| The creative mind for over three decades behind many palaces, restaurants,
hotels, resorts, and pubs in Thailand as well as Thai embassies overseas,
noted interior designer ML Sudavadee Kriangkrai found Phu Chaisai a
home for solace and peace of mind. Once a bamboo forested hill, it was
gradually and inventively transformed into a cozy residence and later
a resort, all within five years. Phu Chaisai is now an oasis of spirituality for city dwellers that seek refuge from the wear and tear of the city. One can't help but be impressed by the beauty of the tranquility and the natural setting. Thirty-four rooms were made of bamboo and are void of television sets and electronic alarm clocks. In the warm embrace of Mother Nature, many can make peace with their inner selves. Simplicity is always the key to ML Sudavadee's designs. In the East-meets-West fashion show, she defined her design as integrated for relaxation of body and mind with high-quality hospitality and professional performance. |

ACCOMMODATIONS
| Soaked in dew, the fresh green leaves of trees glisten
as day breaks. The entire mountain range and forest is a thick canopy
of green humming with the singing of birds and insects. Open your eyes
and from the confines of your bed watch the sun moving up the horizon. From the outside, this small and romantic resort is just a cluster of ordinary bamboo huts with thatched rooms, but once you step inside you realize that these huts are special. Devoid of brand name decorative items and expensive furniture, Phu Chaisai chose to build with decorative items. The air is just one of the many attractions of Phu Chaisai (Mountain of Clear Hearts), an enchanting little ''boutique'' resort located in the hills outside of Mae Chan, in Chiang Rai. The relative silence is another. The breathtaking views afforded from the generous terraces and the bright and airy rooms, as well as most of the common areas, is yet another. Deluxe Cottage - Deluxe Cottages are more spacious than the Superior Cottages to provide you more comfort during your stay. Each room, 40-55 sqm , also provides a panoramic view of the entire valley. Moreover this room is comprised with more facilities as private indoor bathtub besides its own private covered balcony where you can enjoy reading a good book during the day and private stargazing time at night.

We almost couldn't find the resort as it was hidden in the mountain! The location is too far if you wanna explore the Chiang Rai town and go up to Golden Triangle! But if you wanna just relax and enjoy the mountain view, Phu Chaisai is value for money. Great room, great view, exceptional Thai food at their restaurant and great spa! But some of the facilities eg. swimming pool, common area and gardening is under maintenance. The room #304 we stayed didn't have hot shower at all! The hotel gave us another room just for shower!

loved it here. the room was great with a nice balcony and a big bath room and extra sitting room. they grow and serve their own organic vegies and herbs. It's great place to relax get the spa treatment and take a tour or 2 of the nearby sights of interests. Not a place for those who like to walk outside and go shopping dining as there isn't really anything else in walking distance.

Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort & Spa
Accommodation and facilities:
Phu Chaisai is probably one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever been. The view from the resort is heavenly for a photography enthusiast like me. The room is so big and the furnishing is so unique. We had breakfast at the hotel on both days and we did also have dinner. The food is fantastic although we actually didn't expect much. However the highlight of my stay there is when I left one of my shopping bags at the lobby after checked out and we headed to Mae Hong Sorn. I only realized the missing bag 2 days later. I called and the staff is very helpful and trying her very best to find the best way to send the bag to me. Finally we agree to have it sent to Chiangmai where it will be my final destination for this trip before catching my flight home. Here, from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank all the staff at Phu Chaisai for all your assistance.

The environment is excellent and very natural. The food taste really good. Stuffs are helpful and nice. The room is spacious (Deluxe Cottage). Due to the natural matter of Bamboo, woods and leaves, the room is quite old, mold and dusting. Damp and musty smell especially in the rainy season.

Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort & Spa
Accommodation and facilities:
This resort is something very special! I have travelled round the world, being outside of my own country for more than 6 000 days, and this resort was abel to make a very special impression on me and my family. We are planning to stay again for a longer time. My son said that he wants to stay at Phu Chaisai until the day we die. The place is tranquile and peaceful. It is remote but it has all the conveniences of home. We stayed at a villa which had its own private pool. In addition, a bigger swimming pool is at the disposal of all guests. There even was a Finnish sauna next to the swimming pool, free of charge. The garden is large and well-maintained. The mountain view is beautiful. The staff was always most helpful and kind. The owner couple is there to see that everything is going fine. To our surprise, the resort arranged a small outing for all of the guests, free of charge. During the trip, we had a chance to go elephant riding and to pick fresh berries in a garden. The only thing that I was wondering about is that how is this place going to make money. There were so few guests there. I hope more people will get to know about Phu Chaisai and have a chance to enjoy the special luxory that it offers. Ilkka Kauranen Finland

For my opinion Phu Chaisai seem the heaven. Previous new year vacation I can stay there only 1 night cause of that period was full by many traveler. That makes me feel a little bit regret. But I desided to visit Phu Chaisai again within this year. I will bring my mom and my brother to visit there with. I want to make them feel and touch the real beautiful resort and happiness when being there. Phu Chaisai has many activities program to welcome us to do it. If you guys have a chance and time, don't waste but go to touch it yourself. Thank you. Jett

Phu Chaisai Mountain Resort & Spa
Accommodation and facilities:
Nice place, but not the premiere service they aspire to. Room is comfortable and large enough; wonderful mountain/jungle views. Plenty of hot water in the shower (which many resorts can claim.) Peaceful except for construction on neighboring hotel about 300 meters away with much noise from about 9 AM till 5 PM. They are just laying the foundation of the new place, so expect construction noise for another year. Not too intrusive, but still not pristine mountain sounds. Restaurant menu is limited and expensive. I had a good beef stew for 400 THB; my wife had a Thai dish which was fish that you wrap in lettuce leaves. This can be fixed in traditional Thai style, but they didn't warn it would be in northern Thai style which is a noticeably different recipe. She didn't really enjoy it (she is Thai.) The restaurant staff is rough around the edges. One was playing with the resident dog and pond fish in between bringing food. The other gave us some backtalk about moving the mosquito incense closer to our table to keep away the insects. She wouldn't do it for my wife, but when I insisted, then she did it. She got no tip. Pool is attractive, but small. Two people can comfortably swim laps. If any children are playing, no one can swim laps. Most disturbing to me, I ordered coffee in the lounge after dinner. They brought what tasted exactly like instant freeze-dried coffee. It was horrible, and cost around 100 baht. In a land of fresh-grown mountain coffee, this is inexcusable. I had better fresh-ground coffee for 20 baht in local cafes. Since we had a rental car, we ate the rest of our meals in town (except breakfast, which was included in our package.) I ordered a virgin fruit drink for my wife (alcoholic drink, but leave out the liquor) and they charged full price. Any other place would discount for leaving out the liquor. Thus, we essentially paid 180 baht for pineapple juice with grenadine. grrrrrrr!!!!! Note: The drive from the local highway on their private driveway is long (nearly 1 km) and confusing. Most of the road is dirt, with plenty of potholes. Heavy construction ongoing which led me to believe we were lost on the wrong dirt road. It branched in many places with unclear markings of which way to go. Do not attempt this the first time in the dark. My 2nd time up was much more comfortable, being assured I wasn't lost in the wilderness. In summary, I would stay there again IF the price were about 30% cheaper. I wouldn't plan on eating many meals there.
Reservation service:
R24/siamservices/siamwebhosting.com is ok, often the best prices online but not always. I ve used them 3 times; they ve always delivered as promised though twice I ve had to follow up to get them to email me the voucher. The hotel was expecting us on arrival on the terms agreed. Nice service! :-)

We have nothing but praise for this resort. The staff-from Management to gardeners and drivers- were charming and so caring. The gardens were a delight and the atmosphere so peaceful and calming; it was a tonic just to wander around the resort. Room facilities were very good with regular linen changes; the verandahs had superb views. Food was good- we only had Thai dishes- breakfast buffet (outside) was particularly good. The Spa was great; in a secluded spot with excellent staff- most therapeutic.
