
Rain Tree Residence Khaoyai is also an eco-friendly Green Hotel that emphasizes environmental friendliness. For instance, they provide reusable water bottles in the rooms for guests to refill at various points throughout the hotel. These bottles are made from recyclable plastic, contributing to environmental sustainability. Water is also available at different points for guests to refill.
The water bottles in the rooms are glass bottles, reducing the use of plastic. Additionally, the hotel is committed to environmental conservation by implementing energy-saving measures. They also recycle used towels and turn leftover food into compost to fertilize their vegetable garden.
The hotel features a total of two swimming pools. The main swimming pool is a conventional pool, while the other is an infinity pool, styled amid large trees and built on top of a high-rise building. The infinity pool offers a scenic view of the mountains from an elevated perspective.
The other pool is located in the back zone, and this area is referred to as an interesting learning center. It serves as a space often used for meetings or seminars and is suitable for organizing activities for children as well. There are science rooms that encourage learning about planets, including the fascinating world of dinosaurs, and various cartoons. For parents who wish for their children to relax and gain knowledge at the same time, Rain Tree Residence seems to fulfill these needs exceptionally well.
The resort offers interesting activities for guests at no additional cost, such as the Constellation Art Workshop. In this activity, you can create artistic representations based on your zodiac sign. It’s a great opportunity to unleash your creative ideas and produce unique pieces of art. During the nighttime, you can use projectors to simulate constellations, providing a captivating view for everyone. This adds a delightful touch to the overall experience.
In addition, the resort also offers guided tours around the area. One of the notable tours is the Arkimidis Spiral, which has numerous benefits in terms of practical applications and contributions to the environment. This includes the operation of oil drilling rigs and the transportation of water from low areas to irrigation reservoirs.
The jungle trekking activity is available in the morning before breakfast. During the trek, the staff provides excellent explanations about the local ecosystem, including the flora and fauna in the area. The walking distance is not too far, taking no more than 1 hour. The trek is not too challenging, although it may be a bit busy. The staff prepares mosquito repellent for participants. While trekking, you may encounter wild chickens and unique birds, making it an interesting activity. Children aged 5 and above can also join in this captivating experience.
The library here is truly fascinating, offering a vast array of books across various genres. You can freely borrow and read books in different corners of the resort, whether it’s in the tranquil library room, amidst nature, on a comfortable sofa outdoors, or using the provided chairs. The resort ensures that you have multiple options to choose from, allowing you to read in a setting that suits your preferences.
