The location was perfect for us...it is...
The location was perfect for us...it is just far enough from the city life so that we could enjoy the quiet, relaxed atmosphere in the mountains. We live in Bangkok and were looking to get away from the city. We drove our own car and that was a plus! The resort was close enough to the city that we ate dinner there almost every evening. The grounds are well maintained and it was a taste of paradise. The rooms were tastefully decorated in traditional Thai style, they were spacious and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Our reservation included breakfast every morning and we were served a full course breakfast (we chose the American breakfast) that even our 2 and 3 year olds enjoyed. The staff was very helpful, personable, and accomodating. The resort is located near many of the popular sites: it's 15 minutes away from the Mae Sa Elephant Camp (well worth the money!), 10 minutes or less from the Queen's botanical gardens, 5 minutes or less from two orchid/butterfly farms, 5 minutes from the Monkey Centre, 5 minutes from the Mae Sa Waterfalls...The list is endless. The "Old City" of Chiang Mai is too busy and only the markets and wats to see...staying in the mountains (only 20 minutes or so outside the city) at the Away Resort is the best way to go! Their pools were beautiful and relaxing and the kiddie pool was the perfect size for our 2 and 3 year old children! I cannot say enough positive things about this resort. It's a MUST stay!!
