Mai Siam Resort — Hotel in Chiang Mai Province

My girlfriend and I had a 2 night stay at Mai Siam. Upon arrival we were a little thrown off because we didn't know what to expect. However the hosts, Eric & Pranee, immediately welcomed us, showed us our very nice, spacious, and clean room, and then took us to the local market where we got to pick out some items for dinner and taste local snacks we never otherwise would have tried. We immediately knew this would be an experience that you would be hard pressed to replicate. We like the dynamic of having Pranee, a local thai, be able to communicate with the Thai people, while Eric, French, understood our Western reservations and attitudes.

The next couple days Eric & Pranee took us to nearby hot springs (which was sort of interesting but a bit touristy), and then on a waterfall excursion through a nearby hill village which was extremely interesting. Pranee's cooking was awesome for dinner and she gave us some cooking lessons while letting us pick our favorite dishes. All in all it was a unique experience, much different than being in the cities of Thailand or staying at a normal "resort". I would highly recommend if youre looking for a break from the hustle & bustle of bangkok or chiang mai and want to get a little better feel for normal Thai life as well as meet some very interesting and...

This family-run resort is an amazing deal not to be missed The rooms are spacious and impeccably clean, and decorated with exquisite furnishings. The resort is beautifully landscaped with flowers and tropical plants. You are only 5 minutes away from the San Kampaeng hot springs, and free transport is offered there if you want to go for a fun spa experience. || ||The most amazing thing about this hotel is the hosts. Eric and Pranee are such warm hosts who go out of their way to make you comfortable. The food is amazing, from the variety of fresh fruits, pastries, eggs, and great coffee in the morning, to Pranee's incredible homestyle Thai cooking in the evening. They are very knowledgeable about the area and are only too happy to offer recommendations on sights and activities. We only stayed two nights there, but wish we could have cancelled another hotel to stay longer. This is a beautiful and tranquil escape from the noise of Chiang Mai, while still within convenient travel distance to the heart...

We had a very friendly family welcome from Pranee and Eric when we arrived early. Pranee went out of her way to make some Thai food for my wife, (Issan style) which was very nice of her to do. ||The location is beautiful and the bungalow was very clean and homely. Just perfect. ||I managed to play my booked game of golf at Highlands, which is only 1km from here which makes the location perfect for staying, which is far cheaper than Highlands resort & more homely and relaxing. ||Finding Mai Siam was not a problem with todays technology. ||Breakfast was excellent, light and just what was needed to start the day. ||Eric and Pranee continued to make our short stay of 2 days here very comfortable and relaxing ensuring that we had all we needed. ||Free Wifi in rooms and Restaurant & also Plenty space for Parking ||We live in Chiang Mai City and we would definitely come back again. ||We highly recommend the Mai Siam resort...
