Banyen Villa  

Just outside Chiang Mai in San Sai — a short, 15-minute drive to Maejo University and Meechok Plaza and about 9–10 miles from the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center and Chiang Mai National Museum. A small villa-style stay that keeps you close to the city without the city noise.

This intimate villa has only five air-conditioned rooms, each with a fridge, minibar, coffee/tea maker and a separate sitting area. Rooms offer cable TV and private showers with complimentary toiletries; daily housekeeping keeps things tidy. Expect a laid-back, small-villa vibe and outdoor terraces and garden spaces to relax in.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, chill in the garden or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. There’s a massage room for unwind sessions, a bar and on-site restaurant, plus tour/ticket assistance to book local trips. Practical perks include laundry/dry cleaning, luggage storage and a roundtrip airport shuttle (available for a surcharge). Wake up to quiet garden mornings and easy self-parking on site.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The property offers free self-parking, luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk. Elevator access makes common areas more accessible for guests with mobility needs.

On-site restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks, with local-cuisine breakfasts available daily from 7 AM to 10 AM for a fee — a simple way to sample regional flavors before heading out.
