Fern Resort Mae Hong Son  

In a lush valley just outside Mae Hong Son, up in Northern Thailand's mountains. This family-friendly mountain resort sits minutes from Phraya Singhanatracha Memorial, Wat Phra Non, the Pai River and Wat Chong Klang — roughly a 5-minute drive to local sights.

Bungalow-style rooms and 30 air-conditioned guestrooms with private terraces or balconies give a laid-back, local vibe. Rooms come with a dressing table, chairs and a small table; some layouts accommodate families (double rooms can hold children on existing bedding, and a double with an extra bed fits additional guests). Library, terrace and open-air spots add to the chill mountain ambiance.

Outdoorsy perks include an outdoor swimming pool and bicycles to rent. Practical extras: gift shop/newsstand, tour and ticket assistance, laundry and luggage support, plus a complimentary local shuttle and roundtrip airport shuttle available on request. Wake to misty mountain mornings from your balcony and soak up valley views.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Rooms include safes, and the hotel offers luggage storage and daily housekeeping.

Enjoy meals at the Open Air Restaurant and unwind at the bar/lounge. A complimentary breakfast is served daily from 7 AM to 10 AM to kick-start your mountain mornings.
