Rainforest Boutique Hotel

Low key and hidden away

No pic at the moment -- Sorry!

What we say:

Set down a quiet soi east of the Ping River and a 25-minute hike from the old town, Rainforest is a relaxed, romantic spot with rooms that go above and beyond for the prices.

Although it's a fairly large place with 70 rooms in total, the grounds are filled with gardens and the hotel maintains a cosy atmosphere. Spotless rooms come in a few different styles, but all are clean, elegant and discretely decorated with Lanna art. All also come with comfy beds, fridges, cable TV, included WiFi, air-con, coffee and tea, stylish bathrooms with tastefully colourful tiles and dark wood bureaus.

Standards have a luxurious feel and offer adequate space although only one small window, and walls are on the thin side. "Rainforest" deluxe and luxury rooms are in a separate wing and these boast more space, sitting areas, polished hardwood floors and freshly cut orchids.

A small but inviting pool, spa, and spacious restaurant sit between the standard and luxury wings. Food is good and reasonably priced.

Staff are relaxed and helpful, and a quality buffet breakfast is complimentary for all guests.

Rainforest isn't a good choice if you want to be centrally located, but it does offer a free shuttle to the night bazaar and quickly arranges tuk tuks and songthaews at all hours.

To get here, head east down Charoen Muang Rd from the old town, take the first right down Soi 5 after the railway station and continue down the lane for 100 metres or so.
