Panviman Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai Province


An expansive mountaintop stay overlooking a dramatically sloping valley, with opulent villas, good Thai restaurant and amenities galore. The architectural style is a blend of Lanna and Ayuthaya periods, with heavy teak structures featuring high gables. The lush grounds, luxurious spa and majestic meditation cave facilitate nirvana, while giant chess, mini golf and a kids' club mean the lkiddos won't be bored.
