Four Seasons Chiang Mai

Four Seasons Chiang Mai sits in a valley of rice paddies in the Mae Rim district, 20 minutes from Chiang Mai city. The 98 pavilions and residences are designed with a palette of northern Thai craft — teak, silk, and hand-carved stone — with private pools and rice paddy views. The hotel's cooking school, elephant camp visits, and trekking programme make it the most experiential resort in northern Thailand. The Dhara Dhevi Spa is the finest in Chiang Mai.
