Chiang Mai Hotels & Resorts - Tamarind Village Resort and Spa

Before I arrive at any destination I usually make a list of all the places to visit, but I'm always happy to deviate from the plan and stumble upon unexpected discoveries. On this trip, I have bumped into quite a few very nice resorts, and Tamarind Village is one of them. Located right in the old town, this resort is an unexpected oasis in the middle of the city. You arrive at the resort through a bamboo covered driveway from Ratchadamnoen Road, or a long covered walkway from Rachpachmai Road. Once you reach the reception, you are presented with a beautiful courtyard which look like a place outside of time. The resort has a timeless quality that is very rare in this modern, restless and forever changing age.

The architecture is vernacular but done in a tasteful and understated style. Long covered walkways link the reception wing to the accommodation. These long corridors and verandahs become the main architectural character of the resort.

The reception area. Pretty low key.


The quiet, timeless feel of the resort is quite captivating.


The restaurant.

The Tamarind Village is one of those places that make you feel relaxed once you arrive. Should be on top of your list if you are looking for quiet escape in Chiang Mai, and is yet within walking distance to all the attractions.
