Mae Rim Boutique hotels in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Pictures cannot capture the idyllic setting of this hotel. absolutely, unbelievably gorgeous. Rushing water sounds help sleep at night, staff's english not great, so leaves some room for misunderstanding when ordering dinner, but will do anything to ensure a pleasant stay. There was a group of about 25 people who travelled there just to do yoga, the setting was so tranquil. waterfalls and river running right through hotel. Lobby and restaurant all open air. It is about 45 minutes from town, so about 700 baht for fixed rate taxi, but minutes from Tiger Kingdom, and some other activities.

Proud Phu Fah is a charming boutique hotel with fantastic design elements. We stayed here for two nights - spending one full day in Chiang Mai (downtown) and the other days taking the cooking class and going to the elephant camp. The hotel is away from the action and you really need a car to see anything. If you want to spend some time in uninterrupted peace and tranquility, this is the place for you!

Marvellous location, wonderful nature and excellent SPA. We will definitely be back soon.

If you want a nice, quiet and quaint place, go to Muang Gudi. Pool is nice. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food in the small restaurant is quite good; one of the best we had if you like authentic Thai food. Ask for a room off the main road as it can get quite noisy. Hotel is close to many attractions but you need to take a taxi and is far from the city. Getting anywhere will cost you 500 baht one way.

I booked this lodge thinking that I'll have time to stay at least one night there; however, time didn't permit so I never had the chance to stay. I tried emailing and calling the location to make arrangments for early check-in so I can at least spend a portion of my morning and afternoon there, but I didnt' receive any response. The lodge doesn't pick up phone calls until 9am; therefore, I never did get a chance to visit the facility. I would like to visit the location in the future because I'm also part of the Hmong hilltribe, but hopefully next time there will be more communication from the facility.
