Old City

As the name suggests, Tamarind Village is located on an old tamarind orchard. It's quaint and quiet and feels like you're staying in an old, hidden Lanna village. The main building wraps around a grassy courtyard and a giant, ancient tamarind tree. It glows at night thanks to a sprinkling of twinkling string lights, visible from the guest room terraces. But the star at this hotel is the spa, which offers several traditional Thai or Chinese massages, as well as facials, scrubs, and steams. The rooms are pristine and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. A bonus is the unexpected, totally considered gift shop that's like a mini night market. Shop here for locally made silk scarves and woven baskets.
