Villa San Pee Seua  

Riverside, 5 km north of Chiang Mai city center — a family-owned boutique resort on the Ping River with views of Doi Suthep. Close to Tribal Museum, Chiang Mai National Museum, Chiang Mai International and Exhibition Center, and a short drive from the Night Bazaar and Central Festival Chiangmai.

Humble, family-run vibes since 2009 with riverside gardens and open-air dining. Rooms are intimate and air-conditioned (just 18 total) with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers; safes, phones and rollaway beds are available on request. Expect warm, personal service from the team led by Prae and a calm, garden-side atmosphere perfect for couples and family-friendly stays.

Dip in an outdoor or indoor pool — there’s even an infinity-style pool — then hit the fitness center or unwind at the spa and massage room. Kids have playrooms and outdoor BBQ areas; guests can try fishing, canoeing or lantern releasing on the river. Free coffee, laundry/dry cleaning, concierge, luggage storage, onsite doctor access, and a complimentary shuttle into the city keep things easy.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and free self-parking. Airport transfers available for a surcharge and tour/ticket assistance to help plan local excursions.

Open-air riverside breakfasts are served daily (English breakfast commonly available 7:30–10:30). On-site restaurant, coffee shop/café and bar serve homemade dishes and local Northern Thai flavors; occasional riverside BBQ parties and limited-hours room service round out the options. Free fresh coffee is available throughout the day.
