A delightful family run small Thai boutique...
A delightful family run small Thai boutique hotel which is only 7 months old. Lanna Mantra is on a quiet reach of the Ping River about a 10 minute drive from the centre of Chang Mai! The landscaping in the garden was lovely, a team of gardners tend the grounds each day and they are really beautiful and create a very peaceful ambience - the large balcony of our room overlooked the lotus pond - absolutely perfect for reading a book! Other rooms overlook the large swimming pool,childrens swimming pool and river. All rooms feature a water( pond or pool(s) and river) views.
Rooms were spacious and included 'luxury' items such as tea/coffee making facilities, mini-bar, hairdryer and the TV movie channels HBO and Star Movies. Breakfast comprised of fresh fuit, a range of juices, cereals, pastries, breads, bacon , eggs, sausgages, ham, thai style food and you could order freshly made scrambled eggs or omlettes.
We loved the hotel soooooooo much, we stayed 3 weeks and plan to return next year. The owners negotiated a good rate (below hotel club last minutes rate )with us once we decided to extend our 3 day stay to 3 weeks. "Everything is done with a smile on their dials" and by the time we left we felt part of their extended family, even got invited to a family birthday party, wonderful array of food and, we light white lanterns with fire and released them into the night sky from the edge of the riverbank! Very special.
For those of you with a car, parking is available and a security guard is employed to ensure the security of the compund. Transport to and from the hotel was available, the hotel will take you to the city by car for 200 baht (aboutUS$5.00 or Australian $6.00) per car, a private metered Taxi will charge you 150 Baht, we used Taxi 41 Mr Pravit extensively over a three week period and found him to be very good and reliable. As the hotel is relatively new some local city drivers are unsure of its location, so it is always handy to take a brochure from the hotel with the address in Thai. We would encourage you to take the hotel mini van to the sunday market in Walking Street around the Tha Pae gate, it was much better than the night market..........entertainers and musicians in the streets and a wider range of craft and clothing as well as art works.
If you want "to chill" in a lovely, peaceful and relaxed environment with access to the hustle and bustle of Chang Mai you will love Lanna Mantra.
