Tucked away in the heart of Chiang Mai's historic district, Tamarind Village offers a relaxed and peaceful stay far from the city's hustle and bustle.

A warm and welcoming residence for your stay in Chiang Mai

A wonderful example of Lanna architecture, Tamarind Village makes little effort to hide its commitment to authenticity. Its charm stems not only from the majestic tamarind tree planted in the middle of the garden. The décor and furnishings in the rooms have been carefully designed to reflect the cultural and ethnic richness of northern Thailand. Guests stay in air-conditioned rooms that rival those in top-rated French hotels in terms of comfort and elegance. Yet the panoramic views of the garden, period-style wardrobes and cabinets, and textiles of tribal origin remind you that you are indeed in Lanna territory. This design that respects indigenous cultures and traditions sets the hotel apart. What's more, the team takes pride in delivering swift and exceptional service befitting a luxury establishment.

Where is Tamarind Village located?

Tamarind Village's greatest asset is its location. It is surrounded by temples, pagodas, and gently rolling hills. It's about a 10-minute walk from Chiang Mai's night bazaar and Wat Chedi Luang. Guests with vehicles can make full use of the hotel's car park. Upon request, a shuttle service will pick them up at the airport and arrange their transfer to the hotel. The property is located 5 km north of Chiang Mai International Airport and about 100 km from Lampang Airport.

For an authentic Chiang Mai holiday in a setting that is both natural and luxurious, there is one address to remember: 50 Rachadamnoen Rd Soi 1, Tambon Si Phum, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand.
