Tamarind Village – Chiang Mai

A true gem, the Tamarind Village offers the perfect balance of city centre dwelling whilst providing a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai’s busy streets. Sitting just a short distance from the ancient Taphae Gate, the serene resort is within easy walking distance of many of Chiang Mai’s main attractions and temples, and just 10 minutes from the night market with the popular Sunday market right on the doorstep. The hotel exudes a historical charm unequalled, in our opinion, anywhere else in this popular northern city. Set around a series of spacious garden courtyards, rooms are furnished in a traditional Northern Thai Lanna-style, combining dark woods, cool stone and rough finished off-white walls. There is a popular spa and a particularly picturesque pool and terrace, overlooked by the hotel’s delightful Ruen Tamarind Restaurant, serving some particularly fine northern Thai fayre.
