Conveniently located in the heart of Chiang Mai, it offers a delightful blend of amenities and diverse activities, making it a place where visitors may find it hard to leave. In this review, we will take you on a journey to explore Siripanna Villa Resort and Spa from every impressive perspective.

For those visiting for the first time, it might be surprising to discover that Siripanna is even more expansive than anticipated. With a vast area spanning several acres, it serves as the backdrop for the hotel-style accommodations, private villas, two swimming pools, dining areas, and multiple rice paddies. The lobby is elegantly adorned with teak wood and golden accents, showcasing a distinctive style that unmistakably embodies the charm of Lanna Chiang Mai.

The activities here offer a variety, especially for food enthusiasts. If you arrive in the afternoon, don’t miss out on the dim sum buffet priced at just 239 Baht per person net at the Saliwansyan Restaurant. This price includes beverages and desserts. It’s incredibly worth it; the quality and taste surpass the price by far. Our favorite dishes are the shrimp dumplings, hagao, rad na noodles, and egg noodles. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for those who appreciate high-quality food at an affordable price.

After enjoying a satisfying meal, we decided to take a leisurely stroll and explore the rice fields. It was a delightful experience, especially as we had the opportunity to witness various stages of rice cultivation, including plowing the fields, planting seedlings, and harvesting, depending on the season. The guests staying at the resort even have the chance to try their hand at rice planting (additional charges may apply). The area boasts ancient Lanna-style granaries that are well-preserved and carefully maintained, adding to the charm of the surroundings.

You can indeed order Afternoon Tea to be enjoyed in your room, or if you prefer, you can opt to have it under the traditional Lanna-style granary while enjoying the view of the rice fields. The delightful set typically includes pastries, cakes, and a selection of hot and cold beverages. The delicious treats are presented with care, providing a delightful experience whether you choose to savor them in the comfort of your room or amidst the scenic beauty of the rice fields.

Your accommodation is a Deluxe Lanna Plunge Pool Access room, exquisitely decorated in the Lanna style. The interior lighting is designed to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, providing a sense of tranquility. This room comes with a terrace that seamlessly connects to a plunge pool. With just a few steps outside your room, you can enjoy a refreshing swim. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, adding to the luxurious features of the room.

The newly opened accommodation in the heart of Chiang Mai, near the Ping River, cultural attractions, walking streets, and a plethora of renowned restaurants and cafes, will undoubtedly elevate everyone’s Chiang Mai trip. The Maladee Rendevouz Hotel is designed with a contemporary style, blending vintage charm and modern trends into a distinctive identity. It is another Chiang Mai accommodation that is truly worth considering and reserving.

Thantara Resort Chiang Mai perfectly captures the essence of Chiang Mai, offering a complete experience as a cultural, natural, and relaxing destination. The resort blends seamlessly with its surroundings, featuring luxurious villas nestled in the heart of organic rice fields, alongside a tranquil pool, and surrounded by mountains. With a variety of activities available, Thantara Resort Chiang Mai provides a holistic lifestyle retreat, embracing the concept of “Eat Well, Live Well.” Once you stay here, you’ll wish to remain within the hotel grounds, not wanting to venture anywhere else.

The Chiang Mai Old Town makes us fall in love with Chiang Mai even more. This trip is incredibly convenient, offering luxury at an affordable price that you can grasp. What we love about The Chiang Mai Old Town, besides being the heart of Chiang Mai, is the abundance of details that make you feel genuinely cared for as a guest through heartfelt hospitality.

The guest care at The Chiang Mai Old Town is impressive right from the moment you arrive. You can conveniently park in front of the hotel, and the parking area is not only right by the road but also safe. The lobby is close by, and what’s particularly noteworthy is the welcome drink and various snacks available throughout the day. There’s a cozy lounge where you can relax, enjoy coffee, read a book, or even wait for your flight if you’ve already checked out. It truly enhances the overall experience.

The Chiang Mai Old Town, along with the unmentioned aspects, is the best central location in Chiang Mai. The accommodation is situated near a road that provides easy access to Tha Pae Walking Street. Additionally, both Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang are in close proximity. If you plan to organize a temple-hopping trip, you can cover all these temples in a short amount of time. For those who enjoy indulging in delicious food and prefer a slow travel experience, the area offers a wide selection of restaurants and coffee shops. If you don’t want to venture too far, The Vorra Bistro, the hotel’s cafe, is a cozy option. Upon entering The Vorra Bistro, you’ll be captivated by its appealing ambiance. The bistro serves a variety of coffee beverages and, in the evening, offers a diverse fusion-style menu at surprisingly reasonable prices. Passing travelers might initially think it’s expensive, but upon exploring the menu, they may find some reasonably priced options. Besides the appealing presentation, the dishes are also delicious. The seating options include luxurious indoor spaces or comfortable outdoor areas.

Wanting to break free from the stress and boredom of the routine life that feels monotonous and draining. With the upcoming weekend, I’m planning a trip to Pattaya. Even with just 2 days, it’s enough to change the mood and release the stress. Ready to go and unwind, laughing and enjoying the fun in the midst of Pattaya – eating, drinking, partying, and relaxing in the ‘work hard, play harder’ style at Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya.

Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya has a distinct concept that offers guests a chance to indulge in delicious cuisine, enjoy live music, sip drinks while admiring the Pattaya city view, and have a glamorous party experience at the Sky Bar. Guests here can immerse themselves in the concept of Pattaya, a city known for never sleeping. However, being a place of accommodation, Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya also prioritizes the relaxation aspect.

And here are our recommended menus… The beef is incredibly delicious, truly exceptional. You can specify how you want your beef cooked; ours is medium, perfectly done. It pairs wonderfully with our special seafood dipping sauce and freshly baked buttery bread. Don’t miss out on this! In addition, we offer a diverse range of fusion-style dishes, including salmon, salads, and desserts, providing a variety of options for every palate.

As for the recommended beverages… our Raspberry Coffee is another excellent choice. It’s refreshing and perfect for cooling down, providing a delightful and invigorating experience.

With Siam@Siam being a high-rise accommodation, our Junior Corner Ocean View room offers a wide and far-reaching view of the Pattaya sea. Enjoy panoramic ocean views from the bed, sofa bed, bathroom, and practically every corner of the bedroom. One of the highlights of staying in this room is the access to the club lounge, where you can indulge in afternoon tea, enjoy complimentary drinks throughout the day, take advantage of cocktail hours, and have a private breakfast in the lounge, which is exceptionally delicious.

For breakfast served in the lounge, we provide both buffet and à la carte options. You can either opt for the regular buffet line breakfast outside or choose to have a more private dining experience inside the lounge. For us, it’s a complete experience with both satisfaction and deliciousness. Especially noteworthy are the shrimp dumplings, served in small dishes but can be continuously refilled – a truly delightful option. The variety of cheeses and cold cuts is also exceptional.

The Youth Class room, though the reviewer hasn’t personally stayed, is highly recommended for those who are staying with family or as a group of three. The room is convenient and features a sea view with a balcony.

As for a budget-friendly accommodation option, the Leisure Class room is a great choice. With a size of 30 square meters, it comes with a balcony and offers both twin and double bed configurations.

The hotel boasts two swimming pools located on different floors. The first is on the rooftop, right next to the Sky Bar, providing a unique atmosphere. Both pools are infinity pools, and it’s highly recommended to experience both for a fun swimming time. In the evening, the sunset is absolutely breathtaking. Ordering a drink to enjoy the sunset view is a must. As the night falls, the bar and pool illuminate, creating a stunning city lights ambiance.

For dinner, we indulged in the dinner buffet at Big Fish Restaurant, a vibrant dining space that truly enhances the dining experience. The buffet line was so extensive that we couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. Fresh and large-sized oysters were a standout feature, alongside options like beef, lamb, and grilled seafood. The buffet also featured a diverse range of international cuisines, including Japanese, Chinese, and Italian. Moreover, the dessert selection was abundant, offering a delightful end to the meal.

For breakfast, the variety and abundance were impressive. It felt like a complete package for a relaxing getaway – staying, dining, drinking, and recharging all in one at Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya.
